For a lot of your appliances you can use 12 volt RV replacement ones. Like an RV fridge. You can use 120 volt appliances, but if you do you will loose a lot of power just through the conversion process of converting the 12 volt battery power over to 120 volt. You can buy coffee pots, electric frying pans, heaters, vacuums, refrigerators, hair dryers, and fans amongst other things that are all ran off of 12 volt DC power.
Personally, I would add a big 250 gallon propane tank outside of the cabin to run a stove and a Dearborn heater off of. I put this in a 600 square foot cabin that I lived in for a while and could run for 3 weeks off of one bar-b-que size propane tank in the winter time so imagine how long a 250 gallon tank would last!!!
If you were to install a metal roof, you could also install a rain gutter setup and run those rain gutters into a couple of 250 gallon water tanks! Add a 12 volt Surflow RV water pump and now you would have pressurized water for the entire cabin. You would just need to filter it before using it for drinking water.
