@Andy2474 It's possible to rent almost anything on Airbnb successfully- it's a matter of writing up your listing description so that it's extremely clear what the situation is and to market towards the type of guests who will be a good fit for the place. The last thing you want is city slickers showing up thinking a remote place will be romantic, then being horrified by the "gross" composting toilet, being shocked that they would have to pump water, and freaking out because there's no high speed Wifi and Netflix.
Definitely don't use Instant Book- guests need to send you a Booking Request so you have the opportunity to communicate with them before accepting their booking and so they can cancel penalty-free within the first 48 hours if it's not what they thought it was.
And don't have your calendar open for bookings in the winter until you get the heating situation sorted. You might want to research infrared heaters- a friend of mine uses them to heat her drafty old house in Canada. They are attractive, heat up a small space quickly, run on electricity, the unit itself doesn't get hot, so guests can't burn the place down with it.
My listing isn't exactly remote, nor is it primitive, but it's not some automatic condo, either, and guests need to walk for 20 minutes to get to town (almost none arrive by car), so I have a similar situation in that I need to attract the kind of guests who "get it". Feel free to read through my listing description (click on my photo here, then go to "see profile" and then click on the listing) to get an idea of how I market towards the guests I want and try to give an accurate picture of what to expect.
