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.

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.
