cabin

Rustic forest shelter

A cabin is a small, simple dwelling, typically in a rural or wilderness setting: a log cabin in the woods, a lakeside cabin.

On ships and aircraft, a cabin is an enclosed compartment—either a private room for passengers or the main interior space: first-class cabin, the pilot emerged from the cabin.

The word suggests modest, functional shelter rather than luxury.
