Cragun's never disappoints!! We have been going there for years and it is ALWAYS a great time. Staff is friendly, rooms are clean, setting is beautiful.
We stayed here for a family vacation. Had a great time. Restaurant, pools, beach, playground, pontoon rental, golf, tennis were all great. Cabin was clean and comfortable. Would stay here again.
The view of the lake was right outside our door. Sun rise from the room every morning was beautiful. Super clean room and looks updated. The staff was veery easy to ask question while using text messaging. Made it much easier than walking up to the office as the place is huge.
Great environment, beautiful views and friendly staff. We had a problem with the fireplace, within minutes they had sent someone to fix it. Also the lock on the door into the room was not functioning, again they sent maintenance to fix it within minutes! Other than those couple little things, it was a great time! The room was great and I would recommend this place to many of my friends!
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 The buildings are outdated but clean and well maintained.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.
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!
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.
Lots of things to do, very family friendly. Staff was very helpful. Food was great. Bech was beautiful. Room was spacious. Im looking forward to coming back.
