So is the furnished house at your location or is it in town and the person will use their vehicle and gas to get to your location 2 days a week?

If the last question, how far is the commute?

Does the furnished house come with pots/pans, dishes and bedding?

The house is furnished.

My homestead is across a tidal bay in the same city and area.
