winter cabin

Cold-weather getaway home

A winter cabin is a small dwelling designed or used for cold-weather retreats, typically in remote or mountainous settings.

The term evokes rustic shelter amid snow—wood fires, isolation, and escape from everyday life: We rented a winter cabin in the Rockies.

Unlike summer cabins, winter cabins emphasize insulation and heating capacity.
