In the northeast US we have something similar called Adirondack shelters. The fire pit is outside the shelter, though. As usual, the Scandinavian version is better.
They do vary in quality between locations. The Appalachian trail shelter outside of Springfield Massachusetts is definitely better than the one the local high school kids use to drink beer, which is very much like the one pictured.
I've never used these in the Adirondacks, but instead tented near them.
