We have a charcoal grill. You are welcome to use the charcoal and lighter fluid other guests have left there, or bring your own. We do not provide the charcoal.
We provide drinking water via a Primo water filter. Our whole house system is sourced by our beautiful pond with a complete whole house filtration system.

It is a personal choice to provide to guests.
