These were common particularly in the Anaga mountains.
Nowadays they are modernized and converted to summer or regular dwellings.

Banjosa Lake lies on the foot hills of rich pine forests of Azad Kashmir, Pakistan. Serenity and calm rule over this glade. Its' water mirrors shade with the change of colours in the sky Comfortable lodges all around the lake make it gorgeous. Can be rated as a model of paradise.
IJburg, Amsterdam, NL
In IJmeer, a lake on Amsterdam’s eastern side, the city’s new residential district IJburg is coming into being on seven artificial islands of dredged sand. When, a few decades from now, the district is complete, 45,000 city dwellers will be living here in 18,000 dwellings. In 2001, the first building was completed on Haveneiland West. The urban design scheme for these islands (2000) is based on a grid of rectangular blocks, rectilinear streets, green strips and waterways. On Kleine Rieteiland, ‘private plots’ are being built on by private individuals who are working with an architect of their choice, without a supervisory architect and without any aesthetic control by the municipal inspectorate. On Steigereiland, too, the new city district has taken shape. The urban design scheme for Steigereiland (2001) is based on the ‘collage city’ concept, which means that each of the eight neighbourhoods has been given its own individual character as far as possible. In some of the neighbourhoods on Steigereiland, space has been reserved for floating dwellings. In other neighbourhoods, as on Kleine Rieteiland, private plots have been issued and in strips 1 and 2 this has resulted in a high degree of architectural variation. The design of the public space will provide the necessary cohesion. In October 2005, the go-ahead was given for the construction of the first dwellings on Haveneiland Oost. This marks the final part of IJburg’s first phase, comprising Steigereiland, Haveneiland and the Rieteilanden.
Mesa Verde National Park is a U.S. National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Montezuma County, Colorado, United States. It is the largest archaeological preserve in the United States. The park was created in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt to protect some of the best-preserved cliff dwellings in the world, or as he said, "preserve the works of man". It is the only cultural National Park set aside by the National Park System. It occupies 81.4 square miles (211 km2) near the Four Corners and features numerous ruins of homes and villages built by the Ancient Pueblo peoples, sometimes called the Anasazi. There are over 4000 archaeological sites and over 600 cliff dwellings of the Pueblo people at the site.
The Anasazi inhabited Mesa Verde between 600 to 1300, though there is evidence they left before the start of the 15th century. They were mainly subsistence farmers, growing crops on nearby mesas. Their primary crop was corn, the major part of their diet. Men were also hunters, which further increased their food supply. The women of the Anasazi are famous for their elegant basket weaving. Anasazi pottery is as famous as their baskets; their artifacts are highly prized. The Anasazi kept no written records.
By the year 750 the people were building mesa-top villages made of adobe. In the late 1190s they began to build the cliff dwellings for which Mesa Verde is famous.
Mesa Verde is best known for cliff dwellings, which are structures built within caves and under outcroppings in cliffs — including Cliff Palace, thought to be the largest cliff dwelling in North America. The Spanish term Mesa Verde translates into English as "green table". It is considered to contain some of the most notable and best preserved archaeological sites.

More than 700 years old, the Anasazi Cliff Dwellings in Manitou Springs Colorado were home to the Anasazi and Pueblo Indians.
A ladder leading to one of the cliff dwellings on the Main Loop Trail at Bandelier National Monument near Los Alamos, New Mexico. The dwelling was cut into the volcanic tuft that makes up the cliff wall.
It didn't show up as well as I'd hoped but this one is located just south of Clarkdale, Arizona way up above the tracks of the Verde Canyon Railroad.
