Make amazing memories at the Big Dipper Lodge! 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.

GGuest UserThe hotel front desk agent tried to charge me twice for the hotel service fee. I booked through trip.com and had already paid for the hotel service fee which is $98 for 2 nights. After showing them the itemized receipt, they said it is the 3rd party service fee, not the hotel service fee. I told them I’m not paying another service fee. I’m glad I did not have to pay twice, but it was kind of ruin my day. Now there is another extra charge on my credit card placed by the hotel. I am in the process of disputing with my credit card. Overall, I like the place, but not the way they tried to charge for all these hidden or bogus fees. Note: the hotel is already expensive…

GGuest UserThe hotel and staff were top tier. The lobby and courtyard area were beautiful, with a lovely view of the beach. The courtyard has games like jumbo Jenga and checkers, and a bag toss game.The pool bar was a 10/10, food as well. Speaking of food, the complementary breakfast including cook to order omelets was AMAZING! They also give guests 2 complementary drinks during happy hour each day of your stay. The location is right next to Pier Park (5min walk), which you can spend the day at with food, shoppes, kid friendly fun and rides.

GGuest UserAn amazing stay at Home2Suites in Panama City FL! We booked a queen bedroom suite. Upon walking into the front doors to check in, a fresh ocean aroma greets you. The scent reminded me of the Polynesian resort at WDW. Everything was clean and brand new! The beds slept amazingly well and the kitchenette was so nice to have during our three day stay. Breakfast is complimentary—waffles with all the toppings you could want, sausage, omelets, cereal and oatmeal. Coffee served all day, which was a win! Overall, a ten out of ten. We will definitely be staying here again if we come back to PCity.

GGuest UserLaundry machines were all broken except for one of 5 washers. 4 dryers all broken and clearly they are not buying new ones. They don’t clean daily or take out trash so it piles up in your room unless you happen to see them near your room, then they are very helpful. The people working are all very nice. They just need better owners and management. They want to do better. Beds were very comfortable. Big suite rooms.
