Family-friendly vacation rentals in Upper Merion Township

Eli’s place was great! Spacious, clean, and a very convenient location. Eli was communicative and helpful. Since it is a very central location some noise from the street is to be expected, so be prepared for that. Overall all went smoothly, highly recommend!

Bill and Sandi treated me as if I were family! But... they failed to mention how BEAUTIFUL their neighborhood is! There are 3 gorgeous horses across the way, friendly cats, and even turkeys!! I was welcome to use the hot tub anytime I wanted and they even got me a bottle of wine. I'm definitely returning soon. xxx

Jeneene’s was a great place to stay for our family. Beautifully appointed and well set up for kids. An easy distance to the airport and Philly sports venues. We greatly enjoyed our stay. Easily accommodated 9 adults and 3 toddlers.

It's a perfectly lovely cottage, as seen in the photos. One big happy room with a comfy bed. We stayed for a weekend, and drove to Philly a couple times (40 minutes?), which was close enough. We also hiked a bit. You can walk right out of the house, right down the road, right into the nearby state park, and right into the adjacent arboretum. Which is altogether pretty cool. Could it possibly be better? Yes, the one drawback is that you're staying in someone's yard. But the house is pretty far back, and we did not meet our hosts, or anything like that. That is to say it felt very private. In short, it was absolutely 100% worth the price.

My extended family had a wonderful time at the farmhouse. All the rooms were clean, airy and cozily decorated. The kitchen was great for cooking as well as having large meals together. We used the huge porch morning, noon and night and the back pool was clean and a relaxing space to hang out. The location is near many small towns with good restaurants, and shops with all the basic necessities are also close by. Farmer Pierre was quick to respond to any questions. We also enjoyed having small interactions with the farm animals, especially the pygmy goats. There was plenty of parking space as well. All the amenities were as promised and we all just had a wonderfully relaxing time.

Lauren’s apartment was the perfect central Philly location for our family holiday. Had everything we needed for our stay, the washer and dryer were a bonus! Bedrooms were very comfortable and just what we needed after a long day walking. Located literally a stone’s throw from the Liberty Bell & Independence Hall and within walking distance of lovely coffee shops and restaurants, the Independence Visitor Centre (the volunteers there are lovely) and lots of historical locations to explore. Would definitely stay there again.

This place was clean and she answered all my questions. I would book this place again.

We had a wonderful stay in this charming older home over Christmas. Parking was easy. It was Ideal for our family of 3. The location was perfect for visiting downtown Princeton, and grocery stores and restaurants were close by. Natalia was immediately responsive to any questions.

Stayed for 4 days and it was a great stay. The place was clean and Alberto was friendly and responsive! Great neighborhood and in waking distance from restaurants, breweries. - Rob

Fabulous place to stay. Beds were very comfortable. The area ( Amish country) was so beautiful and interesting. We hope to come back!

My husband and I take a yearly trip to Lancaster for our anniversary. We were looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing where we could unplug from everyday life. This was the perfect spot. The house was adorable, very clean and comfortable. I’m nearly 5 months pregnant and had the best night of sleep I’ve gotten since getting pregnant. Juana was extremely responsive and very helpful. I needed milk and it was too late to go anywhere so she brought some right over. She left some fresh sourdough cookies and various local goodies that I absolutely inhaled. We will be making this our regular spot when we are in the area. BONUS-the sweet orange barn cat who loved scratches and attention distracted me from missing my fur babies at home.

Dennis was extremely easy to talk to and made sure had everything we needed before we landed ! The place was in a quiet neighborhood like advertised and the place was very clean.

I walked to Reanimator coffee in Fishtown every morning and got takeout for everyone. The bed was comfortable. Interesting inustrial + yuppie condo neighborhood. Was perfect for us.

One of the best shower heads I have ever had the pleasure to use. Took a ton of will power to not stay in the shower the whole stay. It appears that Ruthie and her family live in the house when guests are not staying. That did not bother me and my guest, but something to note. Really close to a Casino if that is what you are looking for. Less than a 5 min walk.

My family had another wonderful vacation at Jane’s house. She’s a great host. The house is very clean and had everything you need and more. Beds are comfortable, kitchen is great. The best is the backyard and heated pool. We spent most of our time there outside in the wonderful backyard. It’s close to sesame place, please touch museum and the Franklin institute. If you have young kids, it’s a great location. We plan on going back for sure!

Beautiful sustainable farm! Our kids loved interacting with the animals and picking and eating the fresh fruits and vegetables from their varied farm. Nancy and Richard were wonderful hosts and gave a wealth of farming knowledge and experience. We definitely got a lot more than we anticipated! We all had a lovely stay and hope to visit again!

This Airbnb is amazingly spacious and squeaky clean!! WOW!! Our family loved our time here and we were so incredibly comfortable. Every thoughtful detail is covered. Quick drive to all the fun activities in the community. We all had a great time, just wish we could have stayed longer.

Thoroughly enjoyed my 2-night stay at The Little House! The cottage is cute and nicely decorated -- artsy and very homey. Also fully-stocked and impeccably clean. The bed was comfortable with plenty of blankets and pillows. Loved the swing on the front porch! Julia was very responsive to my questions ahead of my stay, and friendly and helpful when we had a chance to meet and chat. It was a lovely getaway!

We had a nice stay at Caryle’s house. It was a nice location to explore Longwood gardens, Wintertur, and Philadelphia. Neighborhood was quiet. The house was nice and clean and we felt right at home. Caryle was very responsive and proactive.

This home has all of the amenities and was so peaceful. You can tell there are a lot of loving memories in this home. The owner is warm and communicative.

I’d give the Carriage House 10 stars if I could! Lori was so welcoming and friendly, great start to our stay. The photos pretty much tell the story, but the apartment is even more beautiful in person. Everything you could want or need and more is there; the kitchen was fully supplied, better than most I’ve seen. Comfy bed; plenty of places to hang out between the sofa and table, and outside as well. The decor was wonderful, colors and fabrics well chosen for the rustic elegance vibe. The artwork was really impressive, it was different from what’s in the photos so maybe the pieces are rotated in and out, but a wonderful modern counterpoint to a more traditional vernacular style of architecture. Couldn’t ask for a more peaceful and private setting, so wonderfully quiet, and the big floof dogs were a delight, so friendly! Will be sure to visit the alpacas next trip! One of our best travel experiences ever, so glad we discovered this gem.
