Perhaps this is just terminology getting in the way of a full understanding. You DO NOT want/need a "power converter". What you want is a power plug *adapter*...which simply changes the type of socket available for use. Many cabins have 1 outlet that provides standard (for US) 110 volts. I'll take a stab and guess that you don't want to "convert" any voltages here...just provide extra outlets to plug multiple items into. A standard multi-headed extension cord/adapter provides this function. If, on the other hand...your are plugging an *adapter* into a 220 volt outlet just keep in mind that even though your sockets "look" like standard US-style sockets...they are in fact connected to 220 volts! Now, most power bricks/chargers these days are actually dual voltage devices, meaning that they can operate off of *either* 110 or 220 volts. You have to look on the individual power brick to confirm this. I carry a CPAP when I travel. There is almost always a "hidden" 220 volt socket behind one of the beds. I plug in an adapter that has both a 220 volt socket as well as a 110 volt style socket. Doing so let's me plug in whatever *was* plugged into that socket (probably one of the nightstand lamps) while also providing a socket for my CPAP. My CPAP operates with a dual voltage power brick.
