neutral  xxxmediamatrix: Your answer may be 'standard' in your part of the world, but it would be totally inappropriate if the ST refers to cabañas in Chile.

  -> I agree, totally,..my option is certainly "standard", there is no country given, whether source or target... I'm very interested in knowing other target options. :) My answer would be fine for Europe.:)

holiday chalet


Explanation:
I have provided a link below to what may be the holiday accommodation you are talking about.

We use chalet a lot in the UK to describe basic self-catering holiday accommodation (please take a look at some photos in the second link), not just those typical mountain houses found in Austria and Switzerland...
