It was our first stay. Like the location, like the quiet. Very homey, comfy feel. The only meal we ate was the breakfast and that was disappointing not to have hot breakfat options other than waffles. However not a deal breaker forbus amd would absolutely stay again and recommend.

Liked the lake. Cabin was in very poor condition. Especially for over $200 a night. Peeling paint, dirty carpet, couldnt sit on sofa because it was so saggy. I undertand its a very old cabin. But they should still keep up the conditions. Or drastically refuce the price. Ruttgers has a strong history and presence in the community. They should do better maintenance.

The view is so peaceful and having a fire near the beach was really wonderful. The shower seemed to have some issues, the water wouldn't drain so we had to take take quick showers in shin deep water. It was great and plan to go back more often.

It was very good except the water pressure in our room in the main lodge would suddenly and there would be no water coming out of shower or sink. Happened a couple of times. Told management and they would have had us change rooms but we were leaving early the next day so declined.

This was an awesome property a long time ago, but now it’s worn out and rundown. We stayed in Cedar Lodge right after it rained. The place reeks of mold, the furnishings are ancient, the bathroom smells funky and is overall disgusting condition. The carpeting has an eclectic pattern of filth and stains. I woke up in the middle of the night with a horribly sore throat and congestion, which went away about 2 hours after I left the place. DO NOT STAY HERE.
