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.

Awesome Labor Day Weekend Getaway
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.

Beautiful house on quiet lake
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.
