We are a charming 9 acre working homestead in Eliot conveniently located 4 miles from historic Portsmouth, NH. We offer cozy accommodations, cedar soaking tub, yoga and a menagerie of animals. With 18th century charm, Shilo Farm offers comfortable accommodations with rejuvenation and convenience in mind. The feel of the home has been described as rustic elegant with an eclectic flair and our walls are filled with a unique collection of original art for inspiration and reflection. We currently have two spaces available: The Farm House and Barn Retreat. They are listed separately on the Air BNB site. The description as follows is specifically for the FARM HOUSE SUITE. ACCOMMODATIONS: The FARM HOUSE Suite is perfect for a couple, a family with children or 4 adults. The bedrooms are all located on the second floor. The master bedroom has a Queen Bed/Desk/Closet and there is an adjacent pocket bedroom with a twin daybed/desk. There is also a custom built-in alcove bed in the side hallway that houses a twin mattress as well. You have a full bath upstairs, as well as a half bath downstairs. The Farm Kitchen is custom crafted with reclaimed lumber and has a fabulous 36 inch soapstone sink and countertop. It is fully equipped for you to host a lovely dinner and is well stocked with oils, spices, drygoods. We provide a dozen of farm fresh eggs, butter, coffee, tea, and milk as well. The live-edge dining room has seating for 10 and is hand crafted out of piece of black walnut. There is ample seating in the living room, and you will be surrounded by plants that give the space a lush and organic feel. The red antique chest in the corner houses a plethora of games for all ages. HOT TUB: we have a 6 foot cedar, soaking tub available for your enjoyment! The tub is shared with other guests on the property as well as us. We request that you shower before using the tub and not wearing any lotions or oils. The tub is sanitized with a copper ionizer and is treated like a Japanese soaking tub with frequent emptying and cleaning. Quiet hours are from 9 PM to 8AM. PRICING: Our listed price is based on double occupancy. If you are traveling with additional friends, family or children, there is a $44 surcharge per guest/per night. Children under the age of 1 are free. Because we believe that sleep is one of the main pillars of health, we have invested in an AVOCADO mattress to ensure a restful and rejuvenating night of sleep. We use only ORGANIC linens and towels and non-toxic cleaners. NOTE: The home is a rambling farmhouse and shares one wall with our residence (along the stairwell) to the left and we have a longterm tenant and her sweet dog Olive residing in the unit all the way to the right (when looking at the home). IN ADDITION: Please let us know if you’ll be traveling with an additional guests or having visitors. This is important to us for the privacy and safety of ourselves (as we long-term tenant on-site) and other guests on property.
