huts
Basic rustic dwellings
Huts is the plural of hut—a small, simple dwelling or shelter, typically rough or temporary: fishermen's huts along the shore, a Quonset hut.
Hut suggests something more primitive than a cabin and less permanent than a house.
Pizza Hut notwithstanding, the word carries connotations of poverty or rusticity.
