Family-friendly vacation rentals in Bristol

Great location. Easy check in and out.

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 :)

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Stephen’s house! my brother came with his 3 kids and they had so much fun that they didn’t want to leave. There were plenty of activities to keep them entertained, and the pool was perfect. The grill and outdoor space provided exactly what we needed for some enjoyable family time. It was a perfect trip that truly felt good for the soul!

My husband and I stayed with our 19-month-old son for three nights and it was a perfect choice! Susan had a toys and books that he loved, as well as a sandbox and pool outside - and the home was stocked with everything we needed for our stay. We used the location as a jumping off point for other activities and then had quiet afternoons at the house while my husband rode his bike (we saw lots of other cyclists!). If you are vegan or vegetarian, check out the Shoreline Diner in Guilford - it was delicious.

It was great. Everything was the complete opposite of what I expected

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.

What a great relaxing couple of nights. If you are looking to get away from it all- this is a perfect place. 8 minute drive to cute coffee shop and local restaurants. Very quiet area. The house was cozy. I booked a last minute stay and felt I was accommodated to the best of her ability. The home is adorable with a lot of character.

Noel was an incredibly gracious and friendly host, providing us with everything we needed for a great stay in her apartment. The apartment itself is so cozy; we particularly enjoyed the library room and exploring the hundreds of titles Noel keeps there. I would recommend Noel’s apartment to anyone that is making a trip to New Haven.

Was the perfect little get away for us. And it was nice to find a place that accommodated the dogs so well. We appreciated being able to get to places easily but at the same time have a peaceful place to return to.

We had a fantastic 2-night stay at Jim’s beautiful old home. So clean, so thoughtful & tasteful decorated. Great first sunny day for biking & hiking on Harlem Valley Rail Trail and close to restaurants in town. But also great second day when caught in snowstorm. Jim’s house is warm, cozy, comfortable, perfect for a day to relax, read, watch movies, cook, and enjoy the beautiful view. Thank you and we will certainly come back.

The place is wonderful, had a great cozy stay, the beds are comfortable. Would recommend if you’re looking for a place that’s close by all the restaurants and attractions.

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!

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.

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!

We had a wonderful stay at Todd's place! Todd greeted us warmly and was very responsive. The pool was fantastic and surrounded by beautiful nature, making it a serene spot to relax. We stayed in the pool apartment, which looked out at the pool and stunning backyard. It was well-equipped with a kitchen, pool towels, a TV, couches, and a dining table. Wendy, Todd's wife, welcomed us with cookies, and they provided milk, orange juice, eggs, yogurt, and fruits. There was also a grill available. We stayed for three nights and enjoyed the pool a lot. Despite being a shared pool, there was plenty of space and time for everyone. We also used the tennis court and played some basketball at the basketball rink there. Todd and Wendy made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. We highly recommend their place!

We had an amazing stay at Sally’s place in Bethel! My fiancé and I visited CT for the first time to celebrate my birthday and go to a convention nearby. This cottage was perfect for the two of us. The host was very responsive and accommodating as well! The cottage was in pristine condition, the house manual was very easy to follow, the recommendations were great, the scenery was out of a movie, and my favorite part was the hot tub in our restroom which was perfect after a long day! We had a great time and would love to come back again! Thanks for your hospitality Sally! ☺️

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!

This place really is a gem. The bedroom and bathroom and spacious and have everything you need. The kitchen is small and can be challenging to work in, but the outdoor grill and dining space make up for that. We spent most of our time outside by the private pool relaxing. James and Margie were great hosts. They greeted us upon arrival and were so friendly and warm. They even brought fresh-bakes cookies. We had a great time!

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!

The location was great and a nice place to walk. Lots of stuff to see and do that’s not far away. We would come again.
