mountain cabin

Peak-side wooden dwelling

A mountain cabin is a small, rustic dwelling in mountainous terrain, typically used as a vacation retreat or seasonal residence.

The phrase evokes isolation, natural surroundings, and simple living—wood fires, no cell service, escape from urban life: We rented a mountain cabin for the weekend.

Some are primitive shelters; others are well-appointed getaways that retain the rustic aesthetic.
