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!

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.

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.

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!

13th anniversary ❤️

The lodge was beautiful, had a great time in the pool, the pool table was awesome. The only thing I wish was different was the hot tub the room had a musty smell and I had to shower immediately after because I smelled like mildew. The owners provided everything we needed, soap, dishwasher liquid, laundry detergent etc. I can't possibly say enough about how wonderful it was.

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!

Family Vacation

Beautiful place exactly what we were looking for, but I had a accident while I was there. I had wet feet from the hot tub on the top floor and slipped. I fell all the way down the flight of hard wooded stairs. (16 steps) I was very lucky but I did rip/tear all the tendons in my left arm. My arm is messed up for life without surgery's. There was no had rails (zero) on these steps. With no hand rails is the reason I fell all the way to the bottom. It was a long drive home with only using 1 arm. I wish when I explained this in text to the check in and out person they would of responded in a caring way. They did not even acknowledge my fall when I told them what happened.

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.

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

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.
