My buddy recently turned me on to Kodiak. It's my wife, our huge dog, and I. I bought the 12x12 cabin with the wood stove. Plenty of room and amazing in the cold weather. We cooked 95% of our meals on the stove while it was low 30s and raining for a week of camping in the high desert of Oregon. We stayed perfectly warm and dry. I can't speak highly enough about Kodiak!
I used the 12x12 cabin in 30mph sustained winds last week. Gusting up to 60mph, and the tent never sustained any damage. Inside the tent was definitely completely sheltered from the wind, however it was pretty noisy with the billowing of the roof and the zippers all banging around, so my sleep was not the best. I obviously had to take the chimney down as well, so I was lucky it was relatively warm that night. One other caveat is that I use 12” lag stakes, not the included Kodiak stakes.
All these nylon tent recommendations, meanwhile in 10+ years into a Kodiak canvas I can use 4 season with room and comfort to spare.
Canvas is the way to go. Worth the weight and pack size penalty for the climate control, comfort, durability, and weather protection any day
Odd ball here… I use a Kodiak tent. Heavy canvas and TALL. Pretty easy to standup. They are Expensive as hell and to heavy but the wife likes how it looks.

Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.
