Not mine. I was searching Air BnB and this one came up. Not only unsafe but burning with the door open as well. I can't even fathom a home owner would let weekend users use that thing.

Looks like a wall tent with a wood floor.

Not the safest, but lots of snowmobile camps around here use something similar.
 
It was a yurt. I have a similar stove for my wall tent. It will get hot enough to burn pine needles on the ground if I dont clear to soil.
 
It definitely looks like a yurt. However, that setup is a "fire ready to happen."
 
I'm gonna go with a wall tent. Yurts don't have corners and they have even height walls all around. The lack of any sort of floor protection is disturbing. - "Oh, but no one has burned down the place yet.."
