4. Cozy tent with wood burners and a fire pit, Barnsley (from USD 133)
This tent is the ultimate back-to-nature glamping experience. In the absence of an electric heater and kitchen with electric appliances, everything you need for heating and cooking here is done by wood-burning. The owners provide a large basket of wood to each tent, so you can heat up the wood burners in your tent to warm up the nights while you are sleeping on its super comfy beds under the warm blankets.
For a memorable experience, cook out under the open night sky over the fire pit. The campfire equipment is provided by the owners.
