Mountain Cabin With No Air Conditioning

[Kyler J Sloan]

How important would you say air conditioning is for a cabin in the smokey mountains if it is at a high elevation point (3700') and does not have a prior system installed? 

I would prefer to spend the 15 K it would take to install a ductless system on bathroom renovations. 

Previous owners of this place did without an air conditioner because it stays relatively cool in the summer because of the elevation.

Then again, the updated kitchen and bathrooms may be out of place in a cabin with no air conditioning from the perspective of some guests.
