Let me begin by saying that this add-on vestibule takes an average tent and makes it great. Why they didn't make it standard (other than the price point) is surprising.

With the constant threat of rain we face in the NW, it is very nice having a place to store any unused equipment, dog kennels, day packs, bikes etc. It's no secret, the coverage of the Big House rain fly is disappointing at best. Rain will leak in when you open the doors so to have a dry room to put on boots and rain gear without tracking mud into the sleeping area is fantastic.

In my opinion the vestibule takes the Big House tent from a 3 to a 4.5. I will update this later with more specifics, but if you already own a Big House tent try it out.
