“Very friendly and attentive service upon check-in. Sauna and cold plunge were both very enjoyable and relaxing. The hot tub/jacuzzi was a lovely touch! Fantastic views if it’s a clear day.”

“Our experience with this is that best and beautiful view with unexpected rain but tube made us keep warm and enjoy. A staff member is very friendly to us and keeps saunas and tube warm and hot!”

“It was my first time at the Big Dipper despite living not so far from Louisburgh, and I was blown away. My partner and I couldn’t have enjoyed it more—the picturesque views paired with an ice cold plunge, relaxing jacuzzi, and serene sauna that looks out onto the landscape that looks like a painting. We can’t wait to come back again and again!”
