Leomund's Tiny Hut
A 10-foot-radius immobile dome of force springs into existence around and above you. The spell fails if a creature larger than you is in the area. Nine creatures of Medium size or smaller can fit inside. Creatures and objects within the dome when you cast this spell can move through it freely. All other creatures and objects are barred from passing through. The atmosphere inside is comfortable and dry, regardless of weather outside. Until the spell ends, you can command the interior to become dimly lit or dark. The dome is opaque from the outside, but transparent from inside.

Common Mistakes
Common Mistake
Thinking the Tiny Hut is indestructible (Dispel Magic removes it)
Common Mistake
Forgetting creatures inside when cast can freely pass through the dome

Common Mistake
Not realizing the caster must remain inside or the spell ends
Common Mistake
Thinking it blocks teleportation (it doesn't - enemies can teleport in)
DM Tips
DM Tip
Tiny Hut makes safe long rests almost guaranteed - plan around this at higher levels
DM Tip
Creatures inside at casting can leave and re-enter; creatures outside cannot enter at all
DM Tip
You CAN dispel it - have enemy casters use Dispel Magic for dramatic effect
DM Tip
Enemies can still surround the hut and attack when the party emerges
DM Tip
Some DMs allow attacks from inside (Crawford has given conflicting rulings) - establish house rules early
