Bella Vista
Fireplace
The Bella Vista home has a conventional
wood fireplace, which is a highly attractive amenity in a
vacation rental home.
We supply firewood as a courtesy; but should our
supply run out or turn out to be unusable due to the weather,
you can purchase more at the supermarkets in Gualala.
Please observe the following:
-- open vents before lighting fire (turn big iron knobs
counter-clockwise);
-- use only wood kindling,
such as you may find in a bin in the driveway, or special
fire-starters (we usually supply those as a courtesy to our
renters -- but again, if the supply has run out, you can get
them at the Surf Supermarket in Gualala); only tiny amounts
(perhaps 1 cubic-inch) of those commercial fire starters will do
the job.
-- leave a window open a bit to let fresh air in;
-- keep furniture away from the heat of the fireplace.
-- DO NOT REMOVE ASHES or partially burnt logs when you depart;
for reasons of fire safety, our housekeepers will do the fireplace
cleanup.
