" ... It is well made and the screened in porch is great so you can take off any dirty or muddy items before getting into the tent. ... "
" ... Love that it has the front vestibule, really helps with taking off shoes and keeping the inside of the tent clean. ... I highly recommend spraying some lavender or bug repelling spray near the openings and that really helped us. ... "
