The cabin was a rustic wooden structure on the Island built by Horace Goodspeed during the time of the DHARMA Initiative. The cabin has had a connection to Jacob and has appeared in different locations on the Island. Benjamin Linus brought Locke here ostensibly to meet Jacob and later, when visiting the cabin, Ilana stated that Jacob had not been there in a long time - "someone else" had been using it. The cabin was destroyed in 2007 when her group proceeded to burn it to the ground. ("The Man Behind the Curtain") ("Cabin Fever") ("The Incident, Part 1")
