80+ Beautiful Cabin Quotes To Get Away From It All

We can't get enough of these cabin quotes!

A cabin can also be called a log house, cottage, hut, home or shelter. It is a small wooden shelter in a wild or remote area, away from the city, and often amongst a mountain, greenery or other nature.

A cabin getaway is a whole lot better experience than the more common lodge tours and trips, as cabins are comparatively smaller dwellings built from logs of wood. They are made with simple tools  and without the aid of professionals, for the sole purpose of providing shelter.

This means that they are  a home built around nature, aiming to experience it at its best.

Cabin fever is a term commonly associated with cabin homes. It refers to a feeling of irritation and restlessness, experienced when one is stuck in a cabin-like space, in an isolated place.
