Coleman Weatherproof 4-Person Cabin Tent with Screened Porch, Screen Room Adds 35% More Space, Rainfly Included, 10-Minute Setup

I don't even know where to start with this sweet tent. First of all, I am writing this review because I was SUPER annoyed that NOBODY could give the inside dimensions of the 4 person, not including the porch. It looks like it is 7' x 8' by my measurement. from the end of the porch to the back of the tent is 7' with the width being 8'. This made it even MORE perfect as we have more room on the sides.Now, I wasn't 100% sure what to expect. This adorable little Hobbit Hole has a screened tent and one of the few where it is entirely enclosed. We have a very curious little Australian Shepherd that loves to get up close and personal with critters and often refuses to come into the tent. She just wants to sleep outside. Note that she is EXTRA fuzzy and sheds all year long and is always warm. Add to her conundrum of loving camping but being miserable that we had to jam her dog bed between the air mattress and the tent edge, she would be restless and end up kicking us out of bed. This little screen porch allows us to keep her fully enclosed while allowing her to stay cool and have her all-night-critter-stake-out.So you're thinking, whatever... you live in Arizona... How does this badboy hold up in the rain? Well, last night, an insane monsoon rolled in. We are talking high winds, crazy rain and hail, lightnings and rivers of water running under the tent. I had already emptied a can of Kiwi water repellant (the heavy duty camp one) on the rain fly and the seams so water was beading off of it. I was able to observe where water was hitting hardest during the gales. No leaks. We stayed in the tent for the worst of the wind so it wouldn't blow away, expecting the tie downs to pop out and the fly to at least do just that. Flyyyyy. Nope. After 45 minutes, boyfriend, Fuzzy Aussie and I headed up to the house and hoped for the best. It did rain throughout the night on and off. This morning, it was bone dry. I let it dry and then unzipped all the windows and sprayed another can of kiwi water proofing directly into the outside facing windows (and not through the screen) since that is where the fly doesn't really cover. We didn't have issues at all. It dries fast and odorless and it is just worth it to invest in a couple of cans of this magical spray and go to town. Massive difference.5 stars all the way. I gave a 4 for durability because despite putting a tarp underneath it, the mesh bottom for drainage has a tiny hole from a rock (which I will sew together) and one of the inside door tie-backs came off the first time I tried to snap it on. Looks like it wasn't sewn together properly. I'll sew that on and good to go. But holey schnikeys, this tent is super sweet. We upgraded the tent pegs because no offense Coleman but those janky wire looking pegs haven't impressed anyone since the 60s. Just no.Our setup:- Coleman 4 person cabin style tent with screened porch- Eurmax heavy duty tent stakes (worth the investment)- Kiwi Camp Dry Heavy Duty Water Repellant- REDCAMP Large waterproof 4 in 1 Camping Tarp (we like a tarp under the tent)Like a bloody CHARM! I couldn't get the Fuzzy Australia Shepherd OUT of the tent for a change. And the little porch is even MORE amazing than I expected.

I used this tent 5 times this summer and was fantastic each time. Good airflow and can stand up fairly comfortably. My only negative is if it rains, the rain will come in the porch area. So I bring an extra tarp to cover that now. But other models have a full cover that will probably keep it out, I chose against it not realizing the edge doesn't go over it very far. Very pleased with this. I paid close attention to how I set it up the first time with help. The second time I did it by myself in 20min. Very easy.

This is a great car camping tent! Biggest tent I've owned so far. Nice srand up height inside and on the screened in porch. Not hard to setup. Seems really well thought out and designed. I love the zip up windows for improved ventilation and viewing. A lot of companies/designs these days do away with them by using big mesh panels covered by the rain fly which makes the tent lighter simpler and cheaper to manufacturer, but much less versatile. Weathered a couple hour long overnight thunderstorm with no water inside the tent and only a little water on the porch floor. There is a drain panel between the porch floor and the main tent that keeps any water from the porch from wanting to get into the tent from that side. Would definitely recommend.

We haven't slept in it yet, but I set it up for the first time, by myself, in about 20 minutes. The screened area is generous and totally big enough for a couple full size chairs plus a cooler, etc., and the "windows" are awesome because you can see the outside even with the rainfly on and should allow for good airflow. My only complaint is that there isn't really a good place to hang a lantern or tent light in the interior, but I can live with that.The four person tent will feel like a mansion when I'm camping alone, and looks like it'll fit our two full size twin blowup mattresses when the hubs comes along. Granted it'll be a little tight, but it'll be super comfy. If we use our camp mattresses there'll be plenty of room for all our stuff.A totally rad "glamping" tent, especially when combined with our Coleman canopy.Updated - we've camped with this tent several times now. It's easy to set up and put away, our twin aero beds fit with space in between or on the sides for clothes, a stool, whatnot. I'll put a tarp over the top in cooler weather as it does not retain heat in any way (but it also cools off quick in warm weather once the sun goes down), but other than that, it's working out pretty great for us! I'd say it was a great buy overall.Updated update - we now use a couple of cots (plus mattresses) in this tent. Gives us space to store our clothes, etc in bins under the cots and we keep a small folding stool that we use as a bedside table between them.

Cute and nice tent!! First it was difficult for us to build because it was our “first time” setting up a tent like this. But when you use to it, it will be easy for you to do it 😙

Awesome tent, easy to set up one thing is it was missing the side hardware but returned old one and got a new one.

So the design of the tent is awesome. I love the open window and porch design!Sadly, the quality is very disappointing for a Coleman product :(. The tent somehow either arrived with a tear in the pole flap where you insert the pole, or I made the tear while unpacking the tent, which still shouldn't happen as I didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Also, the string things that connect the door to the side wall so the door will stay open are placed Incorrectly and don't match up.Nothing end of the world, but still pretty disappointing for $200.EDIT: Coleman support sent me out a new tent which is MUCH better! I'm not sure what happened in regards to the first one I received, but between Coleman Support and the new tent, this review increases to 5-stars and would receive my recommendation.
