Family-friendly vacation rentals in North Shore, Pittsburgh

Home away from home on CMU Campus. Great space for a family Thanksgiving

We would stay here again. Perfect little couples get away. Loved having the jacuzzi. It didn’t bother us but just so other people know, you are in a basement and will be able to hear the people upstairs walking around. Again, it wasn’t bothersome but it was there.

Oh my goodness! Rick is so thoughtful! And super communicative! He provided incredibly detailed information about how to access the house and the parking. Additionally, he had so many thoughtful details in the house in the way of snacks and beautiful flowers. And while we didn’t take advantage of the extensive list of restaurants because of being in town for the holidays, it was really nice how much information he provided. It was a great location especially to our family in Squirrel Hill.

Rick was so incredible. He had the sweetest welcome, clear instructions, and just above and beyond. I can’t recommend this space enough! Cute off the main path place but a walkable distance to very cute bars and restaurants which made it perfect balance for my family. This place is immaculate! When I come back to Pittsburgh this is going to be my place!!

We had a great stay at Laura’s place. The bungalo was adorable & comfortable. It had everything we needed. We felt right at home. It was very clean. Location was great! Couldn’t beat being down the block from Oakmont Bakery. There is a park right across that our Grandson had fun at. Quiet neighborhood. Laura was a great host. Highly recommend.

Laura, Thank you so much for the use of your house for the weekend. It was a very lovely setting. We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen. The hot tub was quite a treat! We appreciate the time and energy you put into making it a very comfortable home. We appreciated the simple, clear instructions for managing the basics of the house. And we appreciated the list of local attractions and restaurants. We were amazed at the size of the Oakmont Bakery! We appreciated your prompt and thorough responses to our questions. We would highly recommend this place for other travelers. Carolyn

Russell’s home was the perfect spot for us, especially with an animal. Great location, I really liked the architecture, and felt at home. Would definitely stay there in the future.

Ryan's place was fabulous. It was spacious and beautifully designed. We had everything we needed. I highly recommend you book his place.

My husband loved stating at this place. It was perfect for us to travel from Kentucky to Pittsburgh to attend a Steelers game. We would 100% stay there again. This private room with private bathroom is on the first floor of a three story historic home. Elizabeth, who is the nicest person ever, lives with her husband on the upper two floors. The adorable space was super clean and I felt very at home. The mattress was extremely comfortable and the water was hot in the shower. Bring your own cooler and ice, and you are set. 10 out of 10. Thank you Elizabeth!

Highly recommend Elena's place if you're looking for a safe, quiet, and spacious location in Pittsburgh! The home definitely has character, and it suited my needs perfectly. I would stay here again, and I would stay here longer if I'm ever back in the area.

Had another excellent stay. This is the second time we've stayed here and it was just as good as the first time. Will definitely keep in mind for any future trips to Pittsburgh.

Jaclyn’s place was perfect for what I needed! A place for myself and my cat to stay over the holidays, so I could have space away from family I was visiting. The instructions to get in were very helpful, place very clean, always was warm during a very cold spell, and was quiet and private. The location felt safe and was very convenient getting around parts of the city with a car. Would book again!

Great communication! Loved the house, clean, fun, everything you need! Highly recommend, will definitely stay again! Thank you!

The house was nice, spacious and clean. The bedrooms were comfortable, the neighborhood was safe and fun! Lots to do around the area and just a few minutes from downtown. Would recommend for anyone who wants the Pittsburgh experience without having to be in the middle of downtown!

Christopher’s home in Lawrenceville was thoughtfully designed/furnished, and in such an ideal location. It’s only 20-ish minutes to the airport, super close to the Strip District, and right near the main drag of attractions on Butler Street in Lawrenceville. I was a little concerned about street parking, but it honestly never took more than 5-10 minutes at most to find a nearby spot, usually found one right away. Christopher was also very responsive, and was even kind enough to allow me a bit of a later checkout, which was much appreciated. This was a fantastic and comfortable visit - would be thrilled to book again next time I’m in Pittsburgh. Thank you, again, Christopher!

My daughter had to be in the Pittsburgh area for two weeks due to a school requirement. Michael met her there at check in, and made sure she had everything she needed. And, he graciously gave her a late check out since her flight didn’t leave until later in the evening. Everything went smoothly, and this mom was happy she was safe, and grateful for Michael and Michelle’s help.

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! 💛

It’s like “coming home” when we are in Bellevue and stay at Amy’s place. It’s our favorite for several years now. Besides the comfortable and beautiful accommodations, it’s always nice dealing with Amy. Thankful for another fun Pittsburgh visit.

This is the 3rd year we have been coming to Mike and Ann's place. As always, they have been super hospitable and provided a nice "home away from home". The apartment is located in a lovely, walkable neighborhood, in close walking distance from good restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, etc. Mike and Anne had Bagels/Pastries/Fruit/Yogurt ready for us in the apartment, which we enjoyed for breakfast. Will gladly return.

We 100% recommend staying at Mark and Evan's place! We were in Pittsburgh to visit our college student for Thanksgiving - the house was a perfect size, had a great kitchen for cooking Thanksgiving dinner, and excellent dining room with everything we needed. The house has an office space in the front room that was great for a day of remote work. The neighborhood was easily walkable to cute restaurants and the grocery store. We'll definitely request to stay again!

This was our third stay at Martha’s Airbnb. Please see our previous reviews for why we give it a five star rating. It will continue to be our destination of choice when we return to Pittsburgh to visit our son’s family living in the Regent Square area.

We LOVED staying at Matt's place! We've been staying in Airbnb's for long term stays after selling our home last Fall, and had Matt's place been available for additional months beyond our stay we would have absolutely extended our time there. We would highly recommend for anyone needing a long term accomodation. As is mentioned in many of the previous reviews, the stairs inside are quite steep and took some getting used to, but Matt was incredibly attentive to our feedback and provided a baby gate to use at the top of the stairs to add a measure of safety when crossing the threshold between the bedroom and extra living space. All in all, we had had no issue with the stairs during our stay.
