Great place if you like being active on vacation! Many options for activities no matter what day you stay. Staff at every place we visited was friendly and ready to assist if we needed. Bingo was a lot of fun at the golf course club house. Pool area was spacious but not overwhelming. Breakfast buffet was worth every penny. Rooms were cozy and clean. We rented a fish house as well, which was a lot of fun. Only caught 1 walleye but it was nice to be out with such little preparations. Will return to see this place in action during the summer months, for sure!

Working weddings at Cragun’s with Complete Weddings + Events has consistently been a smooth experience. From a DJ and operations standpoint, I really value how well the venue team communicates and supports the overall timeline. The setting is beautiful on its own, but what stands out to me is how professionally everything comes together behind the scenes, which allows couples to fully enjoy their day. Not to mention, the amazing renovations that the Cragun's team is currently working on; which will leave current and past visitors in awe, and new visitors speechless for coming across an incredible gem of a Venue.

The resort is in a great location and I suspect if you have little kids and are trying to be budget friendly, this is a good option. The resort itself is tired, the spaces are odd and forget it if you need walking assistance or if you’re in a wheelchair. They may be legally ADA but we came across one elevator our entire stay and even then you still needed stairs. It was baffling. The hallways are orange and brown, some rooms seem to be renovated but it’s like you’re walking through something frozen in time. There’s no room service and no daily cleaning and check-in is at 5 pm which is inconvenient. Tonight the electric went out in most of our room while we were getting ready to go (needed to use an iPhone flashlight) and my sister’s room (she’s here will us this week) had a broken AC unit.

To start out all I can say is the staff at Cragun's is outstanding! The staff were very helpful any time we had a questions. We needed to arrive a day early due to weather and they were great about getting us an extra night. We stayed for four nights this winter in cabin 104. We are a family of four and there was plenty of room for all of us. We ate at the restaurant in the lodge one night and the food was good. The other meals we had we either made in the kitchen which was fully equipped or ate at restaurants in town. We rented snow shoes one day and the kids had a blast using them for the first time. The staff puts on a ton of activities especially for younger kids. I would highly recommend this resort to stay at for winter and I would guess that summers here would be awesome.

Called the marina last minute during our trip to see about renting a snowmobile. Issac was able to hold us a two seater and sent us out the door quick and easy once we got there! The sled was great, much faster than I remembered - wife enjoy having the seat back! Ease of renting, and then going right out onto lake and trails! Perfect location to rent from, and Issac was awesome to work with! He will get you set up fast, and comfortable with lake/trails/machine! Great way to ride up the lake for lunch👌 100% going back, and asking for Issac!
