Big Dipper

My family and I stayed a week in the house and it was great. It was large and offered all of us with enough space. The home was clean and had everything we needed for the week. We would certainly consider staying here again.

Great relaxing stay!

The cabin was great and the location was perfect. Far enough away from the touristy stuff to be peaceful, but close enough to pop over for dinner/shopping. Super close to the national park entrance and some great hiking. The only constructive feedback I have is just to update the cookware in the kitchen.

Everything you want in a cabin in the woods.

Great cabin, had so much to do we hardly left to explore. When you do leave you are close enough to Gatlinburg that it is not a pain to drive and far enough away to where you don’t deal with all the people. Host was great, cabin was easy to get into and everything was clean.

The Big Dipper Lodge is a truly beautiful property. It’s even better in person than in the photos! The property is private, surrounded by nature. You can’t really see the neighbors! The entire process was incredibly easy. Jamie and Dane are wonderful hosts! They went out of their way to help me when I had communication issues. We hope to go back !!

Great stay!

Everything was great! We had no major issues with this cabin and the stay! Everything was accurate as posted. We loved the pool and theater room the most. The hot tub room itself is located on 3rd floor which made it hard to stay very long. We did enjoy it but somehow needs more air flow. 10/10

Stunning cabin. Tranquil location. Superb host. My family had a wonderful time, we could have spent the whole trip just enjoying all this cabin had to offer. Ranging in age from 66 to 6 we all loved this cabin. The pool was clean and refreshing. The whole place was exceptionally clean and came with everything we needed from comfy beds to paper towels. There is a Dollar General super close and convenient. Check in and out was a breeze. It was away from crowds but close enough to hit the attractions in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg every day. 10/10 I would recommend and stay again. If I could change one thing about our stay I would have booked more days.

We had an exceptional experience. Owners were great with communication and the house was very nicely stocked with everything we needed. The home was just as described, super clean, tons of activities to do inside from the large indoor pool to the hot tub and the theater room as well as all the games and billiard table.

I am a licensed Texas attorney, Dane has sold chemical and process treatment to Texas refineries for many years. I love cooking, baking and getting together with family and grand babies, gardening and genealogy. Dane loves sports especially golf. We both love East Tennessee with its incomparable beauty and incredibly gracious and kind locals.

Why they chose this property

This property is a great place for a memorable vacation. If you enjoy hiking, we are 7/10 of mile to the Cosby Smoky Mountain Park entrance. There are local diners to try in nearby Newport and Cosby. You can get fresh produce and local honey at Carvers Apple Orchard. Cabin is in a quiet rural area, but with amazing mountain views driving in. No steep roads. Dipper is in an upscale resort and has wonderful amenities. How many area cabins have an indoor pool, hot tub in crows nest with views, luxury comfort and amazing spacious theater? We hope you enjoy Big Dipper as much as we have. So many options to keep you having fun..and isn't that what vacations are all about?

What makes this property unique

No steep drive. City treated water with no water quality problems that properties with wells have ..like low water pressure. On acreage. Indoor heated pool. Firepit. Upscale theater room. Close to National Park entrance..convenient to Gatlinburg..20 miles to Dollywood..
