I stayed in an unheated apartment this weekend in the mountains and it was truly cold. We ended up building a little tent over the bed with blankets. This make me realize that the curtained canopy bed may be making a comeback.

Yeah, this is miserable by modern standards, but it's not really that big a deal. Wear a ton of layers. Get a space heater or equivalent, close the door, and heat one room to something tolerable (10C/50F, say). You can do that in typical winter weather with just a few hundred watts, so even a gaming PC will probably work.

Electric heating blanket works pretty well.

Oh how I wish the Airbnb had one! We will be taking our space heater with us on trips from now on.
