Dog-Friendly 5 Bedroom Log Cabin with Hot Tub in the Heart of Southern Maine

Welcome to the Black Dog Cabin: A beautifully appointed, Maine-sourced and Maine-built 5-bedroom log cabin in the heart of all that southern Maine has to offer.

Located on 5 acres in a quiet association with a private access trail to the Saco River, the Black Dog Cabin is within walking distance to one of the cleanest swimming areas in the state - with river-tubing fun and downhill skiing just around the corner. The quaint town of Brownfield, Maine is home to spectacular hiking trails, beautiful lakes and ponds, The Stone Mountain Arts Center and a handful of great restaurants. Both North Conway, NH and Bridgton, Maine are a short 20-25 minute drive away, and Sebago Lake is just about 30 minutes - making Brownfield a perfect centralized location for year-round enjoyment.
There is plenty of space for the family and the dog(s) at the Black Dog Cabin, with 5 bedrooms to sleep 13 comfortably. Come home from a day of skiing or hiking to a soak in our new hot tub; Enjoy outdoor relaxation on the large farmer's porch; grill up your dinner and relax on the expansive deck, play pickle ball in the large back yard or pull up a custom Adirondack chair in front of the fire pit.

Indoors on the first floor you'll find a large family room with a wood burning stove and custom-made wood furniture. The first floor includes a fully stocked kitchen, a dining area, a queen size bedroom, a full bathroom, AC, and a large mudroom.

Head on upstairs to a small tv loft area - perfect for the kids’ video games. Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis included, along with plenty of books and board games. A second full bathroom and four additional bedrooms complete the second floor - all with individual AC units: 2 queen size bedrooms, 1 bedroom with 2 twin beds and 1 bunk room with 2 sets of bunk beds and 1 twin bed.

Our whole-house generator ensures that inclement New England weather will not disrupt your stay in the cabin. Our entry and driveway cameras ensure that the cabin and your safety is top priority.

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).

Great winter getaway
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!

We really enjoyed our time last weekend at this amazing home! Our family loved the cozy woodstove and the hot tub was the perfect way to relax after a day of playing in the snow. Jess and Kevin were such gracious hosts and went above and beyond with their communication and attention to detail.

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. The Black Dog Cabin is one of our favorite places we’ve ever stayed in and are very grateful that we were able to rent it. We hope to return.

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.

HS Class of ‘86 mini Reunion
A bit of a spur of the moment plan to get our group of 10-12 High School friends together for a weekend. This Cabin was perfect. We mainly wanted to hang around the fire, tell old stories, eat good food, and laugh. We did all that in spades, and even worked in a Kayak trip on the Saco. Great property that I would highly recommend.

Even better than it sounds!
The rental process was easy from start to finish. The owner was quick to respond to questions, both before our stay and during it. She also provided us with a lot of information about things to do in the area. Everyone in our group-ages 11-50s loved the cabin and enjoyed the area. The cabin was super clean and well stocked with bed linens, towels, paper products, soaps, etc. It made things easier for our three families because we were able to pack lighter than we have for other vacations. We enjoyed our trips from Portland to North Conway and a few things in between. We also easily kept ourselves entertained around the cabin with the game room, fire pit, and hot tub. Tubing on the river nearby was also lots of fun-we loved being able to go on our own. Our only regret is we did not book 2 weeks!
