Fire place in an AIRBNB

[William Arrington]

The current home I am working on has a Wood stove and wanted to know if this has ever caused an issue with one of your properties.  The one that is there is kind of ugly and I was originally going to replace it with an electric unit which would take me a few hours to fabricate but the more I thought about it... the more I think I should replace it with a more aesthetic unit instead that burns wood.  You are in the mountains after all.  If I post clear instructions on the mantle on how to use it and the front glass face closes and locks do you think i could get away with this or should I just swap it out for electric which doesn't have the same appeal?    Getting close to being done with this unit (my kitchen was on backorder for 4 months so I've been eating the mortgage) and just need some advice to push me over the finish line

Many guests want a real fire. I have a cabin in Gatlinburg that does outstanding, in part because it has a real, wood- burning fireplace.

Electric fireplaces have their place, but they are fake.  They are heaters with some flame effect that is cheesy at best.  

There is not a surcharge on insurance if you have a wood burner.  That is a misnomer.
