Had not been to area before this 4-night stay for attending a boat show. Our particular accomodation was a suite with elec. fireplace in space having King bed. Had 2 T.V.s, a full-size, cold refrigerator, 4-cup drip coffee maker. But, bring your own coffee or take am hike to lobby for their excellent complimentary coffee. The room was clean and well-kept. Enough towels, etc for entire stay. Indoor tennis/pickleball, pool, and walking track. Very nice!

The property was very well upkept, the staff was very pleasant, grounds were clean, quiet, vast (as ther was alot to do from indoor pool, out door pool, the swiming beach, many rental options, play ground for the kids and the floating platform/gungle gym in the lake.) Many room options, cabins to bigger housing options or just stay in the main lodge. I got over 10,000 steps in just walking around the main building. BIG... Onsite bar / restraunt. Theres irmas kitchen. Food at indoor pool side. Sun deck. Breakfast in the morning. To planning your wedding venue onsite. Large boat tour of the lake. And many other things to do i probably missed... so go stay for 2 days to a week or more. Something for everyone. And only a few minutes from brainard and nisswa. So have fun and happy resorting...

I thought the area was beautiful, property was a little tired. My room was nice and worked. I thought the restaurants and selections were very limited and food was marginal. I found I visited a neighboring resort for dinning, which was very good. Dinning defiantly needs to improve

We stayed at Cragun's over MEA. The area around the resort was beautiful. The cabin we stayed in was old, worn out, and not very clean. The furniture was uncomfortable, the stove/oven were from the 1980's and heated food unevenly. There was no WIFI and besides the indoor pool there was limited entertainment for young children.

The property was vast with plenty room. I arrived a couple hours early. I was told I'd get am email when my room was ready. I never did. The restaurants weren't open till five. There's a small bar by the check. The server new absolutely nothing and didn't care either. I asked for directions to the Legacy bar. He told me to look it up. I had to make to noise complaints for people partying on a deck below. I got apathy from almost everyone. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

The inside area where the bathrooms are near the outdoor pool was not clean at all. It just looked like a place where no one cared. The lack of elevators or convenient ones was tough, because many flights of stairs were necessary to get to our room.

The hospitality was wonderful, and the accommodations fine. I think perhaps it’s time to update the older facility, but it was still a pleasant experience with good amenities.

This property was in disrepair. The room was damp and dirty, and our feet turned black from walking on the floors. There was also an unknown white powder on one of the beds, which was disturbing. The hallways were dingy and damp, and the ceiling tiles were falling down. The rates were incredibly high due to peak season, so I assumed that the property would be comparable to others in the area. It turns out that this was just an attempt to gouge unsuspecting travelers and take advantage of limited lodging during the summer. We went home after one night. It was a terrible experience, and I would never come back or recommend this place to anyone! Worst birthday ever!

Property was okay, a bit dated. Food was excellent and staff was friendly. Would be more willing to overlook the age/musty feel but it felt expensive for what you got.

We were extremely unhappy with our stay. The room was filthy and looked like it hadn't been vacuumed. There was a hair on the bed and another that matched it on the toilet. There was greasy fingerprints on the walls and air conditioning controls. They never cleaned our room or gave us clean towels. When we called to requested them we waited over an hour, then gave up and left. They apparently dont clean the rooms unless you ask, but never informed us or had any signs or paperwork telling us to call and ask to have the room cleaned during our stay. So if you like clean rooms, clean sheets, clean towels, shampoo, conditioner, or the coffee they claim to provide...this place isn't for you. Wasn't impressed at all with the food either. I'll be staying at Breezy Point from now on.

Weekend getaway! While the resort is older, they are working to update the rooms and we were fortunate to stay in an updated resort room with a deck and full view of the lake! The update was well done and included everything in the room - making our stay incredibly comfortable! We wanted to love the Sunday brunch, but it was pretty mediocre. The service was great through out our stay and we hope to be back!

You can't say enough about a room that's 100 feet from Gull Lake. Cragun's is a very nice place, but know that it's been around for a long time, so parts of the property, such as our room, are pretty old. They do their best to keep things up, though, so lots of credit there. Also be aware that you may encounter your share of Guys Golf Outings, girls and guys' bachelor/bachelorette parties, and all that comes with that, including rather loud conversations at 12:30 a.m. Nothing Cragun's can do about that--it's the nature of the place. But The Nature itself is magnificent, and once things quiet down, the nights and mornings are like heaven.
