Aquamarine and perfectly pristine.
Aquamarine and perfectly pristine. Mother Nature saw fit to deposit an unusually high concentration of calcium in the waters of Sugar Lake, making it bluer, brighter and better for boating, swimming and water sports.

There’s room for the kids, but you don’t have to tell them that. Get away with the family, or get away from the family. Choose from a cozy cottage, a spacious townhouse or anything in between.

Skiing. Snowmobiling. Snuggling. We all want to get snowed in for a few days. And with great dining options, outdoor activities, and a fireplace in your room, you could comfortably stretch that a week or more.

Sugar Lake Lodge
A Ruttger's Resort

Sugar Lake catches sunlight differently than any of the lakes surrounding Grand Rapids, Minnesota. It’s a shade of aquamarine you don’t often see in the north woods, and when you lay eyes on it the first time (or the 100th time) you’ll be rendered speechless.

It’s a "Mediterranean-in-Minnesota" setting that’s simply spectacular for fishing, swimming, boating, biking, golfing, dining and relaxing.

The best part? The shore is just a short stroll from your door, and you have the choice of lakefront lodge rooms, lakefront cottages, lake home rentals, golf course townhouses and all the lake view accommodations you can dream up.

Sugar Lake Lodge is also the only resort around to feature an18-hole championship golf course on site—so it’s not only the perfect family getaway or romantic escape for two, it’s a casual, comfortable corporate retreat.

 

Sugar Lake Lodge - Our History

Our History

Once the site of an Ojibwa sugar camp, the land that now houses Sugar Lake Lodge is studded with maples, birch and pine, plus rolling hills, sweeping vistas, and the color blue as only Mother Nature can make it. Art Otis discovered this rare beauty in the 1930s and realized he needed to share it with everyone.

His first lodge and nearby airstrip greeted guests from around the country, and while that runway is now fairway #12 at our Sugarbrooke Golf Course, we still welcome folks who want to get away without having to go very far.

We’ve been here since 1993, and we welcome you to stay as long as you like.

Meet Your Hosts

Sugar Lake Hosts - Grandpa Alex Ruttger, Uncle Jack and cousin Chris Ruttger, current owners Fred and Gwynne Bobich, and the next generation: Steffani, Joshua and Abby Bobich

Hospitality isn’t a career, it’s a frame of mind. And the Ruttger family has always provided that feeling of welcome. For more than 100 years, the name and reputation have stood for comfort, so that people can sit back, relax, and create lifelong memories with family and friends. Today, with owners Fred and Gwynne Bobich and a host of long-term employees, Sugar Lake Lodge is still part of the family. And that includes you.
