Backcountry Cabin STR's

So shot in the dark here but curious if anyone has any experience with backcountry cabins.  For those not familiar with these things, they are self sustained log cabins or yurts, located pretty far off the beaten path.  They typically have access by either dirt road or trail, with people carrying in all the required supplies for there stay (both winter and summer).  They are typically located on old mining claims, surrounded by national forest.  Colorado has a number of government run cabins (which get booked many months in advance) and I have stayed at a few private ones as well. Costs per night tend be pretty dang expansive.  Anyone on the forums ever invested in something similar?  I am curious to learn a bit more about these unique things.  They seem attractive in the sense that they are self sustained, required to be cleaned by guests, and very minimal/no utilities (depending on how fancy you go)
