Bemidji - Ruttger's Birchmont Lodge

It all started in 1898 when Great Grandpa Joe Ruttger, who had emigrated from Germany in the late 19th century, built some cottages on the farm he had homesteaded in Bay Lake, Minnesota. Fishermen would take the train to Deerwood from the Twin cities. Joe would meet them at the station with his team of horses and drive them five miles to his farm on Bay Lake. There wasn't much else to do but fish, but the fishing was good, the cabins by the lake were clean and comfortable, and the meals which his wife Josephine cooked were delicious.
