Cragun's Resort & Hotel

Cragun's Resort & Hotel

8/10 Good
"We think the history of Cragun's is really neat. We enjoyed the views from our room and the food at Lakehouse Bar and Grill. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Due to the age and additions of the resort, it does not have the most mobility friendly environment and it was difficult for my older parents. There are many steps and levels. We also think for the price paid for a room, supplies for the "kitchen" area - such as dish soap and hand and drying towels should be provided for ALL rooms. Not just the north end. We did ask for these things and were provided with them at no charge - but they shouldn't need to be asked for. We would stay again."
