Welcome to the “BIG Dipper”. This massive, 4,500 square foot, 3 floor lakeside cabin on the Norris Lake shoreline offers cathedral ceilings, huge kitchen and formal dining room overlooking a large TV room, providing the ultimate entertainment for an extra-large group of friends and family.

The Big Dipper features oak and pine from floor to ceiling! 18 foot, 20 person, Amish custom built dining room table!

With 9 bedrooms (4 Master Suites), 7 full bathrooms, this spectacular home provides 10 sleeping quarters for up to 32 people. Couples will appreciate the lake views that each of the 4 Master Suites offer.

Located on the Main Level (street level), the extra large open kitchen is well equipped for crowds with a canopy vented 5 burner gas cook top, 2 wall ovens, microwave, extra large refrigerator, 2 dishwashers, and 3 food pantries. The extra large 7 seat island bar is equally suited for entertaining as it is for whipping up huge meals for the hungry group. We provide free propane for the large grill.

Saving the best for last- Four decks overlook the swimming cove of Norris Lake’s Cedar Creek. No worries of speeding boat traffic. Have fun on your own personal dock that accommodates your boats and jet skis. The covered boats slips are 10'x24' and high enough for pontoons. See below for rental options.

Our stay at the Big Dipper. We had a group of adults mainly over 50. We visit a new place every year always on Norris Lake because it is so beautiful. The Big Dipper definitely has some bumps and bruises so if you are looking for luxury this is probably not your best bet. The kitchen is fully stocked. The only thing we couldn't find was a strainer. The beds are comfortable. There is plenty of room for everyone. The steps even though there are a lot was really not a strugle, we all managed them well. The slide and the two floor dock was exceptional. That is where we spent the majority of our time and boy was it great. Weather was bad one day but with the pool table, tv's and hot tub we were fine. We did play a couple games as well. You would need to bring your own. If you are looking for a great time on the water this will not disappoint. Great food, great friends and a great place to stay.

Great house and dock. Our kids loved swimming in the lake.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2023
The house is large and supported our group for a recent family gathering but found having a hot water shower a challenge. We could only ever use one shower. For a house that advertises sleeping 30 people this was extremely difficult. The property manager is aware and very responsive, however according to them this is by design due to the tankless water heater. Also the bed linens, mattresses, and towel should have been replaced years ago with pilling, holes, and poor quality overall.
