timber cabin

Log-built forest dwelling

A timber cabin is a small dwelling built from wooden logs or heavy timber, typically in a rustic style.

The phrase emphasizes construction material and suggests a remote or wooded setting: They rented a timber cabin in the mountains for the weekend.

Timber cabins evoke pioneer homesteads, hunting lodges, and wilderness retreats.
