Built in 1908, Brooks Lodge is an historic, three-story, landmark, all seasons vacation home located on the north side of Brooks Lake in Newaygo, Michigan. Located about one hour north of Grand Rapids, Brooks Lodge offers vacationers a spacious, accommodating, and relaxing environment available by the week or for shorter term stays. Brooks Lodge is the perfect place to unwind, reconnect, and renew.

During your stay, enjoy 110 feet of sandy beach front, fishing docks, and shallow wadingarea. Grab a lounge chair and head to one of three spacious wood decks that offer panoramic lake views. Or hop on a paddle boat or canoe for a lake excursion. Enjoy your evenings around the fire pit overlooking the lake and watching the sunset.

Inside, is a fully furnished, 100+ year-old home that features a stone fireplace, hard wood floors, fully stocked kitchens, spiral staircases, ceramic tiled halls and baths, and ample living space for large groups, families, and retreats. Accommodates approximately 20-25 people. No pets or smoking, please.

Looking for a summer rental and wondering why the summer is blocked off In 2005 we started as a summer rental through word of mouth. During the summer we book Brooks Lodge by the week, not by the night. Most families are repeat guests and are booking 1-2 years in advance. Because of this, we block off the entire summer. However, as we have weeks available, we will open them up on VRBO. If you have a particular week(s) in mind, please let us know and we'll check our summer schedule to see if we can open that week and book you.

    This house was great for our family gathering. Lots of sitting rooms and the long table sat at least 20 people. Rooms & beds were comfortable and great having 4 full bathrooms when getting everyone ready. Lake was great to look at every day. Too cool to go swimming this time of year. More than enough parking and easy to find the house. Thank you for allowing us to build more family memories!

    Nice place overall, good communication with the host. The water had a sulfuric smell/taste which wasn’t ideal for showering. Drinking it ended up causing sickness, so make sure to boil any tap water. Nice lake though!

    We used all levels of balcony views. Absolutely perfect. Everyone loved each and every minute on the property. Two downsides: the water smelled like sewer and had a slick feel. We ran out of toilet tissue. This place is an A-

    We loved the large space for our group. The kitchen had everything we needed. The place has a nice beach with docks and we loved the fire pit area by the house. The host was very responsive to our questions. The only drawback was the well water which has a sulfur smell. We have booked again for next year.

    This group was made up of 7th-12th graders from our classical Christian school (and adults). Our school has a house system and has an ongoing competition, and this group of boys won! This house was selected for their retreat, and they thoroughly enjoyed the house and their time up north. The chaperones said the homeowners were easy to contact regarding access and if anything came up. Thank you for a great retreat! We would highly recommend this home for any large or small groups!!

    We had a great stay for our annual training/retreat with staff here and their other house down the street. It was clean and met all of our needs. Staff especially enjoyed the firepit on the lake. Plenty of parking.

    This property is so amazing. Absolutely beautiful place to relax after a hard day of rehearsal, and it is a great opportunity to bond with other corps members outside of our sections. It offers us a chance to get to know each other beyond the playing field.

    Our family used this house for our Christmas gathering and it was great! It’s hard to find a place that sleeps over 20 and also has lots of bedrooms. We appreciated all the dishes and cooking utensils that were on hand. It was one of the best stocked houses for cooking that I’ve stayed in. It was also great that the owners were flexible with allowing a few family members to bring their dogs along. That was greatly appreciated! Thanks for sharing the house, it’s on our list for future stays.
