Tough to beat the wooden fireplace, thats for sure. We rented a cabin this weekend in Smithville TN on Center Hill Lake, just to get away. It had a gas log fireplace, not the same, but it was better than nothing. It also had a hot tub on the deck, that was the best. It was 15 degrees outside, and we were in the hot tub, which was 102 degrees :scratchhead:. Had a blast, until you get out to go in
