This is our cabin that we purchased 5yrs ago in Labrador,Canada it is located on Shabogamo lake. You can only reach our place by boat in the summer months and snow mobile during the winter and it is about 4o miles from town.
Finally we have arrived.

Very nice location.
Very good shower system I have to admit. I'm planning on getting something like that soon.
Any more pictures?

I've got a 40 gallon barrel (blue ones) that I use for water and I've also got it gigged up for water in the kitchen with wall switch in cabin, all runs on a battery with solar. I still need to box everything in so you dont see it and its set up with screws to take it all apart when we leave (cold weather), got around $250.00 in it.

How has your Triton shower unit held up for you? I have been thinking of one for my cabin as well.

Good to hear. Since that photo was taken, have you enclosed it or made any other upgrades? How long does a tank of propane last?
Nice place by the way.

It's a never ending job at the cabin. Where still on the same tank, surprising how long it last with my wife and I plus when her family comes with the kids. When we take a shower its not a long one but its not a short one either. Her uncle has a cabin a little ways down from us he got one this summer he wanted to see how ours done. We usually stay about 3 weeks at the cabin and when we leave I run RV anti freeze through it and the pump and accumulator and take it down for the winter. Hooked it up to run into the cabin kitchen sink so the wife can have hot water for the dishes. I've got it where I can take it apart in sections with screws so it can be easily put back.

Between you and the people that have that cool place in Alaska, I can't take it any more! Stop showing pictures of places I can never live in! We are in Southern Ontario and have nothing to look at. Sure, we have some Great Lakes but nothing like this. I'll have to get my wife to travel East and see if I can get her to retire in that area a few weeks per year. Anyway, nice cabin, and beach, and shower, and fresh air, and blue sky, and clear lake water, and ............ damn it.

Thanks for the kind words from ya all. Hey Morgan we bought this place about 6 years ago he was asking $10,000.00 CA than he went down to $5000,00 will we settle for $4500.00 With the exchange rate we paid $3500.00 US. Plus the fee to transfer and our Crown rent a year is $100.00 CA. My wife is a Newfie and her family lives up here in Labrador and we still live in Indiana.

Nice purchase price! The place is stunning! I'm going to have to do some looking around, we fell in love with Newfoundland a couple of years ago and tried driving through Quebec towards your place but it is one heck of a drive. We'll get there yet, simply beautiful country you have there!

Prices have gone up since then  But you can still find a good deal now and then. We paid $20,000 for our land, but we own it out right. Now another $50,000 or so and we have a year round home on the lake 10 mins from town and work. Best of both worlds for under $100,000 
House prices here have sky-rocketed to over $300,000 starting price upto and including $500,000 plus. So resale out of town on a large private lot these days goes for anywhere around $80,000 to $150,000++
Gotta love mining towns!
