Place is lovely, clean, close to a nice beach and checking in and out was easy. The picture accompanying the vrbo listing is inaccurate. It shows an isolated property but the house is closely packed in among several houses.

Perfect family vacation spot
Shiloh was the perfect place for my family’s annual trip. It fit three generations of us (22 in all from age 75 to 5 months) comfortably and provided the perfect setting for us all to hang out, cook, eat, play in the lake, be active, play taboo - all the things you’d want to do on a family trip. The house is beautiful and laid out in such a way that it brings everyone together to the central common spaces. The beach is perfect and the back deck was amazing for grilling and hanging out! We loved it!

Birthday Celebration/ Family Weekend
Our family rented this house for 4 or 5 summers 15+ years ago. When I saw it on VRBO, I decided that I wanted my whole family to gather there to celebrate my 75th birthday and to reminisce about our previous vacations there. We were not disappointed. There were 23 of us for 3 nights. We all fit comfortably. The renovations to the kitchen and bathrooms were a big improvement! The addition of bunk beds to the bedrooms was a plus. Even though it rained most of the weekend, the teenagers still swam in the lake. The house is spacious enough that there were lots of spaces for everyone to be comfortable. This place is a little piece of heaven!

Great for a large group
We stayed here for a joint bachelor/bachelorette party with a group of 18 of us. We weren’t sure about the bedroom situation because it wasn’t totally clear each was pictured, but all 6 bedrooms are essentially identical, the only difference is two of the bedrooms have a single bed in addition to the queen and the other four have a bunk bed. The en suite for each bedroom is also the same. We didn’t find issues with hot water/water pressure for such a large group either. The house was perfect for our group gathering and they had tons and tons of kitchen items, plenty for everyone to use. The views are beautiful and we had a great time on the lake. Would highly recommend for other group gatherings. Our only small complaint is that there are two seating areas, so it wasn’t easily possible for everyone to hang out indoors together. That was okay because we were mostly outside but in bad or colder weather, it would be nice to have an arm chair or two for a little more comfy indoor seating.

The best weekend on Sebago Lake!
We hosted my sister’s bachelorette party for the weekend here and we can’t thank James and M enough - their home was perfect for our group and right on the lake. There was plenty of space both indoors and outdoors, the kitchen was well equipped and the house was perfect. We can’t wait to come back again soon.

Unbelievable Bachelorette Weekend
Words cannot describe the property and experience we had here on Sebago Lake. The location is a slice of paradise, just steps from a sandy beach and a scenic view of the lake from the deck. The owners were exceptional at accommodations and coordinating local food, liquor and flower vendors; working closely with my sister to plan the entire weekend. Flexible with early check in to allow for set up prior to my arrival and even some live music at sunset on our last evening. I only have spectacular things to say about our stay here and have shared the listing with everyone I know looking for a large friend or family group vacation. You cannot beat 7 bathrooms! Looking forward to the next time we can stay here! Sarah

Amazing Summer Stay
Shiloh Villa is a fantastic place for family, friends, and children of all ages to enjoy a beautiful lake front experience. The house is well equipped inside for entertaining and the outside offers all the amenities to enjoy the water while relaxing with a great view. The thing most appealing for me was the kids could be in the water and adults easily watch them from the beach area or the deck that is literally touching the beach. James and M were so responsive and helpful. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a wonderful lakefront vacation! Brian

Fabulous experience in a gorgeous location
I can’t say enough to accurately describe how much we loved staying at the Shiloh villa. We had 18 people total and had more than enough space despite it raining part of the time. The rooms were comfortable and 7 bathrooms makes a large group do-able. It’s location right on the water is stunning, the neighbors are friendly and the owners are super responsive and welcoming. I was there with a group of friends and I can’t wait to return in the future, both with them as well as with my family.

Family Vacation A Huge Success
We have been doing family vacations with our extended family for several years now. Our four adult daughters with their young families look forward to our annual vacation together with all 17 of us. Shiloh Villa is a new rental house for us this year, 2019. As with all things new purchased online sight unseen, we were hopeful but cautious as to how the property would work out for our needs. Well in a word, Shiloh villa as well as the owners, James and Mary, exceeded and then some all our expectations and dreams. Shiloh Villa is located right on the western shore of Sebago Lake. We started our day getting up early with the young grandchildren and enjoying a brilliant and beautiful sunrise coming up over the eastern hills and lake to start our day enjoying this beauty with a nice cup of coffee. The villa has six suites that have plenty of sleeping capacity and full baths for each of our daughter's own families. We spent our days swimming, kayaking, boating, and fishing right off the beach right in front of the villa. During nap time of the younger grandkids, the older kids and a few adults walked and or bicycled down to the nearby school to enjoy the playground there. Later in the afternoon, some of us occasionally would walk or bicycle down to Richard's for an ice cream. At the end of the day, we would grill dinner on the porch overlooking the lake enjoying the view of activity as well as starting our happy hour. After, dinner we enjoyed each others company and played cards and games with one another. Additionally, we watched the Red Sox and Patriot games on the tv in the living room. As you can tell by my daily activity descriptions I offer here, we had a perfect family vacation stay at the Shiloh Villa. We highly recommend the place for those of you who want a memorable and meaningful family vacation like we had at the Shiloh Villa.

Classic lake family vacation
The house is perfectly designed for multiple families, with a wonderful porch and steps right down to the beach. Each room has its own bathroom (a big plus for larger groups) and there is also plenty of communal "hang out" space. The house is well stocked with cooking supplies and board games, and simply but elegantly furnished. Renting a motorboat from a nearby marina (there is a mooring right in front of the house) made our experience truly fantastic. The older kids in our group loved the waterskiing and tubing, and we had some great fishing trips. The younger kids could have played on the beach all day! It is ideal swimming for younger kids as there is plenty of sandy bottomed shallow areas. Neighbors were friendly about sharing the use of their docks, and swimming out and jumping off of them was a lot of fun. Though the house is close to neighbors, everyone is very friendly. There are playing fields just up the street for pick up soccer or frisbee. We especially enjoyed walking to Richard's for ice cream after dinner! Overall this was an ideal location for a large group of multiple families with a broad range of ages. Fantastic old fashioned family lake vacation!
