Default What' s The Best Spike Camp Set Up?

What' s the best spike camp set up?
(Clarification: a temporary camp away from the main road side camp in the heart of ones favorite hunting zone and accessible only by foot or by (1) horse.)

Early season rifle elk -- early October
Colorado @ 9,000 to 10,000'
4 to 6 people and one horse (horse stays outside but is available to carry).
There for 2 to 3 days at a time.
Storm proof with heat.

The Lighter and More Compact The Better!
Don' t want to make multiple trips in to set up or drag out.

If your answer is the default " wall tent" then what are your " minimalist tricks" to keep weight and bulk down and still keep the spike camp a decent refuge?
(poles, floors, air mattresses, stove etc.)

Hoping out of the replies someone has some really slick ideas!

Never Go Under Gunned,
