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

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

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!

The perfect getaway!
We had the best time while visiting this beautiful home! Very clean, lots of things to do to keep the kids busy, the owners really did think of everything to have to make the stay comfortable! We even extended our stay we loved it so much. Not too far from things to do, and not too close, so still peaceful and quiet at the same time. The owner was very helpful and kind and always responsive to any questions we had. We will definitely be visiting again!! Thanks for having us!

Great place!
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. The drive to the cabin is easy with plenty of parking. We loved everything about our stay at the Big Dipper, and would stay here again & again!

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.

What a fantastic vacation!
My family and I enjoyed such a relaxing and enjoyable thanksgiving at this home. From the moment of booking up until after checkout, communication with the homeowners was so quick and clear. The home was in a quiet and safe area. It was only about 35 minutes from the gatlinburg area which allowed for plenty of entertainment when our family wanted to get out. Honestly, the home was so stocked with games, movies, fast internet, pool, and lounging areas, spending time in the home was the most enjoyable part of our vacation. The home was stocked with plenty of starter packs of cleaning items, kitchen pans, towels, it was a smooth transition. We could not recommend this home more!

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!

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!

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.
