I've long been a fan of wood smoke and cabins. They're common in Minnesota, particularly in the far NE and NW. Nothing quite as inducive to feeling safe and secure as a good fire in your cabin when is -30 degrees or so outside.
I do remember those mosquitoes though, not not all that fondly. they'd come out in hordes about mid-June and wax and wane over the weeks until the first week or so in September. Not one of my more pleasant memories of Minnesota.
