Welcome to Ruttger's Birchmont Lodge in Bemidji, Minnesota.

Welcome to the beautiful Minnesota north woods -  from Minnesota's oldest resort family!  The Ruttger Family's  tradition of hospitality goes back four generations - that's more than 100 years of historic family resort operation in Minnesota.

Ruttger's Birchmont Lodge is located on the northwest shore of beautiful Lake Bemidji, just north of the bustling college town of Bemidji. Nestled in the lake and forest region of north central Minnesota, Bemidji offers the solitude of the north woods but the amenities of a much larger city.
