Paul’s Lakeside Cottage
A 500 square foot very comfortable base camp

Malia

1 week ago

With pets

3 nights at Paul’s Lakeside Cottage

The cabin was perfect for a wintery getaway! Paul was a gracious host who went the extra mile (literally) to meet us at the road’s entrance with a snowplow-equipped jeep to make sure we didn’t get stuck in the snow. The space was surprisingly spacious with lots of spots to hang out indoors. We enjoyed the wood stove, games and puzzles, and the bed was very comfy. We look forward to coming back when it’s warm enough weather to swim and take the canoe out on the water.

Weekend Trip to Paul’s Lakeside Cottage

Paul's place is a true gem - and Paul + Piper are gems of hosts! We enjoyed a cozy and very cold winter weekend warm and comfy by the wood stove, walking out on the frozen lake, enjoying good conversations with Paul, and even getting some sweet tips on the happenings in town. Already so excited to come back!

Weekend Trip to I Live in the Country

The drive in was amazing, big beautiful trees and snow everywhere. Definitely the nicest people I have ever met. I got stuck in the snow and multiple people offered to help me. The host was polite and met with me as I pulled in.

Weekend Trip to RV There Yet Campground

We loved the spacious sites, very private. The pine trees are beautiful.

Weekend Trip to RV There Yet Campground

We loved camping on Allen’s land. We enjoyed how quiet and to yourself you are in this camp ground. We highly recommend this if you like outdoors and nature.

Sunset Pines MN

71 sites · Lodging, RVs50 acres · Backus, MN

Mike and Loellen discovered Ruttger’s Camping Resort in the winter of 2005 while driving around the area and scanning websites for trailers. We bought a trailer on a seasonal site and have thoroughly enjoyed our summers here ever since! Our sons grew up on the lake, boating and fishing and exploring the area and we have developed a wonderful lake-family. We have watched Bill and Candy Ruttger build the resort into the beautiful property that it is today and feel privileged to have the opportunity to now share it with you. Under our new ownership and with a new name, Sunset Pines MN in January 2023, we are eager to carry on the legacy created by our friends and mentors. We welcome you to enjoy our piece of “Up North” Minnesota lake-life with your family and friends, and don’t forget to enjoy a sunset or two! Mike & Loellen
