I don't know what the conditions are at your cabin, but you might want to consider a basic old mechanical machine. Most of the newer machines have computer chips that are susceptible to power surges such as lightning storms or recovery from power failures or generators kicking in. Mechanical machines will normally survive those conditions. I have a 1935 Singer Model 15 that has survived many power surges, but since I got it I have turned it back into a treadle so when the lightning storm starts I unplug my computer machines and keep sewing on the treadle machine. I think I'm actually loving it more than the expensive computer machines.
