Craguns has been around for a long time. The buildings are outdated but clean and well maintained. All staff, both front desk and in the restaurants were great. Very friendly and helpful.

Service was minimal, and we didn't feel particularly welcome. The room felt a bit outdated, and the beds were too soft for comfort. We also had trouble sleeping due to loud snoring coming from a neighboring room.

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.

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.

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 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.
