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.

A must stay

Such a great place to spend a summer week. So much to do and see, and the view from the decks is so peaceful. Highly recommend. Love the old historic feel.
