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.

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.

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!

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.

The girl checking us in had poor English and bad communication skills. It was not explained how to best access our room. It was a very long walk and we should have been directed to drive.

The property is very family friendly. Lots of activities for families. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The suite we had had a wonderful view of the lake but the room could use a bit of updating.

Property was great, wish we got a better rundown of where things were at. Also went to the restaurant right by the lobby and the sign said wait to be seated and we stood there for 5 minutes and no one even said hi.
