Recommendations For Remote Location Streaming

I have a cabin a remote area of Northeast Michigan and have no power.  The entire cabin is run off an inverter system.  I have a new ROKU TV and would like to watch TV + stream movies (Netflix, Amazon, etc.) at the cabin and trying to determine the best way to connect to the ROKU since I do not internet service.   

 

I have good cell phone coverage at the cabin (Verizon) and trying to determine if I am in need of purchasing a cellular / portable router or if I need a USB cellular modem and then a wi-fi router???

 

Any insight, suggestions, previous success stories, etc. would be very much welcomed and appreciated!

 

Thank you...

    I'd first check to see if you have enough speed. Most phones can act as a hot spot. I'd try that out first to see if the speed is fast enough for video streaming. It'd be pointless to buy a hotspot or router with integrated sim card if they couldn't provide fast enough speeds to be worth it.
