I know the feeling too well. Before I sold my business and retired I would pack up all my paperwork and my computer and cell phone(s)and lug them up to the cabin.
Of course the computer didn't work at the cabin so I had to go to town some 10 miles away to use the library's free wi-fi.
Of course there was no cell phone service in the town where I used the library's free wi-fi so I had to carefully document any phone calling I wanted to do and wait until we got back to the cabin to use the cell phone.
Then I had to determine which of the 2 phones I had was working better on that particular day in order to make my calls. I had Verizon and AT&T phones and there were towers for both within a few miles but neither was terribly reliable.
Then a customer had a question or a problem. Yeah, this is the cabin where the computer didn't work. So it was back to use the free wi-fi at the library in town.
Then I thought I'd get smart and I bought 2 different computer air cards to use with the almost cell signal at the cabin. Whoopee! I could have used a carrier pigeon for faster service.
You talk about going to the cabin to relax? Yeah, that experience gives a whole new meaning to this 
...and to this 
People ask me why I retired. HA!
