Usage Note
Cabaña refers to a simple rural dwelling — a log cabin, a shepherd's hut, or a rustic cottage. In livestock terminology, la cabaña ganadera (national livestock herd) is a common collective term, quite different from the 'small building' sense. Learners should be aware of this specialised agricultural usage when reading Spanish news.
Examples
"Alquilamos una cabaña en el bosque para el fin de semana."
