Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

This place is a treasure. So many unique details, and it was bigger than expected. Comfortable beds, great lighting, and a huge bathroom. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

The cabin is clean and cozy. The kitchen has everything you need - you don't need to bring any pans or cooking utensils. Important note: the description says that the bunk is a twin bunk. It is not. It is two full-sized beds (not queens), bunked one on top of the other. There is another bed in the other room which is a twin. The kitchen and bathroom have separate heating that was very warm. The main sleeping/living/dining room has baseboard heating and the wood stove, and that room was a little harder to get warm - bring warm blankets and sleeping clothes. It was very quiet, not many homes on the lake, and the cabin is far enough off the main road that we couldn't see or hear cars. We were able to find the cabin easily from the directions. We wished it was closer to hiking trails; like a lot of the state forests in that area it seemed that a lot of the trails are for ATVs or snowmobiles. But we will keep looking. We did get snow while we were there and got out on the lake in snowshoes which was wonderful.

3 nights at Harvest Loon Camp

Perfect combination of rustic cabin with luxurious creature comforts. We loved the main cabin for relaxing around the wood stove, but we also loved the luxurious modern bathroom. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

Harvest Loon Camp is a very secluded cabin that was perfect to disconnect for a short weekend. It is a nice mix of a rustic atmosphere with some modern amenities. We even had some decent cell service. We spent of our time hiking the nearby trails and catching up on our reading. Our German Shepherd spent most of her time napping and keeping warm by the wood fire stove. Thank you for a great getaway!

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

We had a great time here! We were really impressed by all of the upgrades that have been made, while still keeping the original charm of the cabin. The wood-burning stove in the main room was a highlight and a cozy way to keep warm all weekend. We will return next year, maybe to watch the leaves change. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Weekend Trip to Harvest Loon Camp

We fell in love with this place! Charming and perfect balance of rustic and modern touches. We loved spending time at the fire pit outside and also chatting around the wood stove inside. The kitchen is well equipped and the added bathroom is great too. We loved reading about the history and comparing the old photos to what it looks like now. We want to come back every season!!

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

Velkommen to Norske Camp!

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents8 acres · Backus, MN

I bought this land near Pine River in August 2018. I wanted to have my own hunting land and something that was close to town and trails. A property that had a potential of multi-recreational use for people to enjoy while visiting. There are about 40 acres of county land surrounding three sides of the property. The main trail on my land goes thru the majority of the county land and loops back connecting to my main trail again.
