cabin in woods

Secluded woodland dwelling

A cabin in the woods is a small, rustic dwelling in a remote forested area, typically used for vacations or retreats.

The phrase has become a horror trope—the isolated setting where terrible things happen to unsuspecting visitors: Every horror movie starts with teenagers heading to a cabin in the woods.

The remoteness that promises peaceful escape also means no one can hear you scream.
