You won't be "roughing it" too much. The solar cabin has two bedrooms, carpeting, indoor composting toilet, full kitchen, and a shower building.
The solar cabin offers economical, clean, private, and quiet living for the short-term vacationer.
The local newspaper, The Fairbanks Daily-News Miner, featured a story with photos (September 12, 2009) under the headline 'Sun harvest: A solar home is built in Fairbanks.' The cabin is super-insulated with 14-inch -thick walls (after all, it's just 100 miles south of the Arctic Circle).
