If you want rustic, you’ll need to decide if you want a “catered” rustic experience, with outfitters and guides providing gear, meals, and possibly transportation. A nice option for many is a rustic cabin with the essentials or a B&B in a natural setting. Some introverts prefer an outdoor “room” under the stars and others prefer a cushy bed with books strewn about. If you want something different, rent a tree house, houseboat, or yurt—the modern version of the nomadic tent.
