pioneer cabin

Early settler's home

A pioneer cabin is a simple, rustic dwelling of the type built by early settlers, typically constructed from logs with minimal amenities.

The term evokes frontier life and westward expansion in American history.

Modern pioneer cabins may be recreational retreats or historical recreations: We stayed in a pioneer cabin with no electricity or running water.
