Perfect place to stay if you want to hit the ice or just hunker in for some r and r! A couple of nice little bars in town as well!

The pictures of the outside do not do this place justice. It is gorgeous! The house is so big I feel like I did not even see parts of it. The house was exactly what we needed for our annual friends trip. :)

Pictures do not do the outside justice. The lakefront views and backyard are amazing. The house is massive! Definitely exceeded expectations. Bring your own toiletries.

My wife and I, by the Grace of God, celebrated our anniversary with family. We were happy with the space provided for our group of 18. It was nice that we could eat all together at the same table. Plenty of space to entertain and relax. And it was nice to have our own private swimming beach and dock.

The property and cabin were incredible! So much space and everyone had a bed to sleep in. The property was clean and stocked with the basics. The cabin is right on the lake and has incredible views. The sunsets were straight out of a painting. Loved every day we spent there and would rent it again if it’s a available.

The house was large and had a gorgeous sunset over its expansive lake view. Easy check-in. Dock and lakeshore were nice and the house was very clean, but the house was just a few points short of full luxury retreat and included: old carpet, old pool table that had only 1 cue stick and rest broken, foosball table that had a broken rod, dated futons throughout, gas grill with an empty propane tank we had to fill, dull kitchen knives, master bathroom doors didn't shut to bedroom, and no laundry detergent. The worst aspect was the sump pump/drain system that ran every 4 minutes one night when it rained plus ran anytime someone used water in the house, which kept the master bedroom and 1 upstairs bedroom awake all night. Positives are nice kitchen appliances, large and multiple gathering spaces with couches/tvs/dining room space, outdoor game space, extra fridge in the garage, good amount of kitchen utensils/plates/cups/etc. Overall for the cost of this vs. other 9k sq ft cabins it was a good place to stay. We had 12 adults and 4 kids and enjoyed the weekend and never felt cramped. we may stay there again with slightly lower expectations, but only if they could confirm the sump pump noise was not going to happen again.

We had made reservations last minute and they were more then accommodating! This place is very true to the pictures and the people we worked with were great and very fast to respond. Would definitely suggest staying here and will probably be back next year.

Such a big private cabin with many rooms to fit the whole family! The kids were excited how roomy and spacious it was. My 10 month year old son walked around freely! The view of the lake was great to see every moring!! The Charcoal grill was so huge that it took us once to finish all the cooking. (My husband enjoyed it and is thinking about getting one himself!) 😄 The only downfall I would say is the bathroom sinks took a while for the the water to drain. Which that is a very minimal issue and am sure it could easily be fixed. Wish we could've plan for the summer because it was a bit chilly, but that didnt stop us from jumping into the lake. 😊 We will definitely come back to this beautiful cabin during the summer time!!!💖💖💖

We booked this cabin because of the propane grill, but it was nowhere in sight. The seasonal rooms were also listed as available year round, and our guests were prepared for this. However, once we arrived we once again were surprised to found out they were completely locked and sealed off. Had we were made aware of these two things beforehand, we would have cancelled this trip. The host did reply to our texts, and encouraged us to go purchase a grill. We would be reimbursed for up to $200. However, we didn’t think it was our responsibility nor should our time be used to fix this problem for the host. We had to adjust and ended up making our burgers and steaks on the stove. As for the rooms, we were told there were many futons and we can just “crash on the couch”.. which is exactly what we wanted to avoid and the reason for booking this cabin with multiple rooms. Our guests who came after we arrived, ended up bringing their air mattresses and slept in areas with no privacy. A few more things: There is only one bathroom upstairs and one bathroom downstairs (this door was severely broken) for the entire house. The rest are located within the rooms. The house is full of animals and pictures of Native Americans. It looks fancily decorated in the photos, but it may be unsettling for some people in real life. I made the host very aware with the implications we met on the first day of our trip, and I still had to bring these up to him in order for him to consider giving us a discount for a later check out time. It felt like he didn’t take my complaints seriously until I repeated them again and again. One of our guests also lost something at the cabin & I asked the host to keep me updated. Whether it was found or not, I did not get an update until I asked for another one. As the host for my friends and family, I wanted this to all go well but we made so many adjustments since day 1.. overall our guests loved that there were multiple couches, a large dining table, and the pool table. We’d have to take a lot into consideration before we decide to book this place again.

Beautiful spacious home. It was large enough to accommodate everyone comfortably. Thank you for sharing your home with my family.

The property manager was quick to respond and return my call when I had questions. The home was beautiful and clean, and the property itself was amazing. I would gladly stay here again!

The property was huge and beautiful. Luke was awesome and responded quick through out our stay. Best place for the price!

This rental was even better than the pictures could show. We had an absolutely amazing time and stay here. The north woods was something incredible to experience and even saw the northern lights just from off the back patio! Would highly recommend, 5 out of 5 for sure!

We've stayed here a couple times and enjoyed it both times. Everything generally looks and functions as described!

Thank you

This is a BEAUTIFUL cabin with so much space. My friends and I rented this cabin for our annual cabin trip and it was by far the best we’ve had. Check-in was extremely easy and the guest contact was available at all times, but we didn’t need to reach out because everything was perfect and in place for a successful weekend.

Great stay at this property. We had our annual get together here and enjoyed it immensely. Wish there was central air throughout the house, but we made it work. Thanks for the stay!

We enjoyed our stay very much! Very spacious and plenty of room to play. The lake was amazing too!

Should not be labeled handicap accessible. No fans on hot July days, dock to small, burners on stove did not work properly, small refrigerator for this size property, pavers need fixed. Loved Northern Minnesota but will be finding a different place to stay.

The cabin was very beautiful and had so much space for all of us! It rained a couple nights but the little kids hung out in one family room and the adults hung out in the other, it was so nice to not feel like you’re sitting on each other’s lap! Beach frontage was a little small and the dock was big enough for the pontoon we rented but not for our fishing boat. We would definitely stay here again, very secluded and the kids had a great time fishing off the dock!

We had a great time with our family, the cabin was perfect for our family, it was clean and we loved all the decor. The lake is really clean, great beach area for the kids.

some small kinks that happened but did not cloud our enthusiasim for property

This place was really nice, and didn’t have that weird cheap feel that rental places sometimes have. It was clean, well maintained, and cool. One thing to note, there are several 3 seasons rooms , and they’re cold in the winter :)

We had a great family Christmas this year at Ruth Lake! The house was the perfect size for us and very clean. When we arrived, we found that 2 of the bedrooms are seasonal (which was not on the listing) and we were able to get in touch with the owner and property manager. The PM provided space heaters for those 2 bedrooms but unfortunately the circuit breaker was not large enough to support both of them on at once. The family enjoyed the game room and the seating provided around the fire! The large dining table was also a big plus! Good location and easy to get in and out of the property.

October 17-20, 2019 Ruth lake retreat was a great place for our large family getaway. We were a group of 22 ranging in ages from 6 months to 70’s and it accommodated well. The pool table was a big hit. Two separate great rooms worked well ... kids did their gaming on one side, adults watched sports on the other side. We enjoyed the large grass area (football), fire pit and dock (fishing and tying up boat). Also great to have laundry to use. Had use of a double garage space and extra fridge. Both the owner and emergency contact were great to work with. Very responsive to questions and needs. A few things that need working on: -Window coverings in porch bedrooms -new beds in porch bedrooms ... very saggy. -another bathroom would be nice. There is only 1 bathroom upstairs to accommodate 8 people. The other 2 full bathrooms are inside bedrooms on main level. -better lighting in kitchen and porch -update carpets. There were some fraying areas. -oven door needs new hinges. Had to prop closed with chair. Overall a great place and would visit again!

the retreat was very beautiful. but it is listed as accessible. i am handicapped and it was not. the main floor master bed was incredibly high. and no rails in shower for use.other than that it was a good experience. the manager was very helpful. the weather turned cold while we were there and the heat wasnt working right. so he sent someone that day to fix.

This house is every bit as beautiful as the pictures indicate. Very peaceful setting overlooking the lake. There were no window coverings in the porch bedrooms, and those two beds should be replaced as they are very saggy. Other than that, the house was very comfortable and accommodated our large family wonderfully. We would definitely re-book!

This is a spectacular home. The house is very specious and well decorated. It was very clean and fairly well equipped with everything you would need. Any issues we had Luke, our contact person there as soon as possible to resolve the issue. The grounds are beautiful and the swimming beach is great. I give it a 4 out of 5 just due to a few issues that need to be fixed that I feel they will. If you have a large ground and like room to roam, this is the house for you! We would rent again.

Very large cabin with everything you need.

Spacious and well decorated.
