Ruttger's Birchmont Lodge

We've stayed here a few times over the years. First the good: the grounds are beautiful. Right on the lake. Large trees. Main lodge is fantastic in the communal areas/dining room. Staff is polite and attentive. The bad: the cabins are EXTREMELY dated and simply worn out. Broken fixtures. Leaking doors. Antique (but not in a good way) appliances. Lots of rot. Questionable cleaning. The indoor pool is straight up disgusting. The main lodge rooms are slightly better, but not much. Overall, location is great. Resident doggos are adorable. Everything else is decrepit and for the price, I'd probably avoid this place.

We enjoy it because it is quiet with beautiful views. You van gobon a nice walk and listen to the water. The staff is so accommodating. Also like the larger size room and bathroom.

i’ve never been here before, so I did not know what I was getting myself into. I was under the impression that it was more cabinet like and it wasn’t where we were placed was in a motel type of place. I was under the impression that there was a sliding door that went right out to the lake. Well there was but we’re on the second floor so you only had like a patio I guess so that was a little bit disappointing and then it snowed so we’re outside trying to haul all this luggage up to the second floor on the slippery ass steps and then I thought it would be more modern. I kind of felt like I was gonna get murdered, but I didn’t. It seemed very safe. It just looked really old. I guess, but it was clean and staff were super awesome. The continental breakfast was pretty nice. Actually we were the only ones in there so it was kinda nice just having that peacefulness there was waffles which were amazing and then eggs and muffins and juices and milk and coffee. It was really nice. Actually it all in all I would recommend this place to somebody if you’re looking just to get away nothing bougie just basic. It was nice.

It was a very nice and quiet hotel. Parking was a little confusing but overall was very nice. The kids enjoyed the pool alot.

The walls are paper thin. Very loud people on both sides of us sounded like they were in our room with us. Called a noise complaint and no change from the loud ass people on both sides. Left a message at the front for the owner/manager and no call. The property is beautiful, the food was great. Our waitress and bartender both amazing and the front desk employees very friendly.

Bed was not comfortable and the pool closed at 8 wish it was open longer. We didn’t arrive until 8
