Dog Friendly Cabin

We absolutely loved our stay at the cabin! The house was incredibly cozy and had a great layout, making it perfect for our group. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the cooking utensils we needed, including plenty of plates, cups, and pots for our group of 10. We enjoyed cooking big meals like pho and spaghetti during our stay. The rooms were clean, and the beds were very comfortable. After long days of snowboarding, the hot tub was a dream come true. One of the highlights was being able to bring our dog along—he loved the house and the yard just as much as we did! Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Wonderful friend and family get together

Had a great time around the fire pit (and hot tub) with old friends and family every night. Several couples, two teenage children, and two dogs (10+2🐶). Plenty of space, had 3 extra unused bunks even. 2 full bathrooms VERY helpful as well. Thoroughly and thoughtfully stocked kitchen and bathroom. Every time we looked for something we needed, there it was! Highly recommend. The only thing I questioned was that it’s a good 30 minute drive to the more populated North Conway attractions, but I found that on those days the ride home to your quiet private cabin was actually very nice.

Family Holiday Retreat

It was a wonderful relaxing much needed time spent with my adult children. Away from all the hustle and bustle of work and it was great to be off the grid, no phones (although service was excellent) no tv (which was provided) just quality time with my grown children. We played board games and cooked great meals. jess and Kevin’s home was warm and cozy and decorated like something out of a magazine. Their kitchen was fully stocked and so was the wood supply which we appreciated because it was damp with all the rain and the fire took the chill and dampness out of the air. The cabin is located near everything including great restaurants and grocers. Jess left us a booklet filled with everything you needed to know which was so helpful. After a day of hiking we all enjoyed the Hot tub. We were very grateful we could bring our dogs , they are very well behaved because they travel with us everywhere. All in all, I cannot say enough about the Cabin, the hosts, and the the location. We have been vacationing to Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine for over 30 years and this place rates in the top 5. Thank you Jess and Kevin for the memories

Memorable week in Brownfield, Maine

We recently had the pleasure of spending a week at this delightful VRBO rental in Brownfield, Maine, and the experience left me thoroughly impressed. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charming ambiance, thoughtful amenities, and stunning surroundings that this rental had to offer. Accommodation: The rental itself was cozy yet spacious enough to accommodate a group of 12 comfortably. The interior was tastefully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Cleanliness was clearly a priority, as the space was immaculate upon arrival. Amenities: The amenities provided were nothing short of exceptional. The kitchen was fully equipped with modern appliances, making meal preparation a breeze. Additionally, the availability of a washer and dryer proved to be incredibly convenient for a week-long stay. The entertainment options were also impressive, with a range of activities such as board games, a collection of movies, and a smart TV. Location: The rental's location was truly a highlight. Nestled in the picturesque town of Brownfield, it provided a perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility. The surrounding natural beauty was simply breathtaking, with opportunities for hiking, exploring nearby lakes, and enjoying the serene countryside. Furthermore, the proximity to local attractions and charming eateries ensured that there was never a dull moment. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable getaway in a charming setting.

Wonderful and relaxing cabin in the woods!

We just returned from spending a week at the cabin. For some in our party, it was our second visit to the cabin because we loved it so much. It is very inviting and relaxing. There is a lot to do at the cabin and the surrounding area. We enjoyed walking and hiking in the area, kayaking and tubing, visiting the local eateries, and venturing to places in the state. The game room, spa, and fire pit at the cabin were the kids’ favorites. Jess and Kevin are the best hosts and responded quickly to our questions. We hope to return again soon!

Great Place to get away

The place was great! It was a good place to get away but also to travel to more populated areas. Everyone loved it. The description stated there were only 2 A/C units but when we arrived all of the upstairs bedrooms had a window unit along with the living room on the main level. This was a treat because it was quite hot and humid during our stay. They provided a book on what to see, eat, shop, etc which was quite helpful. The providers checked in with us every so often which was quite nice. We also had a flat tire and they even helped with that. Their caretaker came over and fixed it (unexpected treat).

We just returned from a fun weekend getaway here! The cabin is gorgeous - beautifully decorated and well appointed with everything you could need. The cabin easily accommodated our large family group. We enjoyed all the amenities (hot tub, air hockey, foosball). It was an easy drive to two nearby mountains for skiing and tubing. The hosts provided so much helpful information and a lovely gift basket. We had a wonderful time and hope to stay here again!

Great cabin tucked in the woods.

Our ski weekend group of 11 people stayed here for a long weekend. The owners were very friendly and easy to communicate with. They provided everything we would need and gave us access to plenty of firewood. The cabin was clean and well appointed. It had a great cozy cabin feel. The hot tub right off the deck was a blast to use. Our group of 11 did feel a bit tight when everyone was eating/cooking, but other than that it was a perfect cabin getaway!

The Black Dog Cabin stay

Our family loved staying in the Black Dog Cabin. The log home is beautiful and so cozy. After a day of skiing we enjoyed the outdoor hot tub, sitting by the wood stove in the living room and playing pool in the basement. With 5 tastefully furnished bedrooms, a large living room and an upstairs TV area there was plenary of room for everyone. The property is private yet very accessible. Jessica and Kevin were very responsive before and during our stay, and we truly appreciated the thoughtful Welcome Basket.

Everything you see and more

One of my very favorite vacation rentals... Our pre-Christmas weekend stay at the Black Dog Cabin was a charming, cozy, comfortable stay in an actual holiday card. The cabin is homey and comfortable, with so many little details that contributed to an amazing weekend. Communication with Jessica was easy and responsive and check-in so easy. We were fortunate enough to arrive on the first significant snow fall of the season (there is no better place to be snowed in..) and with no one checking-out that day, were allowed to check-in a bit early to avoid driving in the worst of the weather. It snowed so hard, we lost power (for a few seconds) with the generator kicking in immediately and everything working flawlessly (including the hot tub!!) It was pretty magical to enjoy the hot tub in the driving snow while sipping a glass of wine. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, the living areas are inviting and comfortable with cozy furniture and and soft warm throws. You cannot help but unwind and relax! Our family had an outstanding weekend, in no small part to the Black Dog cabin. I cannot recommend any higher.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica and Kevin MacDonald

Host profile image
We are a family of four from the north shore of Massachusetts. My husband and I grew up vacationing in southern Maine and enjoy all the year round fun that this area has to offer. We have a wonderful, loving, senior black dog, "Bear", that we dedicate this cabin to.

Why they chose this property

We have a large family that we enjoy vacationing with, and love hosting! This cabin allows us to do both comfortably. We have always wanted a log cabin and this cabin meets all of our "wants" - including the hot tub!

What makes this property unique

We love that the town of Brownfield, Maine is close to so much that the area has to offer within a short drive, but feels secluded and private. We have a few ski mountains within 30 minutes and several within an hour. Coming back to the cabin away from the hustle and bustle of North Conway, makes this a special relaxing place.
