Beautiful Gun Lake provides an incredible year-round atmosphere experience, thanks to the ever-changing seasons of West Michigan. Simple, really-it's just good food, good drink, with a view you can't beat.

We keep the party going all winter long- every Wednesday outside of Labor Day-Memorial day, join us in the Bay Pointe Bar & Grille for live jazz, vocals, piano, or guitar from some very talented musicians. And who knows? Sometimes they bring their musician friends! Cheers!

Menu is very limited. They host up to 9 weddings per weekend. The whole resort was packed with people that were not staying at resort. Not worth the money.

We had terrible service at Bay Point Inn. It took 40 minutes to get a cocktail and the waitress brought half a container of dressing for my salad and said it was the end of the container. Never brought more even though I asked for more. Didn’t have dessert and coffee because it would have taken another hour to get. I was extremely disappointed for that place.
