Owner is great!
I had a question about checking in and the owner was prompt! Only downfall is you can shower here or brush your teeth unless you want to smell like 4 year old eggs! Last comment is it needs a deep clean.

From the Owner: "We do inform all guests in advance that the property is serviced by a well, and we recommend bringing bottled water for drinking. Please note that the well water is tested regularly and meets or exceeds the standards set by the Ohio EPA. We take water safety seriously and appreciate your understanding."
Kitchen and dishes were filthy and had some kind of gunk in the sink/glasses. Dirty balcony and sheets.

Photos are deceiving...
Location on the lake was great! But, the pictures are deceiving. This condo is smaller than what we thought it was going to be. The balcony needs to be cleaned! There was a birds nest in the corner of the door that looked to be knocked down just prior to our stay and the bird poop was just swept away with a broom. You could still see where each the poop splattered on the concrete. Dirty sock in the pull out couch and a left behind used toothbrush in the bathroom. All around it was a "good enough" place but our expectations were higher.
