First used in The Man Behind The Curtain as a way for Ben to trick John Locke, it became apparent there was an actual magical force present. Things got more complicated in Season 4 - it was home to the vision of Christian Shephard and some other mysterious being - but fans were willing to go with it.

Early on in Season 6 we got confirmation the visions of Christian Shepherd on the Island had been the smoke monster the whole time, so that means for at least half of our visits the cabin had been his home.
