Source for Tent Cabins

05 Sep '07 from Rob Harrison AIA

Has anyone come across a company that manufactures tent cabins? I'm looking for something similar to the tent cabins now at Yosemite, or historically, the ones that became the tiny houses at various Methodist retreats, most notably Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard.

Ideally of course, made with organic canvas, FSC-certified wood frame and recycled blue-jean insulation....:-)

Thanks.

Have a look at GoYurt Shelters

Hello-

A little late on this thread, but have you seen GoYurt Shelters? We make truly portable yurts and are the only yurt company to be FSC certified. We are 100% PVC-free, and only use natural finishes. Another option to consider...

You can find out more at http://www.GoYurt.com

thanks!

I've always been partial to the dome. This one is particularly economical and portable:

Or a Yurt?

I just found these recently.

They're out of stock right now -- but they look like they'd be fantastic.
