An Unplugged Adventure with Koda: Dog-Friendly Getaway to Postcard Cabins Machimoodus
Looking for the perfect dog-friendly cabin getaway on the East Coast? Meet Nicole and her pup Koda, the adorable duo behind @our.eastcoast.tails, who recently took a rejuvenating trip to Postcard Cabins Machimoodus in Moodus, Connecticut. Known for its serene forest setting and thoughtfully designed, pet-friendly cabins, Machimoodus offered the ideal place for this adventurous pair to disconnect from devices, reconnect with nature, and enjoy some much-needed downtime. We caught up with Nicole to hear all about her favorite moments from the trip, tips for traveling with a pup, and what made this cozy cabin retreat so memorable
What Postcard Cabins location did you visit, and who joined you on your getaway?
My partner, Austin, our dog Koda, and I visited Machimoodus in Moodus, CT.
What do you like best about your stay at Postcard Cabins?
Austin, Koda, and I absolutely loved how convenient the set-up is! It’s clear how thought-out the cabins are and there are so many amenities provided, especially in such a small space. I LOVED the s’mores kits! Everyone was well-spaced out so that you could have privacy, but didn’t necessarily feel like you were totally alone.
What were your favorite activities to do while you were there?
We really just wanted to go offline and enjoy each other’s company for awhile! We locked our phones away, started a campfire, made s’mores and took Koda for a nice morning walk!
What are your favorite things about being in nature?
It’s so peaceful and stress-free! We are both really busy people so it’s hard for us to truly unplug. Postcard Cabins is the perfect opportunity to do so!! You can pack light and enjoy nature without having to worry about setting up your own tent and bringing all of the gear.
Do you have any tips for traveling with pups?
When it comes to traveling with Koda, I like to overpack. You truly never know what you’re going to need so I just feel more comfortable bringing extras. We also always travel with a pet first aid kit, paw wipes, extra food, spare food and water bowls, and extra gear, such as an extra collar and leash set.
And lastly, what made this getaway special?
It truly is what you make of it! Try your best to unplug; read a book, have a glass of wine, tell stories over the campfire, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings!
Whether you’re roasting s’mores under the stars, taking a quiet morning walk through the woods, or simply enjoying the calm that comes with being off-grid, Postcard Cabins offers a peaceful escape—for both humans and their four-legged companions. As Nicole and Koda remind us, all you need for a memorable getaway is nature, a little preparation, and the willingness to slow down. If you’re dreaming of your next dog-friendly cabin trip in New England, look no further than Postcard Cabins Machimoodus, located in Moodus, CT, and a quick drive from both New York City and Boston—your cozy, cabin-in-the-woods adventure awaits.
