The property was pretty much as described. The host, Patti, is direct, honest, and helpful. The plusses include the number of different spaces where we could enjoy this property. The dock, the deck overlooking the lake, the fire-pit area, the gazebo (where we dined each evening), and the covered deck with grill and table right outside the kitchen. The house was a little snug for the nine of us, but extremely comfortable and very well appointed. All views are gorgeous, and the pines all around give a real Northwoods feel.
Water play was fun in Ruth Lake, and the kayaks were a total pleasure for all ages. I would have liked a canoe or rowboat as well for taking my grandkids fishing, but we rented the pontoon boat for a few days to give us more flexibility.
We truly enjoyed our week. We explored a lot of the local area and felt fully at home on our return to this property.
