3 STORIES & MEMORIES... OUR RUTTGER S CABIN The story of the Diffley family RUTTGER S CELEBRITY The story of Frankie IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO PLAY VIDEO, CLICK HERE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO PLAY VIDEO, CLICK HERE. Meet the Diffley family. A few years back when they were shopping for a cabin in the area, they discovered Ruttger s. After falling in love with the comfortable, family friendly vibe of the resort, they decided life would be a whole lot less work if Ruttger s became their cabin. The result is a lot of stress-free family time at Bay Lake. They liked it so much, they even named their dog Ruby. Meet Frankie. She s a bit of a celebrity here at Ruttger s. It might be because of her infectious personality, or her abundant kindness. Or, it might be that she can sing like an angel and can often be found on stage with the band.
