A cabin is a small, simple house, often made of wood, that is typically located in rural or remote areas. It is usually built for relaxation, vacation, or as a getaway from busy city life. Cabins often have a rustic design and may include a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and one or more bedrooms. They are often found in nature settings such as forests, mountains, or lakesides, offering a peaceful and private environment. Some cabins are used year-round, while others serve as seasonal retreats.
