Bay Pointe Highlights:
- Bay Pointe offers numerous lodging options including a hotel equipped with indoor pool, an assortment of room types, 2 or 3-bedroom cottages, and a historic Boathouse Villa that accommodates 15 guests.
- The property sits on 15 acres with a variety of waterfront and wooded venue settings. Bay Pointe specializes in weddings, corporate meetings, retreats, and social celebrations year-round for up to 300 guests.
- This unique resort showcases a newly remodeled Bay Pointe Bar and Grille Restaurant that serves creative American fare and craft cocktails. The resort is also home to a variety of other indoor and outdoor bars featuring waterfront spaces.
- Although live entertainment is a year-round event at Bay Pointe, “Gun Lake Live” is a legendary summer concert series that is celebrated every Wednesday from May through September. It’s a beach BBQ vibe in the Lakefront Event Pavilion where guests arriving by boat can be valet parked at the marina to watch some of the best bands in the Midwest perform.
- Even though Bay Pointe is noted throughout the Midwest as one of “Michigan’s Top Resorts”, we are conveniently and centrally located between Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Detroit and Chicago.
