It's kind of her summer guest cabin, but I would rather stay there when I go up because the main house is dogsville. I will only be sleeping there, but can't use anything at all that requires electricity. There is no wood stove or fire place. I've heard of tent heaters - what do they cost and how long do they last?

People have died using tent heaters - read warnings on them - and the headaches are symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Any type of heater that burns a fuel and dumps the combustion byproducts into an enclosed space may create carbon monoxide. That includes any portable propane or kerosene heaters. Your best bet is to take some "hot shots" pocket and boot warmers and lots of blankets

Get a kero heater its portable and puts out alot of heat saftey is not a problem if you follow instuctions and you can get a good one for 100. to 120 at wallmart or any such store,runs on kerosene and will burn 12 hrs. to a tank full. The only bad thig is when you light it or turn it off it gives off a smell of kero

There are many options out there. Do not use catalitic heaters, they give most people bad headaches.
There are many propane heaters. Make sure you get one that has an auto shutoff in case of low oxygen, good idea for safety.
Propane burns clean and even adds moisture to the air. Leave a window cracked for fresh air.

Hire a generator, site it away from the cabin,in a protected spot. then use this to run an electric heater.

You also need to be careful of fire. You can find several different types of heaters with a wide range of pricing.

Buy a Genrator, then you can use a heater. Everybody should own one.
