You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beautiful Clarklake home with lake access just steps from the lake!

Casa Viva is a beautiful home with lake-access. This home is just 120 yards from renowned Clarklake, a 580-acre all-sports lake. Docking space is available if you'd like to rent watercraft (Eagle Point Marina is on Clarklake, and Rob's Rentals is on Devil's Lake and delivers) A public boat launch is available if you'd prefer to bring your own watercraft. (please let us know in advance for either option.)

Casa Viva ("Vivid House") is the perfect place for your vacation getaway and certainly lives up to its name. The colorful decor and vibrant artwork brightens the house and makes for a very inviting atmosphere.

Our kitchen opens up to a beautiful dining room with high ceilings, a skylight and French doors that lead to the patio. The dining table seats six, with additional seating for three at the breakfast bar.

There is a smart TV for all your streaming needs, as well as complimentary WIFI.

One of the bedrooms is an oversized master suite with a tv, king bed and two sleeper chairs to provide additional sleeping space (the sleeper chairs are better suited for our younger guests.) There is a spacious closet and dresser with plenty of room for your belongings.

The second bedroom also has a tv, closet, dresser and queen size bed (guests rave about our mattresses!)

Both bathrooms have walk-in showers, with one of them containing a stackable washer/dryer. We supply toiletries and blow dryers.

Large private backyard with deck, patio table, grill and fire pit. There is a deck box full of outdoor toys for our younger guests.

Guests have access to the entire property (excluding the garage and basement which is used for hosts' storage)

The driveway can accommodate two cars.

Relax along the hosts' lakeside in Adirondack chairs while our younger guests enjoy the beach (toys located in the deck box.) Explore beautiful Clarklake on our kayaks (five adult and two kids), canoe, paddleboat or paddleboard (seasonal.) Life jackets (assorted sizes for adults and kids) are located in the deck box by the water. Our lakefront is also offered to guests from our other two vacation homes.

AUTUMN
Celebrate autumn in all it's glory at Clarklake! Experience the explosion of colors with a kayak trip around Clarklake (seasonal.) The Irish Hills has so much to offer this time of year from festivals and haunted houses to apple picking, corn mazes and hayrides!

WINTERTIME
As the temperature cools and snowflakes flutter to the ground, Clarklake becomes a winter wonderland! There are many wintertime activities to enjoy in The Irish Hills. Go sledding at The Cascades, attend a winter festival, visit the quaint shops in downtown Brooklyn and have dinner in a heated igloo! After your winter adventures, warm up at Casa Viva with cozy blankets and hot chocolate.

CHRISTMASTIME
Celebrate the holidays at Casa Viva! The moment you enter the house you'll feel the holiday magic. From beautiful decorations and flameless candles to a gorgeous tree, you're sure to get into the holiday spirit!

Need additional space? We have two more vacation homes (Casa Calma is next door and Casita del Lago is across the street.)

Annual Girl's Getaway
The cottage was perfect for our getaway weekend. It was clean and well stocked. The location was convenient to all places we wanted to visit. The owners have put together a very detailed binder with maps, cottage instructions, local restaurants and activities available in the area. Megan, one of the owners, is responsible for the amazing artwork throughout the house. Megan and Rob were very responsive to all questions prior to our stay. Thank you for sharing your house with us. It was exactly what we needed for our weekend. If available, we will definitely rent this again.

Great stay at Clarklake!
My partner, brother & I stayed at Rob & Megan's property for a week, visiting family in the area. The cottage is well appointed with kitchen, W/D, outdoor area, etc. It was clean, well-cared for. (Nice artistic touches, courtesy of Megan.) A short walk to the water and short drive to groceries/restaurants in the Jackson area. We had a good stay and would do so again! (Thank you Rob & Megan!)

Wonderful weekend!
This was our first time at Clarklake and it won’t be our last! The lake and surrounding area are beautiful. It was peaceful and comfortable and just lovely. Our hosts have done an amazing job of the house and properties they own and maintain! The beds were so comfortable, the furniture was as well. I loved the artwork!! Some of it has been made by the owner, Megan. It’s so pretty and there’s one piece I wouldn’t mind owning. We even had a sweet calico cat adopt us- she was so tame and let us pet her and would talk to us. I can’t wait to come back for a longer stay!!
