Introducing the next release in the South Beach Collection at Cragun's Resort — a to-be-built 4-bedroom, 4-bath Hillside cabin breaking ground this Fall on the resort's South shoreline on Gull Lake. The beachside cabins are currently underway on the main resort property, with select units complete and others delivering into next year. Now the Hillside cabins open — extending South Beach's lakeside elegance across two beautifully finished levels, pairing high-end finishes with warm Northwoods character and immediate access to sand, water, and premier resort amenities. Built by W. Gohman Construction in collaboration with TWM Architecture, The Hearth Room, and Evolution Resort Real Estate, the South Beach Cabins blend modern craftsmanship with the nearly 100-year South Beach legacy. This 4-bedroom, 4-bath cabin is designed for unforgettable lake life and effortless hosting — with an open kitchen, dining and living area on the main level flowing to a covered deck, a main-level master suite, and two additional bedrooms and a loft on the upper level. Dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows framed by exposed timber open to panoramic views of Gull Lake, and a striking double-sided indoor/outdoor fireplace bridges the living room and patio. Two floors of gathering and retreat space invite connection across the home, while the layout adapts naturally to multi-generational stays and hosting with privacy built into every level. High-end finishes carry from front door to lakeside steps. Ownership is whole ownership, fee title — not a timeshare, not fractional.
