What is the difference between a house and a cabin?

LAST MODIFIED: February 13th, 2019

Houses and cabins aren’t mutually exclusive. This means that something can be both a house and a cabin.

A house can be defined as a building where one or more people live and a cabin is a TYPE OF HOUSE where one or more people live.

What makes a cabin a cabin is its look and location, although there are exceptions to this. A cabin is traditionally a small rustic house in the woods or near a lake.

So, all cabins are houses but not all houses are cabins. Got it?
