LOVED everything about our stay! Was only there a few days, but want to come back and stay in the one of the cabins (stayed in lodge this time). The property is stunning and there is so much to do and see. Food was great too!

Family resort with great customer service

Cragun's is an old-fashioned family resort. This time we stayed in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath cabin. They have great customer service. Our original cabin had an issue, so they promptly moved us to a new, similar cabin, and the new cabin was perfect.

Great winter get away place!

Was a fun weekend get away with my wife. Our king size room over looked the lake. Room was nice! Bed was comfortable. We ice skated. Swam. Used the hot tub. Canoe & Paddle was great for food and drinks. Fun entertainment. Breakfast buffet was surprisingly good for the low price it was. Overall I’d recommend this place in winter. Lots to do outside.

6/10 Good

Very very average

This resort is very dated. Smells old. It takes a long time to get from one end of the resort to the other, therefore challenging with little ones. The morning we were going to check out they began scrapping the surface area around the pool at 7:00 am! Woke up the kids in our poolside room. We had told the kids that they could jump in the pool one more time before we departed, but didn’t realize they were going to be doing construction that morning on it. Would’ve been nice to know. Ended up with some disappointed kids. Mentioned it at checkout but was just told “that’s too bad” and they (reception staff?) weren’t aware of the resurfacing taking place. Irma’s kitchen is a very nice place to eat. Prices are a bit high. Resort is not very “accessible” for strollers wagons etc unless you are on the main walkways. Has to carry them up and down several flights of stairs. Some rooms are almost impossible to find, signage is poor in regards to this. We have come to this area for years and thought we would give this resort a try. It is a bit cheaper, but obvious reasons why. The indoor pool area’s very nice and as long as this is open, it is worth coming to. If it’s just for the sake of the outdoor pool that you’re coming, then it wouldn’t be worth it. Wish Craguns much luck in the future but major updates and cleaning need to happen, as well as the other things I mentioned. For now we will stick with Maddens or Grandview even though they are more expensive it’s worth it

2/10 Poor

Unsatisfactory service

The trip started out fine. Then when we went to breakfast we were not informed that the breakfast was extra. Then the maintenance team left unsanitary hot tub filters sitting on our tabe where we were eating. Then when we went to check out and grab the rest of our food for our daughter's birthday they had cleaned our cabin and threw it away before we even checked out. Then they seemed to pass the buck on doing anything about it very unsatisfied with this stay.
