There is a small house on the island. The house is a well built structure that has been vacant for a while. This means you'll need to fix it up.

Your heat comes from propane or you can do some remodeling and set up a different source of heat. That will be up to you. Also, the house has 2 small kitchens. One is inside and the other is outside.
