I never knew we could put small sweet, and rustic in the same sentence, but here we are. This Jasper, Alberta cabin is exactly that, and I can’t find any other words for it. The classical log design with perfectly tinted wood and a wrap-around porch is a picture-perfect cabin that reminds me of fairytales, and that story about Heidi. All that’s missing are goats and the cabin being high up in the mountains. The rustic feel is increased with the stone chimney that signals us (pun intended) there’s a nice fireplace inside, perfect for long winter nights.

Equip your cabin or second home with these must-have off-grid appliances, ideal for making "roughing it" just a little more comfortable. The post 9 Must-Have Off-Grid Appliances for Your Cabin appeared first on Family Handyman. If you’re thinking about building an off-grid second home or cabin as a rustic getaway, you probably don’t expect it to have all the comforts of your primary home. But, living off-grid doesn’t mean you have to give up every modern convenience. A number of different power sources permit you to run basic household appliances without having to connect to a municipal power grid. Practical power sources for off-grid appliances include: Gas-powered generator. This power source may be the simplest option, but gas-powered generators are noisy and they smell bad. They also emit carbon monoxide, so make sure there’s no way the fumes can enter your home. And, make sure you don’t run out of gas! Propane tank. Propane is a good option when renewable sources (like sun or wind) let you down or aren’t viable in your location. If you’ll be relying on propane, you can have a stationary tank installed and filled by a propane delivery service. If you don’t have a stationary tank, you’ll have to haul heavy portable tanks back and forth. Solar panels. If your cabin is in a spot that gets a lot of sun, solar power might be your solution. The size of the photovoltaic system you need depends on how many kilowatts you require. The initial cost is high but afterward, solar is a green, virtually cost-free solution. Hydroelectric power. If you’ve got some fast-moving water with sufficient “head” (vertical drop) on your property, you may be able to harness some of that energy to create hydroelectric power — not unlike old-fashioned watermills. Like solar, a hydroelectric system can be a big investment, but it allows you to store energy for when you need it. Wind turbine. If your rural getaway is in a windy location, a wind turbine system is another green option — although also costly at the outset. According to the U.S. Department of Energy’s website, a turbine needs an average annual wind speed of 9 mph for a turbine to be a practical option for your home. Wind also needs to be “clean” for a turbine to work, with the air moving in a fairly consistent direction. “Dirty wind” moves erratically in multiple directions and doesn’t work well for harnessing electricity. Are you familiar with home wind turbines? Solar, hydroelectric and wind-generated power is stored in batteries to which off-grid appliances can be connected.
