Enter taxi by home, a wooden hut (3,5)

I believe the answer is:

log cabin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a wooden hut' is the definition.
'log cabin' can be an answer for 'hut' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'a wooden' bit.

'enter taxi by home' is the wordplay.
'enter' becomes 'log' (log can mean to record or enter).
'taxi' becomes 'cab' (synonyms).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'log'+'cab'+'in'='LOG-CABIN'

Can you help me to learn more?

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