Using the outdoor fire pit
We have a creek side outdoor fire pit with a cover and 4 surrounding Adirondack chairs. We provide fire wood to get you started and it is located in a cart under the deck. There is firestarter and a lighter just inside the sliding door to the left (at the end of the kitchen counter in the little cubbies). Feel free to pick up any twigs in the yard to help get your fire started also. There is a bucket on the back porch and a water hose on the side of the house facing the fire pit. Please ensure your fire is completely extinguished and do not leave it unattended.
