The cabin is beautiful and the location is perfect for stargazing. If you are not a heavy sleeper and value your privacy, this may not be the best choice for you due to the open layout in the loft. Overall, we had a lovely time and enjoyed our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay here, it met our needs, great for family get away, the host answered all my questions and was very helpful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Big Dipper Lodge... From the beautiful view, to the game room, to the country quiet, and the closeness of the city. It's such a cool cabin. Yes, everything is open (lofts) & noise travels, but when little ones went to bed early, we enjoyed the nighttime sounds of nature on the back porch or around the fire pit with good conversation. It forced us to slow down and be present... It's a great location to escape the hustle and bustle, but still close enough to explore the tourist hotpots of Panama City if you desire. We spent our mornings fishing off the dock (caught some delicious bass), and we had fun exploring the area. Found some great local eateries, too. Yana was great to work with; super quick to respond and everything was clear and easy with check in & out. We're already talking about our next trip!

Great place to relax. Dont expect to fish. Unless you’re a pro at getting around the lily pads or plan on going out on the kayak. But the view and relaxing vibes were awesome. The beds were nice. A nice mattress is more important to me than a recliner. So it was good to sleep in a good bed. Good overall place..
