"My siblings meet several times a year and invite all our kids to join us for a day of fun and relaxation. Casa Dean fit our needs very well! There is a large remodeled kitchen and a huge living room. Since the weather was beautiful, we spent a lot of our time outside. There is a covered patio area with plenty of room for all of us to sit and relax. There is an updated heat and cooling system in the house. It was very easy for us to set it at a comfortable level. The host Matt, was very quick to reply to any questions I had before our stay. The home is older and we really appreciated its unique design and beautiful, extremely tall doors!"
