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.

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 !!

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!

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!

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.

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.

The pool was amazing, bigger than we thought:) Hot tub so relaxing, and each master has its own in room Jacuzzi and bathroom! We all felt so spoiled on this trip.

Beautiful cabin!

We loved the cabin. We didn’t realize the cabins are right next to each other. We were hoping for a little more wilderness. The only suggestion I would have for the cabin itself would be to add handrails on the stairs. The kids had a great time between the pool, theater room and hot tub!!

Great house for the family

This house is great. It has plenty of space. Our kids loved the pool and theater room. The hot tub was great as well. We enjoyed the pool table. The location is perfect for going over to the National park for hiking and not too far from Gatlinburg. We did find a wonderful breakfast place near by, Janice’s Diner. Best biscuit I ever had. Cash only but they have an ATM. We would definitely return to this cabin!

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!

Piece & Quiet

We enjoyed the off the beaten path cabin and quietness. The cabin was beautiful and had everything we needed. We were initially disappointed that there wasn’t any Mountain View because of the tree growth, but quickly lost that once we got settled. We were just 2 minutes from a Dollar General for the quick trip for thing forgotten. The private pool was an added bonus.

Wonderful For All Ages!

We had a wonderful time staying here! We had ages 50 to age 4 and everyone enjoyed this cabin. From swimming, to hot tub, to the comfy seats in the movie room it was perfect. The beds all slept so good, ac and fans kept everyone cool at night even though it was July! Jamie was wonderful helping me get the surround sound (operational error) working even though they was traveling and it was after 8:00 pm he called immediately and walked me through it. When we come back to TN I will base our trip around the availability of this cabin.

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..
