Do you allow real (wood) fires in fireplaces at STRs?
In the process of purchasing a log-cabin in a National Park that has several nice fireplaces. Curious whether people allow fires, and also whether they provide firewood.

@Dave Stokley people who are renting a rustic cabin with wood fireplaces are going to expect to be able to use them. Just keep the they chimney cleaned and well maintained. Fires are the result of lack of maintenance more than misuse. Also be aware the type of wood you burn will affect how clean it burns. This could be a good reason to provide wood so you control what get's burned.
@Paul Sandhu some pallets have insect treatment that release toxic chemicals when burned and they are stamped MB, so I wouldn't stand too close to the fire if they are burning that type of pallet.
