My mother-in-law has a weekend getaway type cabin in the mountains, well off the beaten path. Sometime over the past few weeks, someone broke into it by smashing in a window. This happens every few years (so far).
My question is this, what are some effective methods of securing a place like this? The lane has 2 locked gates, but 4-wheelers can get around that easily. Others have suggested an alarm system, but the first thing they did was cut the phone lines...and its not like anyone could respond to the location in time to do anything. I'm leaning towards roll up security doors that would appear "unobtrusive" (moreso than bars over the windows)...she doesn't want to ruin the "feel" of being out in the country...but this could get old real quick...

suggestions appreciated!
