Big Agnes Big House 4 Person Gold Cabin Tent Review

The Big House 4 Gold has two windows and two doors and a peak center height of 5' 0 which is a tiny bit less than the average height of the 129 different 4 person tents we have looked at. With 56 square feet of space inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 4-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, up to three other campers during the 3-seasons this tent is approved for. Smaller tents like this one can generally make an excellent choice for people who love spending loads of time outside their tent getting some air.

A nice thing about cabin tents is, that the walls are basically vertical creating a larger interior, this makes for a lot more headroom at the sides of the tent, making it feel much larger than other types of tents, most of the time, they tend to have large floor areas, so they are great for larger groups. In general cabin tents are used by people going on a camping trip in a car or a truck as they are quite heavy when compared to dome tents. This dose though make them well suited to colder nights.

Down below, you can check out a list of the tent's pros and cons.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Big House Gold can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not need to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Gives you a place to store shoes and other items that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Has Gear Loft. It is nice to see Big Agnes adding a gear loft in the interior to store some of your things.
4. Has awnings. The awnings protect the sides of the tent.
5. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is easier to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 56 square feet, the Big House 4 is smaller than quite a few of the 129 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
2. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately specifically for the Big House 4 footprint Even though the floor may be made of Polyester, it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
3. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures site the last time we checked.
4. A little heavy for backpacking. Even though the Big House 4, looks like a small tent, it is not ideal for backpacking as it weighs 8 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
5. Storage Space. because of the size of the tent, one cannot store a lot of gear inside..
