BBQ instructions

I hope you are as excited about this BBQ as I am. If you just need to cook some hotdogs and hamburgers, use the gas grill on the right side. But if you are true Grill master,
Please enjoy the smoky flavor of the wood pellet grill on the left.
Please be a responsible griller and clean the grill when you’re finished.
We keep a bin of wood pellets in the play room. If the bin is empty you can purchase more pellets at Lowes or Walmart.
I have attached the instructions. Please read thru to familiarize yourself with the grill.

About the host

Host profile image
We have recently relocated from California. We bought this home to be our retirement home. But its become so popular as a vacation rental we decided to live in a deferent home.

Why they chose this property

Its all about the river front location and the surrounding gardens. The river is a mile across and smooth as glass in the mornings. and sometimes all day. There is no current, so its like a huge lake. The sunrise is incredible!

What makes this property unique

Extra large sunroom and newly remodeled kitchen. the View from all rooms is incredible. The house is very isolated from any neighbors. the Privacy is great.
