Family-friendly vacation rentals in West Hartford

This is a wonderful place to stay if you are visiting UConn or the surrounding area. Keri and Jason were fabulous hosts and very responsive to my needs. Keri even anticipated needs by offering to have a fresh cup of coffee ready for me on the AM. Everything was perfect for my stay and there was definitely a comfortable feel. I will definitely be staying here in the future.

Jeannine’s home was an absolute gem! We had our annual girls weekend here and felt right at home. The house was so cozy and warm yet had ample space for me and the girls to sit and chat together. We loved that the house was lived in with family photos and mementos around, rather than being sterile like many other bnbs we’ve stayed in. There was also so much to do in the surrounding area! I would definitely recommend this stay :)

This is at least our 4th time staying at what we call "The Farm" and it is our favorite getaway! We even got my brother to drive 1.5 hours out of his way on his family trip to Boston so he could check it out. A rare gem!

Cannot thank Stephen enough for taking care of us after a major mess up. We were able to get in and relax and enjoy. So grateful for all he did for us on a graduation weekend.

We had a great stay. The pictures are accurate but the house feels better in person as the rooms flow together very well, and the entire house gets a lot of natural light throughout the day. The house is cozy but not at all cramped; it's more spacious than I expected for a vintage farmhouse. All of us enjoyed the yard with its various accoutrements. We used the fire pit, hot tub, and trampoline extensively. We enjoyed the local restaurants. Everything was in immaculate condition, and the owners were very responsive throughout.

My family stayed at Prana for New Years 2024 into 2025. It was an outstanding staycation, as the house is the activity. We only ventured out for meals. It was wonderful and relaxing.

This was a beautiful, historic home. The pool/ spa area was perfect for the 8 of us. We spent days lounging in the pool, visiting wineries, Kent, Kent Falls, New Preston and touring the area. We also spent time on the hiking trails that are accessible right from the property. The little town of Washington was quaint and had the basics of what you may need. A Wonderful book store and coffee shop (Marty’s Cafe, their gluten free pastries were fantastic). There was even a small market. We would definitely recommend the G W Tavern for dinner. Gregory was very easy to communicate with and answered all our questions and concerns. Having a full time automatic generator was really wonderful, we had some storms while we were there and the neighbors were without power but we continued on without interruption. Even the house A/C, spa and pool filter and heater were up and running. Our daily visits from all the wildlife and resident spirit were magical. We loved our time here!

We came as a group of friends with a baby to stay at Blake and Tracy's house, and we had a great stay. They were very communicative and accommodated all our requests to ensure our stay was excellent. They asked in advance if it would be okay for their child to stay in his room inside the house, and we agreed. We didn’t see him at all during our stay, and it didn’t disturb us in the slightest. The fact that Blake and Tracy live right next door was convenient, as they were readily available for anything we needed, but we never felt their presence. We will definitely come back!

Everything was great!

We enjoyed staying at Nancy’s place, it was super comfortable and our dog loved it too! There was plenty of space to walk our dog and we really enjoyed watching the animals from the back porch!

Margie’s place is an amazing hidden gem. The inside is very clean and comfortable. The outside is an experience of its own. The lake will drop your blood pressure immediately. Gorgeous surroundings. The dogs are friendly and lovable. We will be back! 👍🏼

I really enjoyed my stay here. The place was eclectic and comfortable. I loved how open and spacious the home was and appreciated the peacefulness of the area. I would definitely stay here again on future visits.

We've stayed several times over the past year or so--Ina's cottage is our favorite weekend getaway from the city. The setting is just right--you can see the sunrise and sunset from its hilltop location, which offers lovely views across the surrounding countryside. Last weekend, we watched bluebirds feeding in the meadows nearby. Inside, the cottage is charming and filled with characterful furnishings and decor. All is immaculate and thoughtfully equipped from kitchen to bathrooms for a comfortable stay. We love the privacy that Ina's space provides with options for good restaurants, swimming, and hiking nearby in surrounding towns. Ina, we loved the pumpkin and gourds in the cottage and thank you again for a delightful stay.

Spacious and comfortable one bedroom + studio, lots of natural light, serene atmosphere, we had a great stay and would be love to visit again

Very nice place and location is amazing. We were grateful that our host provide some basic amenities - coffee, shampoo and condtuoner, etc. Made our visit easy and very pleasant. Thank you!

I chose Marlene’s lovely spot primarily because it was in a location convenient for short trips to visit family and friends in Wallingford, Middlebury and Middletown while on my way south from New Hampshire. The peaceful, quiet surroundings along with a spotless, well-appointed accommodation made it very appealing: highly recommended.

Friendly and prompt responder. Really clean. The kids more than loved the game room. And I personally loved the decor. Only objection is it’s kinda out of the way and you’d have to drive to do any activities, but other than that a really great stay.

Truly home sweet home. Just walk in and relax. Fully stocked kitchen including milk, eggs, butter and pastries so no need to rush out to go grocery shopping. Convenient to New Haven yet completely quiet neighborhood for resting and taking walks.

We had an amazing time at Marybeth’s suite—it truly felt like a winter wonderland. Our kids had a blast "swimming" in the snow and "rolling" over the gentle hills. Every moment was filled with joy, whether we were relaxing in the sunroom, playing in the snow, or swinging outside. The time spent together as a family, along with our conversations with Marybeth and her family, was truly precious. We can’t wait to return in the summer!

Felt right at home, check in was very easy, beautiful place, very friendly enjoyed his place thinking to coming back again my business send me to Connecticut! Thank you!

We had a very nice stay for a family wedding. Sharing the house with two combined families in January and the house was great for this. There are rooms with 3-4 beds in each so if you are looking for bedroom privacy then this house probably isn’t it. That said, we are all family so was fun to bunk up! The area is beautiful and there r a great set of trails right at the end of the road for hiking, walking cross country skiiing etc. Overall, a great stay and Kimberly was very communicative with everything

We enjoyed the coziness of the pool house during our Thanksgiving stay. The location was close to our family and friends. It was private and quiet. Alice responded promptly to our questions. We would like to return when the weather is warmer to take advantage of the pool and the outside surroundings. The Goulds

This wonderful antique home is in a Beautiful spot in the heart of Litchfield CT, and a delight early spring when the fields of daffodils awake! This unique 1793 house has a great view & sunset, fireplace, simple spa/gym making it a gem even when the pool is closed. Nearby the town with lots to offer and local farms for food shopping too. What’s not to love 💛 Bonus is a great host offering a home that is in touch with the realities of rentals, pets and people -not picky, precious or punitive. Happy to recommend and return! Thank you Elizabeth!

Beautiful property and well equipped home in a quiet neighborhood. Great for a relaxing getaway with friends or family. The yard has additional amenities for kids to enjoy outside time. The house has great WiFi but would be helpful to know that cell service is limited.
