Summary: The property is on a well with a very strong sulfuric/mineral odor. This was not communicated to us until a couple days before checkin. Had we known about this issue, we wouldnt have stayed here. You cant cook with the water. Also the unit is pet friendly, which is fine and we knew about this, but the living area and two of the bedrooms were teaming with fleas.
