Book taxi home for cottage in wood?

Ross

I believe the answer is:

log cabin

'cottage in wood?' is the definition.

'book taxi home' is the wordplay.
'book' becomes 'log'.
'taxi' becomes 'cab' ('cab' can be a synonym of 'taxi').
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'log'+'cab'+'in'='LOG-CABIN'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for log cabin that I've seen before include "Pioneer's hut" , "Small wooden house" , "Wooden home" , "Simple dwelling" , "Hut, as in the Wild West" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
