So we learned that the cabin was originally supposed to be......

A love shack, baby, love shack....
YOU'RE WHAT?
Tin roof............... rusted!

So apparently the Dharma-ites didn't have to stay in Dharma City. They could escape the hustle and bustle of busy brain-wash city life and get away to the jungle. Is the cabin within the confines of the sonic fence, and therefore protected from smokey? Or did it matter back then because there hadn't been (let me check Darnzy's avatar) a possible catastrophic malfunction of the cerberus system?
