rustically

In pastoral fashion

Rustically means in a manner characteristic of the countryside or rural life.

It suggests simplicity, roughness, or lack of urban polish: a rustically furnished cabin, rustically charming.

The word can describe physical style—hewn beams, natural materials—or behavior that seems unsophisticated by city standards.
