About this property
Brookside Retreat
Quiet, comfortable home near lakes, the Muskegon River, ATV trails, and Newaygo County’s Dragon Trail—ideal for relaxing stays and outdoor recreation in a peaceful setting.
🍽️ Stocked kitchen
🔥 Outdoor fire pit
🛜 Fast, free internet/WiFi
🛌 Two queen sized beds
📺 Smart TV
🥩 Propane grill
🥾Close to hiking trails
🎣🦌Great for fishing and hunting trips
🚴🏻Dragon Trail nearby
Nestled in the countryside but close enough to local towns and hikes, Brookside Retreat offers the perfect balance of comfort and connection to nature.
Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend, a family getaway, or a solo retreat to reset—this is your place to pause.
I believe homes carry energy—and this one carries peace. I’ve tried to fill it with warmth, comfort, and the little things that matter: extra blankets, a stocked coffee cabinet, and a guest book where you’re invited to leave your story behind.

About the host
Hosted by Chalsea
I have been in the Newaygo area for all my life and call this place my home. I am an outdoor enthusiast and enjoy family time as much as possible. I also enjoy finding rocks on the shores of Lake MI and other beach areas.
Why they chose this property
I love that this home sits on a quiet road with a large deck and back yard.
What makes this property unique
The big back yard gives room for family games, campfires and time well spent in the outdoors.
