OUTSIDE THE BIG DIPPER
Be among the trees at The Big Dipper, perched high above the shore giving you the chance to feel like you're a bald eagle. The deck of The Big Dipper will serve as your basecamp for all your Voyageurs National Park adventures. Imagine your own private wood-fired hot tub overlooking the park, quiet mornings on the hammock, and afternoons listening to the waves on your own private dock.​​​
INSIDE THE BIG DIPPER
Just because you're in the woods, doesn't mean you have to sleep on the ground. Experience unbridled luxury in the middle of the forest while inside The Big Dipper. With a full modern kitchen and bath, your home base for your Voyageurs adventures provides the perfect break from all the outside action you'll get while you're here.
