Fischerhimmel in O-H-I-O!

Unfortunately the weather was very very wet and stormy for this guest and they left early which I believe affected this review. The cabin is cedar lined and I believe that was what she was referring to as musty. There is no dampness of any kind here. Just unfortunate circumstances with the weather. I wish that Jen had reached out to me prior to leaving this review because I would have worked with her on some compensation. If they had stayed the whole time and experienced the lake and the overall property they would have given a much better review just like all the other 5 star reviews here.

All septic issues have been resolved spring 2022, there was a blockage in the outflow. If I may point by point here. The cottage was clean. First impression though was of a screen door that had a 1/2 inch gap from the door frame. It's a cabin in the woods. It's been there for over 70 years. This leads to some settling overtime. But that is the original screen door so I consider it fine and functional. In fact, I'd suggest it's a heritage item which adds to it's semi-rugged nature. Online pics displayed a fire pit, but there was no wood. Instructions said to "Forage for wood," but the yard is full of poison ivy. This is incorrect. There is wood for every guest and plenty of it. I was never asked but thought the wood was visible enough to all guests. It has been up to this point. Finally there was a note in the bathroom that said, "Don't flush if you don't have to, and limit your water usage in the sink and shower because of the old small septic tank." Call me a spoiled American, but I expect to be able to flush the toilet after each use. All septic issues and water issues have been resolved. There was a blockage in the outflow which is fixed. We did rent a pontoon boat from the marina, and spent a nice day on the lake. Good price, no security deposit, and a nice polite young man who showed me how to drive the boat, and answered my questions. I no longer rent the pontoon boat but offer complimentary kayaks. For anyone else reading this, look at the other reviews. I think that should give you a good sense of what a nice little place it is, because it is.

I appreciate the response Tracy. This is the only complaint I've had regarding this. I have put some new more advanced bioremediation products into the septic to improve water flow out of the septic. This cabin was originally built in 1960 as a weekend getaway and has an older septic system that occasionally requires some time to settle between uses. Unfortunately with the high demand on the rental and the unpredictability of guest water use sometimes it just needs a little time to settle. I had 2 groups stay after Tracy and no one had any issues. Thanks for your feedback.
