mountain cabins

High-altitude vacation homes

Mountain cabins are small, rustic dwellings built in mountainous areas, typically used as vacation retreats or seasonal homes.

The term evokes log construction, wood-burning stoves, and simple living away from urban convenience: We rented a mountain cabin for the weekend.

They range from bare-bones shelters to luxurious getaways marketed as cabins for their woodsy aesthetic.
