Cragun’ s Resort in Brainerd has been a vacation spot on Gull Lake for 85 years. What began in 1940 as a modest lodge with a handful of rustic cabins has transformed into a full-service resort and a championship golf destination. A two-and-a-halfhour drive from the Twin Cities, Cragun’ s offers four seasons of activities along the resort’ s mile-long beach on the south shore of Gull Lake.
Recently under new ownership, Cragun’ s new owners have already completed several improvements to the property. They include the following: fully remodeled lodge guest rooms; updated cabin interiors; and refreshed common areas and meeting spaces with updated audio / video( AV) technology.
