Minnesota Resorts and Lodges

Just north of usual is Ruttger’s Sugar Lake Lodge, where the spirit of the Northwoods still lives. One of the few spring-fed lakes in the state, Sugar Lake’s aquamarine waters are immediately seductive. You can enjoy the sun sparkling on the surface or colorful sunsets from the resort’s western exposure. If you’re itching to get on the water, head down to the marina. You’re free to use any non-motorized equipment, and everything else is available for rent. Play a round of championship golf at Sugarbrooke, or indulge in multiple onsite dining options. Sugar Lake Lodge isn’t the commercialized vacation experience you’ll find many other places. Because up here there are more trees, more space, and more peace and quiet – and it’s only three hours from the Twin Cities! Learn More...
