wilderness cabin

Remote forest dwelling

A wilderness cabin is a small, rustic dwelling in a remote natural setting, typically lacking modern utilities like electricity or running water.

Such cabins serve as hunting lodges, fishing retreats, or backcountry shelters: They spent a week at a wilderness cabin in Alaska.

The term emphasizes isolation and self-sufficiency—a place where civilization feels distant.
