Advice on introducing cat and dog

Looking for advice here. My brother lives a couple hours away and recently adopted a cat. Pretty regularly he comes and spends weekends at our house. We have a 4 year old black lab. Our lab has never met a cat ever. She sees them through the window or on a leash and her behavior is always seeming like she wants to chase but I have no idea what she’d do when she’s around one.

My brother wants to come for Mother’s Day since my parents are living with us to help with our one month old daughter and he wants to bring his cat. He’s willing to leave her in the guest bedroom with her stuff but I’m unsure if this is fair to our dog since this is her house.

Question to the group, what’s the best way to approach this? Should they meet neutral ground (like at our parents house), is there a proper way to do this in a weekend that’s fair to the dog. I’d love for them to interact freely someday but I want to do this right.
