Have you ever lit candles? Scented candles get used fairly often, but when the power has gone out have had a candle lit in each room, and multiple in the living room. Nothing special about the house, and everything closed up, no door or windows open. Smoke alarms never went off. Properly made candles don't give off a lot of smoke, and what they do disperses quickly. If you are worried about smoke inhalation as a legitimate concern, then you are in a place with such bad ventilation you should be more worried about depriving yourself of oxygen during routine habitation.The mountain should have an HVAC system robust enough to handle a few candles, but enough to see well by? Among wood and linen furnishings? That's just a bit iffier. If the whole thing is concrete block and wire mold construction it's more a danger of smoke inhalation than fire.
