Relax, youâre at the lake now. One step into this home and the fresh lake breeze and expansive views will immediately put you at peace.

Weâve lovingly owned this home for nearly 50 years and have recently remodeled and updated it. Located on one of the best spots on Brooks Lake! Light, bright and spacious with two living rooms, and two decks with stunning lake views. Private sandy beach and dock. Shallow, sandy swimming area. Boat launch nearby if you desire to bring your boat. Or rent our pontoon to cruise the lake. The charming town of Newaygo is less than ten minutes drive. Sleeps 6 privately. Central Heat/AC. Kayak. BBQ Grill. Outdoor tables/umbrellas. Parking for 4-6 vehicles. Please note: This property sets on a hillside and encompasses four levels from garage to beach. Access to each level is by stair. You cannot access the main level of the home without traveling on stairs. Sorry, not handicapped accessible.
We had a great time on the lake, the house is always clean and very inviting to guests, this is our second time staying here and we would definitely stay again in the future
There were some technical glitches with obtaining the passcode to enter, however, it was figured out within an hour and the owners were very apologetic to us. The home is great with living spaces upstairs and downstairs, and bathrooms that are spacious.
Our stay was amazing! Such a beautiful house with great views and the house was very clean. Had a couple of minor issues which the property owner resolved quickly. Terrific communication and response time. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property. My family and I had a relaxing and enjoyable vacation.
We had a lovely stay at this property - it had everything we needed for a couple relaxing days. Our kids enjoyed swimming in the shallow water and taking the kayak and paddle boat out. There was plenty of outdoor space to enjoy, and the inside was clean, nicely finished, lots of natural light with beautiful views of the lake. The lake wasn't loud or overly busy even on a mid-summer weekend. A great spot to relax. We rented their pontoon boat and really enjoyed being able to cruise around on the lake. My only note would be that it was an older boat and none of the gauges worked, so we couldn't tell if it had any gas in it at first. But it served its purpose and we had a great time!
The listing is very accurate and the owners are easy to get in contact with. There is plenty of room and the views are amazing! Definitely a wonderful beach house to stay at.
I don't even know where to begin. This place was the best place we have rented over the past 10yrs. The house is freshly painted and updated, most everything seemed new. Beds were comfortable. Towels were new and fluffy. Everything we needed was there for us with the exception of a can coozy and smores sticks. But don't worry, we left some after purchasing them at the dollar store. Not a lot to do in town but we were ok with that. Do NOT go to the little Mexican restaurant. Worst food ever! The ice cream places were yummy though! The lake was awesome! Shallow with a sandy bottom near the dock for easy swimming. We rented the pontoon and loved taking it out around the lake. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again!
We had a fabulous stay at Brooks Lake House, 3 couples for 3 nights. It had amazing lake views. Our relaxing morning coffee on the deck with the fog on top of the lake was incredible. The house was super clean, and the kitchen was fully stocked. Quality bedding, bath towels, and beach towels were provided and the beds were comfy. Ryan and Jen were quick to respond to questions. We all highly recommend staying here.
Their rental home was truly beautiful. Very nice and super clean. Lots of steps-which we knew ahead of time.
The lake was nice, not much traffic on it at all. Kids were able to tube behind our boat and we anchored and swam.
Our stay was related to fishing the nearby Muskegon River so did not use many of the properties/lake features. great place. very clean and comfortable. Beds and pillows were great. Did not use the lake but the location on the lake looks great.
Brooks Lake House is more than just a rental property... it's a very special home to Jennifer & Ryan. Jennifer grew up in Newaygo not far from Brooks Lake. Ryan grew up coming to Brooks Lake every summer, staying at this very property when it was just a quaint cottage. When they started dating in college, it was this property they came to over and over to hang out at the lake as their relationship took root.
Twenty years ago they bought Brooks Lodge (just 2 houses down) and have been hosting large groups there since that time. Now the smaller family lake home has been passed down to them. They enjoy it as their own vacation getaway, but have also opened it up to share with others who want to take some time to refresh and recharge at the lake. They love hosting people domestically and abroad and sharing this special area of the country with them. It's especially rewarding to them when they hear stories from guests who have made lifelong memories with family and friends at a place that has been so special to them all their lives. Ryan and Jennifer have lived and traveled many places over the decades, but it's true what they say.... there's no place like home.
Brooks Lake House is situated on a private drive in a quiet neighborhood with both year round and seasonal residents. Neighbors are friendly and kind. They seek to know one another and look out for each other. No matter the season, you will often find residents out for walks and getting to know one another. During the summer, the neighborhood is filled with residents, and feels active, but never busy. Fall months see a good amount of weekend activity and the fall foliage is breathtaking. Winter and spring you'll find there's more solitude. There's nothing like a silent snowfall on the lake. During this time of year round residents still hum about with their daily lives, so you never feel completely alone. Anytime of the year you need a respite, Brooks Lake House is here for you.
Brooks Lake House has one of the more expansive views of the lake. Whether you're on the sofa, enjoying coffee outside on the upper deck, or relaxing on the beach, you can't help but be engulfed in a view of water and sky that envelops you with a settling peace. Life slows down. Problems come into focus. A little time here gives clarity to what really matters in life. Yes, it's that good. Trust us, we've been spending time here for over 30 years.
