I wiki'd "cabin" for the heck of it, this is the definition it gave me  :D


Cabin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
   Look up cabin in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Cabin may refer to:
Cabin. A small, roughly built house usually with a wood exterior, lacking proper utilities, and typically found in rural areas of South Dakota. AKA a "shack".
Log cabin, a small house built from logs with basic utilities found in North Georgia.
Cottage, a dwelling, typically in a rural, or semi-rural location
Beach cabin, a small wooden shelter on the beach

Thanks Piston, all this time I thought I was living in a house, but it looks like I've got the family living in a cabin ;)

Here is one of the "cabins" at Augusta National Golf Club.  I hear they have 'lectricity AND an indoor outhouse. ;)

I have always wondered why if you built two identical buildings , one on the lake shore and one in the woods, the woods building is a cabin, the lake building is a cottage?? At least in my area that is how it is.

Camp is the word that I hear,be it in the woods or by the water. This is the camp you go to on weekends.

Dakota

That discription on Wikipedia hurt my feelings. :(  I didn't know I was building a "shack"

If it helps Dakota, you can build me a "shack" anytime, heck I'd probably call it "home"  :)

Dakota,
At least you know what your building!  I don't even know what to call my project anymore since they don't mention anything about NH.  :D

We had a shack at the deer lease, one room, propane stove, oven and lights, water from a barrel, facilities out back, but DanG big front porch.  Hurricane put a big oak through it, but we rebuilt, but it was much more of a shack.

I would not trade a million dollars for the days in that deer camp, in that shack.  Good friends, good food and drink, and peace with the world.  And we did kill a deer or two, when we were stirred up.

You all have to recon that the folks who write wickapedia live in NewYork city or some other place where they buy a set of rooms in a building that does not belong to them and has a front yard made out of concrete that they can't skin the deer on .  their block of rooms cost more than a 1000 acres in SD and more than likely it is smaller than the cottage. but feel as cramped as the "shack" .

TR, you DanG poet, you nearly brought a tear to my eye with that description.  Same for me - and the memories of all those camp buddies (including a brother) that have left this world for better places.  Ya can't replace that sort of stuff.........
RETIRED!

In South Georgia, if it's in the woods it's a cabin, if it's by the lake, it's a lakehouse, and if it's by the pond, it's a pondhouse.

There are a lot of what are called "cottages" in Lake Forest, Illinois but they are not even semi-rural by any definition.  They were where the servants lived around 1900 or so, on the land of the mansions of the wealthy.  Some of them now are worth quite a bit of money as they front on Lake Michigan.

There is a real nice log cabin house just down the street from me.  Sits on 5 acres of land, and the back yard is up against a golf course operated by the Lake County Forest Preserve District.  Based on what my lot is assessed at, that 5 acres is worth about $250,000.  And there are plenty of log cabins up in Alaska too, and I suspect after living up there that the Alaskans who live in them would be a bit testy about that definition.

 I built a lot of "Cabins" for people that were a heck of a lot bigger than my own home, and I had a pretty big house then.

Another interesting definition in Websters was "Hillbilly". It used to be a "Northern Michigan Farmer". I sold my farm, so I have no clue what I am anymore..... ;D
