Russian term

деревяшка

Russian to English Art/Literary Construction / Civil Engineering История геологоразведочной компании
Одна из наших партий находилась в деревяшках, с печным отоплением.
Есть ли в американском варианте разговорный аналог нашим российским "деревяшкам", о которых часто можно услышать в новостях, когда речь идет и жилье, или вполне можно обойтись нейтральным переводом, например, rundown wooden building?

log cabin

Not exactly the same meaning, but log cabins were built by pioneers in the westward expansion of the USA, and many still exist.

wooden building

Google image search shows a variety of wooden buildings. However, in your specific case, there may be a more specific connotation. Hence the low confidence level. Good luck!
