Cozy Fireplace Suite

My suite had a lovely electric fireplace that added a warm touch to our stay. With a King bed and two TVs, it felt just like home. The fridge was full-size, which was great for storing snacks! Definitely enjoyed the comfort.

Endless Activities

I was thrilled with the variety of activities available, from the indoor and outdoor pools to the tennis and pickleball courts. Each day was filled with fun, and I managed to get over 10,000 steps just wandering the extensive grounds!

Fun for Kids

My kids loved the playground and the floating jungle gym in the lake! I felt great knowing they had so many options to play and explore, while I could relax watching them from the nearby sun deck.

Nice Poolside Bar

The bar by the pool was very convenient! It offered a range of drinks and the staff served me quickly. I loved enjoying a refreshing beverage while soaking in the warm sun. It enhanced our overall experience immensely!

My stay at Cragun's Resort was wonderful overall with beautiful views of Gull Lake and spacious grounds that really let me unwind. The variety of activities kept my family entertained, but I did notice some areas that could use a little improvement in terms of service speed during busy times. The New Year’s Eve party was a highlight, creating a festive atmosphere for families. It’s definitely a place I’d recommend for a family fun getaway!
