Wondering if anyone has ideas on an alternative to an expensive septic system. Recently called around and was getting $5k-$6K for a 2 bedroom cabin system. Just bought the place and although there is a room that will eventually be a bathroom, $5K is a little steep to spend right now on a weekend retreat. I've seen these toilets that compose under the structure but they are relatively expensive at about $3K. I know everyone will suggest an outhouse, but I was hoping for an indoor alternative. With spring fast approaching, any ideas would be welcome. Need to get the ball rolling so I'm set for the summer! Thanks!!

Check out the Nature's Head composting toilet. I used mine all last summer and was very pleased with it. There is virtually no smell. It is easy to set up and simple to maintain. The company was fabulous to deal with and the cost was about $900.00. Much cheaper than other brands I researched. Basically, I can't say enough good things about the product or the company.
Website is: www.natureshead.net

Anonymous is correct! I have seen most models in action, and used some. The abosolute best buy for simplicity, durability, and EASE of installation goes to Natures Head (R) Marine style compost toilet.
No, I don't sell them or work there, have just pooped there... 8-)

I have heard nothing but good things about Natures Head. That is what I am planning to purchase to put in my cabin soon.
