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.

Exceptional Stay

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. The beds were very comfortable and the home decor was amazing. Our family had a wonderful time and we will definitely be back

Just Book it already!

The pictures do not do this cabin justice! The pool is much bigger than pictures can possibly show! My husband & I, brought our three young adult children & three of their friends. The boys loved the movie theatre room & totally hogged it lol. I suggest bringing or going to the Croc outlet in nearby Sevierville, for shoes around the pool & hot tub, plus climbing the stairs from pool to hot tub. If your family uses a ton of ice like we all did, grab a bag at the close by gas stations or stores. Cosby is cozy, yet close to so many places & activities. Your hosts, Jamie & Dane, are there for your questions & concerns quickly & efficiently. I use a cane, so from a slightly handicapped perspective, this house was do-able…helped me get my steps in, too. We are manifesting a return visit, this place is all we wanted, plus so much more!

Absolutely Beautiful Smoky Mtn Getaway

The cabin was amazing! It’s just what we were looking for, close but not in the core Pigeon Forge area. Easy to getaway from the craziness. The hosts were fantastic with communication and got back to you on anything very quickly. This was the perfect place for a nice getaway!

Beautiful/ relaxing cabin

Cabin was perfect and just as described! Kids had a blast with the pool and theater room. Cabin was very clean, roomy and had a lot of essentials provided. Fully stocked kitchen, TV with Roku in every room. We really enjoyed our stay. However if you are coming down to explore gatlinburg and pigeon forge like we were, it’s quite the drive into the cities (35-45 minutes to get into town). Would recommend still; and would stay again! Perfect for bigger families, we had 8 total with plenty of room.

Perfect Getaway

This place is amazing and huge! The kids were entertained the entire time between the pool, theater, smores at the fire pit, roaming the property, soaking in the hot tub, and building forts on the bunk beds. We watched Wicked in the theater and felt like we were at the movies with the awesome sound system. The adults enjoyed poker, pool, and catching up on shows and watching football while lounging in the hot tub. We never felt like we were on top of each other. The drive to Gatlinburg is peaceful and beautiful. My only recommendation is more pool towels. We had 7 people with only 4 pool towels. Nonetheless, this was the perfect way to ring in the New Year. Until next time!

I rarely give 5 star ratings, but everything about this vacation was perfect! The beautiful cabin, the indoor pool, very efficient communication with the owner, the quiet solitude when we needed it, the reasonable drive to area attractions, etc. Most rewarding of all- each family member said they had fun and want to stay here again!

This cabin did not disappoint! We stayed in more than we went out and was not bored at all even with three teenage boys! We loved everything the cabin offered. The theater room seemed to be the most popular place to be! The cabin was clean and offered everything we needed. The hosts were easy to communicate with when needed.

Perfect weekend getaway!

Our family loved this cabin! Between the indoor pool and the movie theater we didn’t leave at all our first full day. The kids loved the area too. We took a walk one day and the surrounding woods were just beautiful. The location was ideal too. We were close enough to go to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge for some attractions but not so close that we had to deal with crazy traffic and crowds. The hosts were also super kind and dry responsive. We will definitely be back!

Family Vacation

The house is breathtaking. Very clean, comfortable, and so much fun stuff to do. There were days we just wanted to stay in and enjoy the pool, hot tub, pool table, foosball table and theater room instead of going into town. Communication with the owners was prompt and professional. I highly recommend staying here.

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..
