heat options
Depending on how many days you need to heat, and difficulty of transporting propane, consider electric baseboard heaters. Our place on the island has electric in the bedrooms and bathrooms, and a Rennai propane heater in the main room. Electric helps get it warm faster, then the Rennai is good at maintaining.
I'd echo the insulation point. We have 4" foam panels in the roof, with only 1" panels in the wall. One thing we haven't done yet is foam insulate the floor, which will make a big difference. I'm still figuring out the best option for that. I think it will be closed cell foam, but dealing with island transport, that may make it more expensive.
