Our stay at Shilo Farms was so relaxing! Jonas and Amylyn made check in extremely easy. The farmhouse was very clean and had great, cozy vibes for our weekend away. Kittery and Portsmouth are only 10-15 minutes away which made exploring, eating, and relaxing very easy.

Shilo Farm is a charming farm property. It is definitely a place to go if you wish to relax and take in some nature! It is also only minutes from Kittery and Portsmouth which gives you 2 great options for dining. Another positive was the yoga classes and farm store onsite. The unit we stayed in was decorated beautifully and the hosts Jonas and Amylyn were lovely. Just one note - the unit did not have a microwave, dishwasher or TV so you may want to take that into consideration in planning your meals and evenings. We will definitely consider this property on our next trip!

Lovely farmhouse stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shilo Farms - our host was great and responsive to our needs. We had fresh eggs every morning, we joined their yoga session one morning, the goats were fun to feed. Our farmhouse was comfortable and beautifully designed. Liked all the eco-friendly touches. Enjoyed the serenity of the property.

Mom’s 80th birthday girls trip

We spent a week touring Cape Cod and the Portsmouth, NH area. We spent 2 nights at Shilo Farm and wished we’d stayed there the whole week! The accommodations are even better than advertised and Amylyn and Jonah are phenomenal hosts! We loved the goats, chickens, cats and dogs. We cannot say enough great things about this magical place. Can’t wait to go back! Thank you for such a lovely experience. ❤️

We didn't want to leave!

Loved our stay at the Farmhouse. Owners were responsive to any questions we had. Check-in was simple. Quiet, peaceful area. Interior was very nice. Bathroom upstairs with the shower was a bit small, but adequate for our needs. We were there during the heatwave, so the AC struggled to keep it cool upstairs one night, but there was a fan in one of the bedrooms to assist with air movement. Overall loved our stay and the owners. We did not want to leave!

Exceeded all expectations!

I booked a weekend at Shilo Farm hoping for a relaxing spot to celebrate a birthday. I was blown away! Not only is the farm even more beautiful in person, but the hosts were beyond considerate and accommodating. Our room was clean, comfortable and tastefully furnished, the grounds are well cared for, and the hosts answered every question and helped us feed the goats and chickens. Every bit as beautiful as the photos and then some. A paradise stay if you are coming to Portsmouth.

Rest and Relaxation Abound

My husband and I were looking for the perfect spot to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. As the parents of 2 young kids, we wanted a place that was relaxing and tranquil with the option to go out and enjoy dinner, shopping, etc. This spot was absolutely PERFECT for that! The owners were very communicative and helpful throughout the check in process and the Farmhouse and surrounding grounds were beautiful. Everything was clean and the kitchen was stocked with all of the essentials. We spent plenty of time hanging out and relaxing (and enjoying the lovely soaking tub) but also ventured out to Portsmouth which was only a little over 10 mins away. I also did a drop in yoga class which was a perfect way to recharge before heading back to our busy reality.

A Time of Tranquility

My adult daughter and I had a wonderful time staying in the Nest Abode at Shilo Farm. Amylyn and Jonas are outstanding hosts who truly care about the world and its people and also about their guests. The apartment was immaculate. the beds were very comfortable and the fresh eggs for breakfast were delicious. We both loved the friendly goats, cats and Sasha the dog. The chickens have the best chicken-life that we have ever seen and were fascinating to watch. We walked the property, watched the sunset from the deck and enjoyed the swings. My daughter took two yoga classes with Jonas which she found to be excellent and ended the stay by "running with the goats", a totally new experience. A stay at Shilo Farm is truly a time of tranquilty.

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. The ole farm feeling brought back a lot of good memories. Here is a few suggestions. The doors are very squeaky and need WD40. The plants in the front window or the fruit has fruit flys. I was in the big bedroom upstairs The electric plug under the blue painting, the top blog is the only one that works.
