Family-friendly vacation rentals in West Haven-Sylvan

All the rave reviews were accurate! We had a great time and the same has everything you might need. Immediate relaxation!

After staying back in 2021, this second visit felt like coming home (if home had windows that looked out in the the forest canopy and everything neat and tidy.) I just love the the view, the space itself, the trails, and above all the quiet! Susan is a responsive, friendly host who also feels to me like a guardian of the privacy.

This home was a great stay for myself, my wife, and my 3 boys! The kids loved the hot tub. We even went for a walk up the hill past the vineyard and they loved that also. The forest environment was just what they had asked for. We would definitely consider coming back again!

This little studio is so cute and the view from the patio is beautiful.

The neighborhood is quiet and the place is a quick drive to so many things to do. The darkening window shade in the main bedroom is great for sleeping in. After a day full of activity, it was nice to come home to the hot tub. Sometime back a reviewer said the trampoline was not usable. While I didn't use it, there was one in the backyard that looked absolutely fine to use. Perhaps the old one was replaced? Anyway, just letting others know who are interested in the feature.

An absolute gem of a place to stay. Do not hesitate to book. Beautifully designed. Wonderful wolf gas rage in a state full of electric stoves. A wonderful place to stay with friends, we didn’t want to leave. We will be back. Bigger than I expected from the photos. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Melissa was the best host I have ever had! She went out of her way to accommodate me and my kids. We landed late and she proactively offered to set up the futon bed for us and even left us some food. We enjoyed our stay. The yard was great. Great walkable location. We would definitely stay here again when in Portland.

We had a truly wonderful stay! The space was incredibly clean, peaceful, and beautifully decorated—with thoughtful touches throughout that made it feel extra special. It was private and quiet, yet perfectly located for exploring the Portland area. Parking was easy, and the neighborhood felt safe and welcoming. The hosts were extremely kind and communicative—we felt well taken care of from start to finish. We were very impressed and would absolutely stay here again!

We loved staying here! It was quite warm in Portland but the temperature was perfect during our stay at the apartment. We walked to restaurants and shops on Alberta and the near by parks were great for our dogs. The hosts were very welcoming and we would love to stay again on our next Portland trip!

The cabin was very peaceful situated right next to a creek. My favorite part of my stay was drinking my coffee while sitting right next to the creek in the morning. Such a beautiful place, the cabin has everything you could need and felt very cozy. We enjoyed our one night stay and found it hard to leave the next day. We definitely recommend if you are needing a relaxing getaway near Portland!

We stayed here long-term while house-hunting and had the most amazing time. This space felt like home, the hosts were kind and very welcoming, and the neighborhood was a dream. Very walkable and historic. This ended up being our new favorite neighborhood in Portland! Thank you James for the most perfect stay. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely stay at Stephen’s place! Hidden away behind the main house, the place felt secluded and private. It was equipped with everything we needed to cook, and stocked with thoughtful toiletries. Close to all the main grocery stores, and walking distance to Hollywood Theater. I highly recommend staying here!

This was my second stay with Andrea and it didn’t disappoint. Cozy and calm retreat within walking distance of all the Mississippi fun. Loved having morning coffee with my dog on the outdoor patio space. This is earmarked on my Portland list for my future trips.

Beautiful home and yard in a great location! We felt right at home during our stay!

The apartment was spacious and well equipped. A meal could easily be prepared in the large kitchen, laundry done, and even ironed. Zanna was very responsive when I mentioned that certain products were running low. Also very nice to have the use of a private patio with table and chairs. I will stay here again if I plan to be in Portland for several days.

Chad and Amanda’s place was in a great location! We loved how walkable it was yet quiet. They were very responsive and had great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. The bed was also very comfortable!

Our magical vintage trailer getaway was pure cozy bliss! Tucked away in a charming little spot, the rain only made the weekend feel more enchanting. With our pups snuggled beside us, we spent the days playing board games, sipping warm drinks, and listening to the soothing patter of raindrops on the roof. The trailer’s retro charm added to the whimsy, making it feel like we had stepped into a dreamy little hideaway. It was the perfect mix of nostalgia, relaxation, and fun—proof that sometimes, the best adventures happen indoors.

Awesome trailer. We checked in afterhours and they were very accomodating and nice. Great location. Truly enjoyed the experience

The trailers were fantastic! Some friends and I stayed as a last minute weekend get away and we could not have asked for a better time. I can't wait to come back. Wineries are close by, and the scenery is beautiful. Highly recommend!

Very clean and well kept space! Would definitely stay again, we loved it. Bridget was very kind and responsive as well!

The trailer was great. What an awesome idea! It was so nice being right in the middle of wine country and being able to drive down the road. The extra accoutrama like the pour over coffee and space heater made this better than it needed to be. Would definitely do this place again, thanks!

This is the second time we've stayed at Shelley's place and it was just as good the second time around. While there are a lot of posted rules and guidelines around the house, they have obviously helped keep her home immaculate for guests. She communicates incredibly well and is more than accommodating to any special needs or requests. She invited my group to come up a night early due to her previous renters checking out early and offered us a check-out at any time of the day, not rushing us out at all. The pool and view are unmatched and I highly recommend this location to others. If we're in need of a rental in Sherwood again, Shelley's place will be our first choice.

Julie was a generous host. It was a peaceful place for my family to stay and easy for our local family to come for meals and visit. Every morning we had coffee on the large private deck. We sat on the deck some evenings and enjoyed the fresh air and complete lack of mosquitoes. The two full bathrooms for the five of us were essential. We booked this house to have a great place to stay-in and have local family over but it was also close to many things in Portland. The zoo and the science museum were two of them. Julie was responsive to requests and just a very kind person.

Wonderfully fun to stay in a time capsule! I was so impressed with how clean and well kept the trailers were. Felt like mint condition!
