Brown Dog Inn

Brown Dog Inn offers dog boarding, daycare, and grooming on 10 private acres of nature trails and open fields in Freeport, Maine. The grounds are built around outdoor time. There is an in-ground pool with a waterfall, wooded trails, and a 25,000 square foot secure activity field that works as a private dog park.

What a stay looks like

Accommodations range from all-glass custom suites to townhouses, cottages, and crates, so dogs can be placed in whatever setup fits them. Rooms have heated tile floors, air conditioning, dog-friendly music, and LL Bean raised bedding. Playgroups are kept small and matched by size, then energy, play style, and age. Staff also run 1-on-1 nature hikes and guided enrichment sessions, which suit dogs who do better outside a group.
