My stay at Cragun's Resort was enjoyable overall, thanks to the variety of activities available and the beautiful setting near Gull Lake. The rooms were comfortable, and there was plenty of space for families to gather. However, some amenities could use improvements to enhance the overall experience. While it's a great place for a getaway, I found the dining options limited and the common areas could be more inviting.
