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.

"Stayed at your resort a couple of days ago and just wish to say that it was the best stay of our vacation, especially for the price. Having a double room with single beds for the kids was a bonus, great, reasonable food on site was a bonus, beach on site was a bonus, We really enjoyed the kayaks, and your staff was soooo friendly and helpful! Kudos to Melissa and Erin (waitresses, who if you didn't have any pink lemonade, conjured some up, and if you didn't have floats on the menu, could invent one, wow).  You didn't even have any mosquitos!  BONUS!!!  Thanks, Ruttgers.  I felt like we stayed at a place who knew what hospitality was all about. "        Nita, August 28, 2008

In the Fall and Winter seasons, some of the resort facilities close. The resort dining room and bar are closed. Ruttger's does keep several motel rooms, some town-home style units and cabins or Villas open during the colder months. The indoor pool, exercise rooms, sauna, and whirlpool are open all year long offering you and the kids a great Northern Minnesota winter family vacation spot.  In the fall, guests enjoy the beautiful Autumn colors in the woods surrounding the resort and Bemidji area. Hunters enjoy the abundant game population that our north-woods location provides. The deer, duck, and grouse hunting in the Bemidji area is hard to beat.
