- cabin
A simpler, often rougher wooden house in a forest or rural area; 'cabin' does not carry the Swiss-Alpine style or the roof-shape association that 'chalet' does.
- lodge
Usually a larger building in a wilderness or mountain area used by hunters, skiers, or travellers; 'lodge' can be made of logs or stone and is often a commercial accommodation rather than a private home.
- cottage
A small, cozy house typically in a village or countryside setting; 'cottage' is not specifically wooden or mountain-situated, and its architectural style is different.
