10/10 Excellent

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 The buildings are outdated but clean and well maintained.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.
Kari, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

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 The room felt a bit outdated, and the beds were too soft for comfort.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.
Jiongwen, 2-night trip

Great facility and friendly staff. Our room could have used a vacuuming before we checked in.

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.

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.

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.
