Lushna Villa Cabin For Glamping

There’s no shortage of scenic places to go glamping, for sure. However, if you’re aching to venture into the woods, you’ll find the Lushna Villa Cabin a perfect place of respite. It’s a minimalist reprieve from the bustling metropolis. And glamping-ready, no less.

These pyramid-shaped structures come from Lushna, which designs and builds the shelters personally. You can put it on your property and start a sophisticated camp ground of your own. Or you can even start a glamping hotel. However, that depends on how much money you have, of course. If neither appeals to you, just make it for personal use.

Lushna’s eco resort concept features sustainably designed structures made from eco-friendly materials. As a result, the Lushna Villa Cabin isn’t just an awe-striking beauty, it’s also a responsibly made structure. Each is built on top of a concrete-free Ground Screw Foundation. Moreover, the construction grows from refined principles of traditional building techniques married with newer types of manufacturing. The result is a staycation shelter with enough flair to hover near avant garde.

More importantly, the shelter consists 100% of larch word and features insulation and heating for year round usage. Inside, you’ll find a king-size bed, an integrated ventilation system, lighting and AC/DC plug-ins, heating, and other furniture. Turn to one side and you’ll enjoy a panoramic view of the lush greenery outside. That’s thanks to the picture window overlooking the picturesque outdoors.

If a villa doesn’t tickle your fancy, Lushna also makes luxury tents, wooden eco chalets, pods, cabins, and even saunas. Hit the link below for more information.

Tree Tents Fuselage Wilderness Cabin

The concept behind the Tree Tents Fuselage Wilderness Cabin is to bring lightweight and portable mini-shelters even at the most remote locations around the planet.

Small homes are all the rage these days, not only because do they look so gosh darn cute, but they’re also marvels of engineering and design. Seriously, it’s probably harder to design a small home than a big one. For Tree Tents, though, it’s not just about size.

Tiny as it is, each Fuselage Wilderness Cabin boasts a stellar design language that makes it perfect for the outdoors. The cylindrical exterior, for instance, borrows heavily from modern aerospace design. The cabin is made to be mounted on stilts or suspended from trees, as well. This allows the cabin to adapt to any landscape with little to no disruption.

Inside, you’ll find birch-lined interiors with only several essentials. There are bunk beds, a dining space that can turn into an additional bed if needed, and others. The flooring features marine-grade plywood, and looking up, you’ll see double glazed windows welcoming natural light in. All this contained by a fully insulated aluminum shell.

Note that each cabin is made to order. You’ll have a number of options for customization. If you want solar panels, that’s possible. Want to add in a wood-burning stove? You can do that, as well. What if you want to throw in a kitchenette? No biggie.

It takes Tree Tents about six to eight weeks to ship out the cabin in a prefabricated and flat-packed package. The company says installation is no sweat. You’ll have the quaint, cozy, and charming little abode fully set up in as little as two days.

Vertex Double Hammock Tent

Touted as “the only camping hammock that sleeps two occupants comfortably,” the Vertex Double Hammock Tent lets you share the rest nest with that special friend. Since it supports up to 700 lbs of weight, it’s safe to assume you can even squeeze a third friend in there…

Fitted with a patented independent suspension for each of its two beds, so when you move you don’t bother the other, the tent lets you sleep comfortably (if you’re shorter than 75 inches) and won’t tip you out. A breathable WeatherShield offers privacy and warmth inside, while an ample storage compartment can hold backpacks and other gear.

The 3-season hammock also features flexible poles that give ample head room while making it easy to transform into a ground tent. The complete package weighs 5 lbs 1 oz and comes with all bed ropes attached, poles and stuff sack but doesn’t include the Vertex Rain Tarp which can be bought separately.

Nesty Roof-Top Tent

Inspired by the iconic VW Westy camper van, the Nesty by Reform Life is an ultra-low profile, premium roof tent that promises to transform any vehicle into a comfortable home on wheels.

The tent has a sturdy aluminum base and is made from breathable poly-cotton ripstop fabric. It weighs 110 lb, can hold up to 660 lb, and it folds into a slim 8″ package (which is said to be 33%-46% slimmer–thus more aerodynamic–than other soft roof tents).

When opened, the Nesty can sleep up to three people on its integrated foam mattress, while a 420 D polyester removable rain fly keeps its occupants dry in case the weather takes a turn. By draping down or rolling up its side rainfly, the tent can adapt depending on the weather.

The Nesty is complete with all the essentials including a ladder, external D-rings for hanging your gear, a skylight panel, mesh windows on every wall, internal storage pockets, and even integrated twinkle lights. For every tent sold, 14 trees will be planted to help reforest the startup’s home state of California.

Preorder from Kickstarter $1,450

Aquaforno II Multipurpose Outdoor Cooking Stove

Since 2011, the folks at Aquaforno have been making award-winning telescopic multi-stoves that use wood, charcoal or gas. Their latest “kitchen in a backpack” is the Aquaforno II, a multipurpose outdoor cooking stove that doubles as a grill, pizza oven, smoker, brazier, and even water boiler.

The beautifully crafted portable stove is made of 430 stainless steel and features a base that sits on adjustable tripod legs and works as a standalone grill, boiler, and fire pit. The second section allows you to raise the grill for frying food in a pan or wok, while the enclosing top section is an oven with a baking stone, insulated lid & thermometer, with plenty of space for cooking a casserole or a whole chicken.

Assembling the Aquaforno II is super easy and requires no tools, however, the whole thing weighs a considerable 44 lb so you’d better use a vehicle to haul this bad boy to the camping spot.

Kombuis Outdoor Cooking Set

The Kombius is a compact, no-frills outdoor cooking set that includes a pan, a pot/carry container, and a stove that burns sticks, twigs and other biofuels.

Constructed of stainless steel, the set weighs in at a mere 1 kg (2,2 lbs), has a height of 16 cm (6,3 in), and a width of 12 cm (4,7 in). The cleverly designed stove features an insulating double wall that allows for more hot air to go out the top and for more oxygen to flow into the stove for sustained combustion. The feeding chamber is set at a 45° angle, which means easy refueling even while cooking and a minimum amount of effort from your side to keep the stove burning.
