Family

The good times start on a reversible par 3 course, designed for family golfing, and continue on Gull Lake, in the indoor sports centre and indoor and outdoor pools. Mom and dad can enjoy Gull Lake Spa or the two "adult" 18-hole golf courses, while kids' and teens' programs provide entertainment for the younger set.

Fishing

Great fish stories are spun on Gull Lake - chock full of northern, bass, walleye and panfish - and other legendary lakes in the area. Begin yours on one of Cragun's fully guided fishing trips, led by anglers with 30+ years of guiding experience. Or, just rent a boat from the marina and embark on your own fishing adventure.

Golf

Both of Cragun’s 18-hole Legacy courses were awarded Golf Digest’s 2008-2009 “Best Places to Play” with a 5-Star rating awarded to the Dutch Legacy and a 4 1/2-Star awarded to Bobby’s Legacy. Only 23 other courses in the USA received this prestigious 5-Star honor.

Lake

A full-service marina offers ski boats, pontoons, fish & game licenses and anything else your water-loving heart desires. Guided fishing trips show you the ropes of Gull Lake's legendary waters and with a half-mile sandy beach to boot, Cragun's proudly plays host to "more fun on the water."

Romantic

A Romantic Getaway Package is a special occasion neither of you will forget. A room with a wood burning fireplace overlooking Gull Lake is just the beginning. Add dinner for two, a bottle of wine, cocktails in the Bear Lounge and horse-drawn trolley rides and you'll be batting your eyes at each other all weekend long.

Spa

The Gull Lake Spa will put you into full relaxation mode. Eight treatment rooms offer a range of services, including hot stone massage, body buffing and manicures. Make "spa day" one to remember for the whole family. Now your younger crew can come along, too, and enjoy the special set of services offered in the Kids' Spa.

Vacation Rental

Whether you're visiting for a quiet vacation or a lively reunion, Cragun's has accommodations to suit you. One- to five-bedroom cabins are comfortable getaways for families of all sizes. The Oaks Reunion House, built for group events, includes a kitchen, sleeping, dining and sitting areas, plus ping-pong and pool tables.

Cabins And Cottages

Lakeside Minnesota cabins are a great place to begin building forever memories. In a park-like setting with a playground, grills and on or near the sandy beach, cabins are fully furnished and most have full kitchens. Balconies and patios overlooking Gull Lake ensure you'll never lose sight of what you came for.
