Special Care In Planning Our Event
"As a planner of many events, your coordinating staff made my job much easier. With their knowledge and experience, we were able to save time and money. They took special care in planning our event as if it was their own. They listened to our special needs and exceeded our expectation. Your meeting, exhibit space, and sleeping accommodations are large and spacious."

Amazing Place For A Wedding Reception
"It was an amazing place for a wedding reception. Enjoyed the happy hour on the deck. Then a wonderful meal in the dining room and then a great party in the reception hall. Cragun's terrific facility made for a memorable time attending a wedding reception there. Staff was extremely helpful with whatever need came up throughout our time at Craguns. Thank you!"

Irma's Kitchen Food Was Excellent
"Irma's Kitchen food was excellent so fresh and original. Ate a meal there and went back for dessert. We have been coming up to the resort for 30 + years and always find it so friendly and relaxing. Staff great throughout the years. View is beautiful."

Favorite Golf Destination
"Well deserving of its 5-star rating. My favorite golf destination in Minnesota and the friendly staff always makes us feel welcome. I organize group golf trips and they are the best facility to work with that I have found."

A Wonderful Family Vacation
"We enjoyed all of the organized entertainment that was provided for our Summer Getaway… pontoon rides, trolley ride, wild animal show, magic show, bonfire and movie on the beach. The kids attended Camp and enjoyed it. We mainly interacted with the staff at the Marina and they were great. Thank you for a wonderful family vacation."
Kevin Kelley, Bloomington, MN
Wonderful Resort for Families with Small Children
"What a wonderful resort for families with small children. The playground on the beach was just what the kids needed! Shallow clear water, pontoons for our family to go for a ride, horse drawn trolleys! This place is a families dream!"
Mike Engelmann, Mankato, MN
A Wonderful Memory
"We recently had our daughter's wedding reception at the Legacy. We want to thank you so much and tell you how pleased we were with everything. Your staff coordinated everything for us. We didn't have to worry about a thing. We have heard so many positive comments about the food, the setting and how everything just flowed. The day is a wonderful memory and everyone had a great time."

Wedding Ceremony & Reception A Smashing Success

Now it's Our Family Tradition
"It was the first year our 4-year-old could attend Camp Cragun's and he loved it. We didn't know if he would stay there without us, but by the end he didn't want to leave! He's excited to go there again on our next trip. We started going to Cragun's each year starting when our first son was 9 months old. Now it's our family tradition."
Robert Kirchberg, Woodbury, MN
Beautiful Views of Gull Lake

Even the iconic Dutch Cragun greeted us!
"We had a really nice dining experience at Irma's kitchen. The food was tasty and appealing to the eye. The view overlooking Gull Lake is beautiful. Even the iconic Dutch Cragun greeted us at our table and inquired about our meal. Dutch…thanks for Knuckles and the Squirrel. We will visit again."
