Ideas for building structures for cabins at Renaissance Faires

There is a strong market for lodging before a faire, be it die hard rennies, families, or handicap attendees.

But what structures works? Balance of cost, speed of construction, labor input, materials, and cooling costs for summer.

Earthbag houses are cost effective but more labor.
