Family-friendly vacation rentals in Shaler Township

Andi’s place worked out perfectly for our sisters weekend. For 5 people everyone could have their own bedroom and there was enough sitting space for us all. Plenty to do with restaurants, museums and parks within walking distance or a short drive, then once home the house was quiet. Recommend!

We had a good stay for grad weekend for my daughter. Enjoyed the place, the nice TV, the many snacks provided and the back garden.

Always a joy to stay here (which we try to do every time we come to town). The house is comfortable, well-furnished, and always spotlessly clean. And it’s a real home, not a soulless, cookie-cutter Airbnb rental. Plus, Laura is a delightful host, super friendly and very responsive. Don’t hesitate.

This was a great place to stay! The place was amazing and even better were the hosts. Andi made the place very welcoming and was super responsive and accommodating. We really enjoyed our selves! Thank you for sharing your place with us and making our girls weekend away special!

Good location. Walkable to some local spots but also easy to uber to other areas. Spacious for a group. It rained most of the weekend but there’s a great outdoor space! Beds were very comfy! Super cute decor, modern. Fantastic kitchen. Awesome large round table that is great for a group or game night. Lots of bathrooms. The only complaint is the lock to the front door is a little temperamental —takes awhile for it to lock and unlock. Either way—minimal inconvenience for a near perfect experience. Would definetly stay there again!!!!

We had a wonderful stay as the house was clean and spacious. The host was very responsive and provided clear instructions to make the entire stay very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property.

We enjoyed our weekend stay at Jaclyn’s. She communicated well and gave clear instructions for check in. We also appreciated her sorting our parking permit. The home was clean and tidy, and had everything we needed for our short stay. The neighbourhood is quiet and despite street parking only, we were easily able to park right outside the apartment. Overall, we think it was an enjoyable stay at a good value!

Karen's house was a great place for our short family visit to the Pittsburgh area. The house was very clean, the kitchen is set up nicely and has plenty of cooking utensils, pans and plates/silverware. The backyard is large and is fenced in which was great for our dogs. The deck is also large with a table and chairs - if the weather was nice, it would have been a great place to sit and relax. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again.

Having stayed in a number of Air BnBs over the years, Heidi’s home moves to the top of the list of favorites! We really appreciated the opportunity to stay in Heidi’s beautiful home, where we were treated with kind hospitality. The house is even better than in the photos, so lovingly maintained, with incredible original woodwork and stained glass. After a day of activities in the Pittsburgh area, it was fantastic to come back to this amazing house, which is super comfortable and homey. Not only was the house great, but Heidi provided us with food! It was so awesome to have fresh coffee and a nice breakfast in the morning. She also gave us helpful suggestions for area restaurants and brew pubs within walking distance. I especially loved the front porch for taking in the night air on the porch swing…We highly recommend this beautiful home!

Great spot and beautiful view of the city! Beds were very comfortable and there was a lot of space. The place is a little dated but clean.

It was wonderful spot, a lot of restaurants and things to do in walking spots. Neighbors were really friendly and helpful! Michael was super understanding and communicative. We ran into a problem he helped.

Best AirBnB experience my group has had to date! Every provision was accounted for; we sought for nothing we couldn't find. Suzie took such consideration and anticipation from the customized door code to offering us our favorite local beverages we can't get in Buffalo, she had it covered! She even allowed for a curveball with one of the group needing to stay due to a flight delay... perfect weekend made perfect by this host! 12 out of 10! Would love to come back to see Bills at Steelers (assuming the rivals are welcome!- Ha).

We stayed at Avi's listing in July 2024 while attending a 10-day yoga teacher training in Squirrel Hill. From the original booking and all of the way through our final day, Avi was responsive and helpful in our communications. The listing looks exactly as it does in the photos and there is free street parking. Walkable to many restaurants and parks in the surrounding area and a 15-20 minute drive from downtown Pittsburgh. We experienced a few issues during our stay that couldn't be immediately addressed by Avi and he very quickly found someone to help remedy the situation. The issues were not his fault, yet he made the situation right and offered exemplary customer service. I will definitely keep Avi's listing in mind for my future visits to Pittsburgh!

Bloomfield is the Little Italy 🇮🇹 of Pittsburgh. The unit is a very large 1 BR. It is very private, yet within a block of several restaurants.

Gail was friendly & responsive and available to answer my questions. I came into town for a Steelers game and Gail’s place is about a 20 minute walk to the stadium. I’m glad I walked because I got to see all the tailgating along the way! There’s a great coffeeshop two minutes away; and my Ubers came quickly. There’s also an Aviary nearby that I wish I had more time to visit. Gail’s neighborhood is safe and the people in Pittsburgh are super friendly! 💛

Highly recommend this place! It’s in a great spot to get to all the cool place in shadyside. This is a very charming home. Elizabeth was such a sweet person to chat with during check in. She was very clear with what to expect and my stay felt more like staying with family.

This house was very comfortable. We were delighted with the box of fresh bakery items. On a previous trip we had tried to visit this bakery, but the line to get in was too long. There was a fresh blooming plant on the dining table. We enjoyed the front porch, and the proximity to the residence of our mother. The location, just off Murray Ave., is ideal. We found many interesting shops and restaurants. We well return to this rental on our many visits to Mother.

Carlos's place was great! There was plenty of room for myself and my family. We loved the decor and would recommend the house to anyone needing a place to stay in the area.

Great location walkable to some good spots including the Arsenal area and some watering holes. Easy, quick rideshares to the Strip and downtown including the arenas and stadiums. Plenty of space inside. Just be careful heading down the stairs.

This was a great place to stay. It was very clean, spacious and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. Victoria is a great host and good communicator! It’s my favorite place I’ve stayed in Pittsburgh and would definitely stay there again!
