The cabin where we stay during our winter adventures is off-grid, which means no electricity and no running water. It's very cosy, with wood-fired heaters and a proper kitchen that runs on gas. Water is collected in a stream nearby, and the "bath tub" is an ice hole and sauna combo.
As a cabin host, you’re the master of ambiance, making sure the cabin stays cosy. You pull firewood on a sled from the shed, keep the fires going so that the cabin stays warm, light up the lanterns, collect water, and fire up the sauna. You're also there to assist with cooking, and tidying to keep the place clean and organized. In between trips (the new guests arrive the next day), you help the guides turning around the equipment. e.g. hanging up tents and clothing to dry. The woman who owns the cabin comes over to change linens and deep-clean.
It’s an unpaid position with food and board with spare time to do your own thing, while still making sure to keep everything running with spurts of more intense work. You can also come along for a winter camping expedition and some day trips if you like. There is also lots of gear around for your own explorations.
