Maybe build in the water (lakes, ponds, etc). I'm trying to build a base on a frozen pond to see if it's worth it. Until winter is over though, the cannibals will easily just walk up to it.

The other option would be to build in the sea in which water shouldn't freeze. The only problem is getting logs there as there's no log sleds available yet and possible the lack of fresh water.

No idea, they'll jump right through tree-house walls and get stuck inside the base too

water source in the near in addition to a lot of loot spawns and bunker.
Logs to build i suggest to use zip lines.

you can place the house more into the flat water, the canibals dont demolish it, they want not wet feet ...

The only problem is unless it's the ocean, most water sources in the game will freeze over and the enemies can simply walk on the ice.

how about you don't build on cannibal spawn points

not here (i have tested 100% save in winter) - and NOT places in ocean (deep rivers are also "save")

I originally built a log cabin near a pond in my first single-player save file and the water froze over, even though the water was moving and formed a short waterfall not too far away. The cannibals and mutants had no problem walking on the ice to get me.

There is a bigger lake near me and it didn't freeze over so maybe I'll have to build there instead if I can figure out how to build on water without the swimming animation that keeps interrupting me.

I had the same issue. In my experience, there are some spots on the map that allow cannibals to spawn even if you built there. Also, it seems that Cannibals can spawn on any patch of road, so be careful not to have a road inside your base. i made this mistake and had to build around the road.

This is a general problem in many similar games - i guess there is some building in the base like in most games with an area that blocks spawns - but if your base is bigger than that they will spawn inside?

Most games that has this issue, would use lightsource or building as a way to determine where they spawn or not. So for example, if they wanted, they could make it so that you can make a safe zone by building certan objects or lightsource, to make spawning in those areas impossible.
