A remote log cabin, yet close to it all. Enjoy fishing & kayaking from the private dock! Swim at Pitt, Sylvan, & Wilford Springs (9mi), or drive to white sandy beaches with crystal clear blue water. Stroll through historic St. Andrew's Bay (10mi) or the Panama City Beach Boardwalk (24mi) & enjoy local cafes and restaurants. Explore caves at the Florida Caverns (47mi), or stay home & enjoy the game room & stargaze at night to spot the Big Dipper! This 3-bed/2-bath cabin was recently remodeled and includes all new stainless steel appliances with new wood throughout. Enjoy the natural beauty of cedar tongue and grove ceilings and walls, making this a truly spectacular experience. Rough-cut tongue and grove Cypress and Pecky Cypress can be found throughout. The Pecky Cypress was originally pulled from nearby Bear Creek. Beautifully finished vinyl plank flooring on the main level, and hardwood floors upstairs. NOTICE: The water level at Bear Creek is dependent on Deer Point Lake's winter draw-down. To control invasive vegetation in the water, Bay County begins draw-down of Deer Point Lake for the winter sometime in October and begins raising the water level in March. The photos you see were taken in April with water at normal levels. After Bay County does a draw-back, I will post a few pictures to show winter water levels. The dock outside the cabin still has water access for small boats and kayaks, it will just be shallower and the scenery changes due to lower water levels. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the bay - Near the marina - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Foosball table - Kayak - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Water skiing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,297 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108350000/108348700/108348609/8bc6ac83.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 083 Gulf Loop - 3 Bed/2 bath - Golf Cart Included - Stunning Views of St. Andrews St. Park Lower Grand Lagoon - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-25&endDate=2026-02-26&selected=108348609&PinnedHotelID=108348609&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101160000/101152200/101152121/6da61598.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Enjoy the newly renovated Home on 30A minutes from Beach, Restaurants, and Shops Rosemary Beach - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-25&endDate=2026-02-26&selected=101152121&PinnedHotelID=101152121&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/27000000/26570000/26561700/26561627/9597d80d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa De La Sirena - Seacrest with Community Pool, 6-Seater Golf Cart, 3 Bikes Seacrest - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning 9.2 Wonderful 32 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-25&endDate=2026-02-26&selected=26561627&PinnedHotelID=26561627&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91900000/91896200/91896122/ae993bac.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Prominence 30A 3BR with Golf Cart, 4 Bikes & Resort Pools Inlet beach - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 10 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-25&endDate=2026-02-26&selected=91896122&PinnedHotelID=91896122&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, DVD player, offices, printers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106850000/106846200/106846174/d67ddd7c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dolphin Days Lagoon Escape Lower Grand Lagoon - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-25&endDate=2026-02-26&selected=106846174&PinnedHotelID=106846174&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106110000/106105000/106104988/41cd2564.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Seashells & Cocktails Backyard Paradise!

Ring doorbell out front so you're aware you're being watched. Found out after booking that home is pet tolerant but not friendly, keep pets off furniture, out of bedrooms and pick up their poop or you will get fined. Master bedroom is nice, beds are very comfortable but you can hear every time someone goes up or downstairs because they all creak, and you hear every toilet flush and all conversations, plus the AC. TV only in the living room. Grass was in need of cutting so we stepped in unseen low spots often, especially a deeper one in the front. The area by the dock was very grassy and had so many lilly pads you could not launch a boat, but if you did want to you would have to drag it across the yard because you cannot park or drive in the grass out back. Not handicap friendly except for the ramp to the front door. Downstairs game room is cool. Lots of blankets and throw pillows if you like to get comfy on the floor. Nice that there was some coffee and seasonings and stuff, including dog biscuits if you bring dogs. We were not comfortable because we worried about fines if someone forgot any dishes or made a mess. Extra fees by the way if you bring pets OR KIDS. We went for a family fishing trip but couldn't even fish from the dock because the water vegetation was way thicker than the pictures. Recommend for adults only with no pets who only want to enjoy a swampy river view ##### t g. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Belinda B.

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.. ##### Gena J.

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! ##### Blake M. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2023 ---
