Guest Reviews
- Willie (10/5): - 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.
- Cory (10/5): - Nice
- Kate (10/5): - NO KIDS. The lake view was excellent. Enjoyed watching the float planes. My room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was helpful and friendly.
- marylu (10/5): - Overall great, clean, good atmosphere.
- Joseph (10/5): - Great place with great staff
- Jeremy (10/5): - 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!
- Mary (2/5): - Our room was accessible only by stairs. We were told that not asking for a non-wheelchair accessible room was our fault as well as Expedia’s. I also had trouble getting my luggage into the building and tripped and fell while I was on the phone with the front desk. 3 other guests (I did not know them) helped me. A security guard came to the area however did not write a report or offer much help. With that, there is not a report of my fall. My husband did see the room and it was not close to what we were expecting. It was small and very little room to move around the bed. All in all very poor. We ended up leaving and getting a refund. This resort will not be recommended by us.
- raden (10/5): - Our view from the room is so cozy and nice.
- Dan (10/5): Excellent resort choice! - All the staff were pleasant. Captain Todd a local treasure, blessed to have had time with him. Music was good. Welcoming atmosphere all around. Enjoyed an evening fire on the beach.
- Lee (6/5): - Staff was great! Cragun’s needs renovation. Buildings are very old!
- Aaron (10/5): - 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.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Very very average - This resort is very dated. Smells old. It takes a long time to get from one end of the resort to the other, therefore challenging with little ones. The morning we were going to check out they began scrapping the surface area around the pool at 7:00 am! Woke up the kids in our poolside room. We had told the kids that they could jump in the pool one more time before we departed, but didn’t realize they were going to be doing construction that morning on it. Would’ve been nice to know. Ended up with some disappointed kids. Mentioned it at checkout but was just told “that’s too bad” and they (reception staff?) weren’t aware of the resurfacing taking place. Irma’s kitchen is a very nice place to eat. Prices are a bit high. Resort is not very “accessible” for strollers wagons etc unless you are on the main walkways. Has to carry them up and down several flights of stairs. Some rooms are almost impossible to find, signage is poor in regards to this. We have come to this area for years and thought we would give this resort a try. It is a bit cheaper, but obvious reasons why. The indoor pool area’s very nice and as long as this is open, it is worth coming to. If it’s just for the sake of the outdoor pool that you’re coming, then it wouldn’t be worth it. Wish Craguns much luck in the future but major updates and cleaning need to happen, as well as the other things I mentioned. For now we will stick with Maddens or Grandview even though they are more expensive it’s worth it
- Lloyd (10/5): - Very professionally operated.
- Samantha (10/5): - Always amazing to stay at!
- Chad (8/5): - The sink drained slow and I felt water spraying my legs by sink and realized the sink had cracks in the sink bowl underneath and that’s why I kept getting wet. I miss when Dutch & Irma owned it, it felt more family friendly and it feels more business run now. I also miss the family fun pack that Dutch and Irma had so prices were more affordable to families
- Travis (8/5): - Overall good experience and fun, the guy at check in kind of put a damper on things. Seemed annoyed and not very friendly nor helpful.. came back later for questions and the director was there and was excellent. A few other run ins where the employees weren’t that great. Otherwise for the price and location it was fun
- Beverly (8/5): - We were on a top floor with twin one year olds. No elevators. Hard to get up steps. Could not use stroller. Hard to find parking near our room at times. Room was very nice and view was fantastic.
- Dennis (10/5): - Friendly Staff
- Mike (8/5): - Best staff in all areas!
- Keith (10/5): - 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.
- Alison (10/5): - We had a great time - it was so relaxing and beautiful!!
- Haley (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay at Cragun’s! The room was clean, spacious, and remodeled with a great view of the lake.
- Jiongwen (4/5): - 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.
- Timothy (10/5): - There was lots of activities available
- Syed (8/5): - Great resort Air conditioning needed some maintenance
- Kari (10/5): - 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.
- Camille (2/5): - Insect eggs and lerve on the counter in the bathroom.
- Jonathan (10/5): - Great hidden gem, great staff!
- Michael (8/5): -
- William (2/5): Unsatisfactory service - 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.
- Nicolas (10/5): - Everyone at craguns always makes us feel welcomed from check in to check out.
- Alyxandra (10/5): - Great property - we came in during the off season, but even so this place was so great. Peaceful, quiet rooms, easy to follow maps are provided at check in. The place is old school, like Dirty Dancing resort vibes and grandma chic carpet in the hall, but the rooms were updated. We loved our private patio for coffee in the morning and our cozy fireplace for relaxing. There are minor things around the property that probably should be fixed (damaged siding, pealing stain on decks, rough parking lots (my suitcase could hardly handle it)). For dinner we dined at the property at the eatery right by the lobby. Limited menu, overpriced in my option - but expected given that it's a resort. What wasn't great was our particular server. I believe he forgot to put in our order since others who ordered after got their food first, then at the end the neighboring table got a bag for their leftovers, I had the pleasure of carrying multiple containers without one and not the managers I passed or the server who helped us offered one as I struggled with the door and boxes. It put a bad enough taste in my mouth that we ate off site for breakfast. Highly recommend the property - but maybe skip their restaurants?
- Stephanie (4/5): Disappointing again - We reserved a king room and were told we could have a rollaway for our son. When we arrived, the rollaway was not there. We called three times and were assured that a rollaway was coming. After returning from the pool at 11 pm, it still was not there. We called again and were informed that a rollaway could not be brought to our room because of the stairs. Somehow, they weren’t aware of the stairs at booking or for the first three calls. We were then moved to another room with two beds at 11:30 pm. We were also told that the only other option for breakfast was to order room service, if we did not want their $19 buffet, which was no bette than free breakfasts you get at many hotels. When we tried to call room service in the morning, we were told they were not open. So much miscommunication. This is our second time attempting to stay at Craguns for an event and the second time we’ve had to move rooms. We won’t be back.
- Derek (10/5): - We love staying at Craguns and its history.
- Jim (10/5): - Everything
- Heidi (10/5): - Great facility and friendly staff. Our room could have used a vacuuming before we checked in.
- Makaya (10/5): - Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, and plenty of fun things to do!
- Dale (8/5): - 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.
- Verified traveler (10/5): 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.
- Lisa (8/5): - Bartender was exceptional.
- Anthony (2/5): Awful experience - The door to our was flush with the floor on one side, and about two inches from the floor on the other side. During the night, some drunk guests were sticking there hand into the room through this gap. The heat in our room didn’t work properly. When the heat was set at 65, the room was 76 degrees. I turned the wall thermostat down to 56, and the heat didn’t go down. We eventually had to turn the heat completely off, which isn’t ideal in Minnesota in January. The room was expensive, and would have been a miserable experience at half the price.
- Heather (10/5): 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.
- Rebecca (8/5): - The Paddle & Canoe left a lot to be dedired. Food was NOT good had to send it back.
- Sara (8/5): - Property was great, wish we got a better rundown of where things were at. Also went to the restaurant right by the lobby and the sign said wait to be seated and we stood there for 5 minutes and no one even said hi.
- Jody (10/5): - Everything has been great!
- Chanda (10/5): - 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.
- Rex (10/5): Excellent Suite Beyond Expectations! - 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!
- Hanna (4/5): - The hot tub wasn't working and floating stuff in there and dirty
- Rosemarie (10/5): - Wonderful place.
- Ronald (6/5): - I expedited some sort of dining room to be available. We were in the main lodge and the only thing was a very small and vary limited bar menu. It was bad.
- Joanne (6/5): - Beautiful lake
- Lance (8/5): - 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...
- ROBBIE (10/5): - Lights went out
- Alcy (10/5): - Love it!
- Jill (10/5): - 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!
- Beth (10/5): - Nice, old sense of the buildings and settings.
- Susan F. (10/5): - The property is very family friendly. Lots of activities for families. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The suite we had had a wonderful view of the lake but the room could use a bit of updating.
- Damian (4/5): - Restaurant was good
- Carrie (10/5): - Beautiful place
- Christine (10/5): - Front desk agent Jacob was so helpful and accommodating - gave us information to make our stay comfortable
- Josh (10/5): - We love the staff
- Doreen (10/5): - Close to basketball tournament. There were people in the hallways drunk in the middle of the night but nothing was done about it. It disturbed our families sleeping
- Patrick (8/5): - Was nice being lake side and the room ha a nice little cabin feel to it. Great rate but it was in Feb. We'll be back though!
- Michael (8/5): - 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
- H (6/5): - 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.
- Denis (10/5): - Great resort ! Will definitely come back
- Brandi (8/5): - Overall great experience. Beautiful view and great staff
- Matthew (10/5): - Great place... wife loved the old school "Dirty Dancing" vibe!!!
- Hayes (4/5): - 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.
- Gail (8/5): - 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.
- tim (10/5): - Friendly staff, large room with a nice view of the lake. Would definitely stay there again
- Susan (10/5): Weekend golf stay - 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.
- Matthew (2/5): - 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!
- Todd (10/5): - Beautiful place to bring a family.
- Patricia J (8/5): - Noisy air conditioning
- Doug (10/5): - Great staff
- Joseph (8/5): - Our room was nicely renovated. Very modern, spacious & clean.
- JEFFREY (6/5): - THE RESORT STAFF WERE VERY FREINDLY AND NICE. THE VIEW OF THE LAKE WAS BEAUTIFUL AND PEACEFUL. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS NOT GOOD ABOUT THE STAY WAS WHEN WE GOT TO OUR ROOM THERE WAS A DIRTY TOWEL IN THE BATHTUB AND HAIRS ON THE RIM OF THE TUB.
- Jeetu (10/5): - Full package this property Complete get away
- Jeff (10/5): - Great resort
- Eric (10/5): - We stayed 2 nights to play golf. The staff was very friendly and golf courses were great.
- Bonnie (10/5): - Very nice room. Very clean. Staff was nice. Did not like the 5pm check in time. Seems rather late when you have to be out at 11 am the next morning.
- Drew.Duitman (6/5): - 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.
- Lori (2/5): Craguns was awful, never going there again - 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.
- Anthony (6/5): - Too many adults there looking for a kid free weekend at a family resort. They picked the wrong resort.
- Anthony (8/5): Magnificent View - 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.
- Michelle (10/5): Updated rooms and awesome views! - 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!
- Trista (10/5): - Sidewalks needed to be salted. Very hazardous
- Andrew (4/5): - We were excited to have our first stay at Craguns Reaort. The property itself is well kept, clean and our room was beautiful. The disappointment started when we hadgone to the bar near the reception area. It was a very busy weekend with a large dart tournament being hosted and hocley tournament in town as well. There was an arguement in the bar that was allowed to escalate due to security not removing the parties that were causing the issue. As a result of the escalation the bar closed an hour and a half early. This left several people with nowhere to enjoy the rest of the evening. The second disappointment came while trying to sleep. It literally sounded like a horse stampede with loud music from midnight until 0900. At that time we were getting ready for the day to leave. Needless to say we left exhausted and disappointed.
- Megan (4/5): - I am sad this didn’t live up to expectations as we were super excited. There was a ton of mold in our room which really made my 1 year olds asthma flare up. Didn’t end up being enjoyable for anyone
- Deb (8/5): Family Weekend Winter Get A Way - Multi family get away! We enjoyed the activities planned and the suite we stayed in. Areas of the resort are dated and dusty, but rooms were very clean and updated. We appreciate the breakfast and the huge space by the pool rooms for our family to gather. We know we will use this resort as an annual gathering event.
- Athena (4/5): - They really let you do your own thing and dont have a million rules. They also have a lot of family fun events planned and alot of activities at the resort. That being said the cabin we had was to small for how many it slept. There was hardly any common space. It felt like they cut corners to save money in alot of areas and things were dirty. There was stains on our sheets, a dirty pair of underwear in our cabin. Our place was not ready at check-in. They only gave us two dish towels, one and a half rolls of toilet paper for 10 people. The dish soap was very watered down and the garbage bags were so thin they all ripped on the way out. The dring rack for the dishes was disgusting and there was no broom or vaccum in the cabin to clean up any of the crumbs or mess the kiddos made. These things made it kind of misserable to be in our cabin. The new years eve party they threw for the families however was awesome!!!
- Howard (10/5): - Traditional style.
- Brittney (6/5): - Building is really run down, long musty hallways and poorly marked signs that take you forever to get to your rooms. Clearly short on staff, poor experience all around
- Karl (10/5): Very clean and nice room - Rooms were very clean and smelled really great! We are very picky with hotel rooms because of the not so great stays in them. The room was very clean.
- Pam (4/5): - We arrived later in the evening since we had been boating all day (had rented a boat for my husband’s birthday). Check-in was fine. Arrived in room and were getting ready to go to bed and relax (watch tv, etc.) and found stains and items from clothing on bed sheets from a former guest. Called front desk to request a new room or to have sheets changed.
- Cindy (10/5): 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.
- Steven (6/5): - The lake is beautiful! We rented a pontoon boat and it was nice. Our cabin was very dated. The sports center was very dated.
- Susan (8/5): Beautiful Lake Views - This a beautiful resort with wonderful views and very helpful staff. There were bags of garbage outside our door the first day which was not pleasant. The la k of staff makes this understandable, so perhaps an anomoly
- Stephanie (4/5): - Dirty and ran down. Ceiling falling through in the hallway, tub leaking, bathroom dirty, you can smell mold everywhere…
