As you enter the main floor, a spiral staircase leads to the second floor and a formal dining room with a beautiful cherry dining set greets you. The kitchen is right off the dining room, providing convenience and plenty of counter space for preparing meals. A small table with seating for 4 overlooks the lake in the breakfast nook.

  Beautiful home! Relaxing atmosphere

  Left on 11/26/2012 for a stay in October 2012
  
  

  We were only at Dean Lake House for two nights, but would love to have stayed longer! The house itself is beautifully appointed, very comfortable, and we loved the old-fashioned kind of atmosphere, although the furnishings and appliances, etc., are very up-to-date and the decor is very nice. The only disappointment was that the train schedule was posted on the refrigerator and the train never came while we were there, although the schedule said it came by every day! We really enjoyed our stay there and would definitely go again.
