Had a very good e perience in the Hip Hut. Just thought it was a solid wood structure. Though it was on a wood platform and had a front wooden facade, it is a big tent. Not probelm with getting wet from the rain, but it there was a dampness inside due to the ooen mesh on the sides of the tent. Didnt realize the toilet was separate and a walk from the hut until I got there. Only an issue when it was raining late nights. However, the tent did stay cool during the day, and there is a pretty good fan if needed. Beautiful property, wonderful hospitality. A nice introduction to off grid living. And my friend lives within walking distance, so it was a great location for me. My only issue was the toilet being a short walk away and the hut not being solid.
