Marmot Guest House 6 Person Dome Tent Review

The Guest House 6 has four doors and a peak center height of 6' 4, which is a tiny bit smaller than the average height of the 107 various 6 person tents we have examined With 129 square feet of space inside, it is significantly larger than some other 6-person tents, and it easily offers enough room for you and, up to five other campers during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, larger tents similar to this one often can make a really good choice for people that enjoy having loads of space inside their tent for sleeping and hanging out.

A few of the cool things about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part lightweight, making them simple to carry around. In near all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very simple to set up. In good weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most common of all the various types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to do better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the water pooling on the roof. The most straightforward dome tent should have a square floor, sloped walls a couple of poles which cross in the center of the roof. Because of their construction, it is typically considered that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 campers.Lot’s of dome tents have more than just one room to stay in, just like the Marmot Guest House two-room tent

Below you can see a list of the tent's strongest and weakest points.

PROS

2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Affords you somewhere to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge plus.
3. Internal storage. It is nice to see Marmot has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your stuff.
4. Has a screened area. Having a screened area that is separated from the main body of the tent is a huge plus.
5. Has awnings. The awnings shelter the walls of the tent.
6. More than one room. The Guest House comes with two rooms, allowing for extra privacy. Perfect for a large family and groups who do not want to be all sleeping together.
7. Removable divider. For those who want to maximize all of the available space that the Guest House provides, the divider can be detached to have one large room for everyone to share.
8. More than one door. With 4 doors, it is easier to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
9. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is 70d 100% Polyester Taffeta F/R, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to rips and punctures. Also, the material has a 2000 mm waterproofing rating, which is pretty good for most circumstances.
10. Breathable. The Guest House's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the summer.
11. Other sizes are available. Marmot has also made this model available in Other Sizes.

CONS

1. No windows. With no windows it is not simple to keep the tent ventilated on a hot summers night.
2. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 70d 100% Polyester Taffeta F/R but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
3. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many things to rave about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
