vacation cabin

Rustic holiday dwelling

A vacation cabin is a small house, typically rustic and in a wooded or mountainous setting, used for recreational getaways rather than permanent residence.

The term evokes log construction, lake access, and escape from urban life: We rented a vacation cabin in the Smokies.

Unlike a beach house or ski chalet, cabin suggests simplicity and proximity to nature.
