Beautiful lake-access home with boat slip steps away from renowned Clark Lake!

  • Welcome to Casa Viva, a stunning home with direct access to the very beautiful Clark Lake! Located just 120 yards from the renowned 580-acre all-sports lake, this retreat offers everything you need for an unforgettable getaway. We have a boat slip for those interested in renting watercraft (Eagle Point Marina is on Clark Lake, while Rob's Rentals on Devil's Lake conveniently delivers.) If you prefer to bring your own boat, a public launch is readily accessible—just give us a heads up so we can make sure everything is set for your arrival.

    Casa Viva (“Vivid House”) truly embodies its name, providing the perfect setting for your vacation getaway. With its colorful decorations and vibrant artwork, the house radiates warmth and charm, creating an inviting atmosphere for all guests.

    Step inside to a beautiful dining room featuring high ceilings, a skylight, and French doors that open to the patio. The dining table comfortably seats six, while the breakfast bar adds additional seating for three. The dining room seamlessly connects to a spacious and fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances.

    For your entertainment needs, there’s a smart TV that connects to your favorite streaming services and complimentary Wi-Fi keeps you connected throughout your stay.

    The oversized master suite offers relaxation and comfort, featuring a king-size bed, TV and two cozy sleeper chairs ideal for our younger guests. A generous closet and dresser provide ample storage for your belongings.

    Our second bedroom is equally inviting, complete with a TV, closet, dresser, and a queen-size bed.

    Both bathrooms are equipped with walk-in showers, and one includes a stackable washer/dryer for your convenience. We provide toiletries, mirrors and blow dryers.

    The expansive private backyard features a deck with a patio table, grill, and fire pit perfect for evening gatherings. A deck box filled with outdoor toys will delight our younger guests.

    The driveway accommodates three cars and guests have access to the entire property (excluding the garage and basement which is used for hosts' storage.)

    Unwind by the hosts’ lakeside in Adirondack chairs while the younger guests enjoy the beach (toys are available in the deck box). Explore the sparkling waters of Clark Lake with our kayaks, canoe, paddleboat, or paddleboard (seasonal). Life jackets in various sizes for both adults and kids are conveniently located in the deck box by the water. Our lakefront area is also accessible to guests from our two additional vacation homes.

    Need extra space for your gathering? We have two more vacation homes—Casa Calma, located next door, and Casita del Lago, situated just across the street. Whether you're seeking a relaxing getaway or an action-packed vacation, Casa Viva has everything you need for an unforgettable experience!

    ABOUT CLARK LAKE
    Have you ever visited a new place and immediately felt like you belonged? Well, that's the magic of Clark Lake for you!

    This stunning area has been a favorite spot for visitors and summer residents since the 1800s. With top-notch golf courses like the Clark Lake Golf Course and Hill’s Heart of the Lakes Golf Course, beautiful parks at each end of the lake, and mouth-watering lakeside dining options, what's not to love?

    Just minutes away is the charming town of Brooklyn, nestled between three lakes in the Irish Hills (we’re partial to Clark Lake of Course!) Brooklyn offers dining, entertainment, and a variety of unique shops, with one-of-a-kind treasures and the friendliest merchants around.

    Clark Lake is a haven for fishing enthusiasts, offering up walleye, perch, bluegill and crappies. With two public boat ramps for easy access, you'll be reeling in the big ones in no time.

    Both ends of the lake offer fantastic parks. Clark Lake County Park is at the east end and features grills, picnic areas, a playground and a swimming area. Also at the park is the Clark Lake Community Center, open to the public and perfect for hosting events. On the west end is Clark Lake Township Park which boasts a sandy beach, pavilion, picnic areas and a playground.

    For outdoor enthusiasts, the Clark Lake Spirit Trail offers a scenic 7.3 mile loop around the lake, ideal for running, walking, or cycling.

    The Gear Garage has all your Clark Lake essentials, including merchandise, ice cream and paddleboard and bicycle rentals. Swing by The Beach Bar which has some of the best pizza and homemade soups in town. Lucero’s offers excellent Mexican dishes, while The Eagles Nest has great food along with beautiful lakeside dining.

    Raft-O-Rama is a parade of decorated rafts. Every year there is a theme, and friends and family gather cardboard and sprinkle it with some serious imagination! After the parade, the place to be is Eagle Point where there is live music, activities for the kids and crowd-pleasing chicken dinners. This year’s Raft-O-Rama will take place on August 3, 2025.

    AUTUMN
    Embrace the splendor of autumn at Clark Lake! Experience nature’s vibrant transformation with a scenic kayak adventure around the lake (seasonal). The Irish Hills area brims with activities this time of year, from festivals and haunted attractions to apple picking, corn mazes, and hayrides!

    WINTERTIME
    As the temperature dips and snowflakes dance through the air, Clark Lake transforms into a picturesque winter wonderland! Engage in a variety of winter activities in The Irish Hills, including sledding at The Cascades, attending winter festivals, exploring charming shops in downtown Brooklyn, and the unique experience of dining in a cozy heated igloo! After your winter adventures, warm up at Casa Viva with cozy blankets and hot chocolate.

    CHRISTMASTIME

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!)

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.

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!!
