Fountain Point Resort has a beautiful setting on south Lake Leelanau, making it ideal for family gatherings or romantic getaways. The grounds are lovely, and there is plenty of room to enjoy outdoor activities. However, the accommodations leave much to be desired, particularly concerning cleanliness and maintenance. Overall, it offers a good spot for relaxation but falls short on room quality and amenities.

My experience at this resort was quite mixed. The grounds are really beautiful and the lake view is stunning, but the rooms left a lot to be desired. They were filthy, and I was quite disappointed with the lack of cleanliness and maintenance throughout the property. Given the price, I expected much better.

I had a tough experience during my stay. While the grounds and main hotel have beautiful features and the staff was friendly, the cleanliness of the rooms was unacceptable, and the lack of basic amenities made my stay uncomfortable. It's a shame because the location has a lot to offer in terms of beauty and activities.

Fountain Point Resort has a lovely, nostalgic setting alongside Lake Leelanau, perfect for family reunions or romantic getaways. The spacious grounds offer plenty of activities, but some amenities fall short for the price, with rooms lacking air conditioning and communal bathrooms being an unexpected surprise. Overall, it's a charming place filled with character, yet it may not fully meet expectations in terms of accommodations.

My recent stay at this resort was pretty disappointing overall. While the grounds are beautiful and the scenery is nice, the cleanliness and maintenance of the rooms left much to be desired. To top it off, the service was lacking, and I felt the rates were exorbitant for what we experienced. I'd recommend looking elsewhere, as I won't be returning here again.
