“This is our first visit to Cragun’s Resort. The service has been excellent at the resort and the Legacy Golf Courses. Everyone is very helpful and friendly. It was a real treat to be met at your car, given a golf cart, and have your clubs put on the cart. At the end of you game, met by a friendly face and had your clubs wiped off and put in your car. This will be a memorable vacation and hopefully we’ll be back.”

“Just want to send a note of THANK YOU!!! I’m still hearing from family about how much fun they had and how wonderful Cragun’s was. Here are some of the comments: “The resort was perfect, plenty to do, big rooms, good food, and on a great lake.” “I got 3 hours of complaining how they “didn’t want to leave Minnesota” on the drive back to the Twin Cities”. “I’m now hearing talk amongst the Charlton “grapevine” that we’ve found “The Reunion Place” and that a return trip makes a lot of sense in 2-3 years.” “What an amazing vacation we had! I went to work and told everybody who even slightly inquired how MN was and told them what a terrific time we all had! Nobody could believe it! I think they all thought I would come back looking like a giant mosquito bite!” Again, thank you so much for your help and even putting up with me. I get the impression we’ll be back.”
Dick Lafean, MN
“I love it here! All of the Cragun’s employees are friendly and helpful. The food is the best! You can tell that all of the Cragun’s people value their customers. Thank you.”

We stayed there all night with the kiddos and they loved it! We visit Cragun’s every year over 4th of July, but this was our first winter trip. Loved it! Thank you!“
