Family-friendly vacation rentals in Salem

Lovely stay at the observatory! It was gorgeous weather, we enjoyed watching the sunset from the rooftop hot tub both nights. Took advantage of the pool table and watched movies after dark. Drove up into Independence for the farmers market and over to the Ankeny wildlife preserve for walks. The birds are great and so peaceful to just sit and listen to. Would come again!

This beautiful property is off the beaten path, peaceful and bucolic, cozy and well appointed ... close to all you want to see and do in Portland. We woke to birdsong and woodpeckers, strolled through the vineyards, and then picnicked under the cherry blossoms along the Williamette in downtown Portland for lunch! The kitchen had everything we needed for a fun family dinner with game playing around the farmhouse table when the weather turned rainy in the evening. Highly recommended!

This place is a gem, for sure! What really stood out to us was that the house felt loved and cared for, in all the best ways. The garden was charming with its ponds and gazebo, and both house and yard made excellent use of space and felt much larger than the square footage would imply. Tabor Bread was an easy walk away and its pastries were delightful. There were many other restaurants in walking distance too. Dallas was an extremely responsive host and made us feel right at home. We would gladly stay here again!

We stay with Therese about twice a year and have done so for years. It is close to our adult granddaughter's apartment and is a great place for our family to hang out together for meals and movies and other family activities. We love the peaceful surroundings including many big, beautiful old trees and proximity to the river. And though we have been coming for years, we still discover new things. This trip two of the new things in the neighborhood include J&R Mexican Food on McLoughlin, which has very tasty and reasonably priced Mexican food, as well as discovering Stringfield Family Park only a few blocks away on SE Naef Rd. It is also along the Trolley Trail (another good things for fitness walkers to know about in the neighborhood. Stringfield is a lovely place to have a picnic or stroll along a creek whose residents include ducks and nutria, and if you have playground age kids, they will love the fun and creative play structures! We always love staying at Therese's!

Beautiful space, wonderful amenities, and super close to my conference at PCC. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Loved our stay. This house was more than we imagined; very clean, cozy, beautiful location. Can't wait to come back

We had a relaxing stay at the loft and loved everything about it! It was super cozy with great restaurants and coffee nearby, and it was a great neighborhood for walking the dogs! Thanks!

Diane's airbnb is conveniently located for us to visit our kids and grandkids, and also anyone who has students at Reed College. We love the feel of the neighborhood, and walking around at night is beautiful around Christmas time with lights on houses. Also, I should add, the bed was very very comfortable. Dianne and Michael made us feel welcome!

Great accommodations! comfortable, everything we needed. Staying a little ways out from busy Corvallis gave us a quiet respite to relax and recharge. Pool table was a huge hit with my housemates!

The Art House perfectly met our needs. From the cozy fireplace to the comfy beds, we felt right at home on this mother-daughter time away. Leah was very responsive and provided a clear balance of privacy and friendliness -- respecting our time alone but inviting us to stop by to say hello should we choose :) We're looking forward to returning with the rest of the family.

We had to book this place last minute (day of) as our previous accommodations had cancelled on us. Susan was so easy to work with and was very helpful! Couldn’t have asked for a better saving of the day. The house was very clean, and was perfect for our group of gals. We had 1 guest that is severely allergic to dogs and even though this is a pet friendly house, not once did she have any type of reaction which goes to show just how clean the house was. I would absolutely recommend to a friend!

Loved the place. Quiet, clean, close to everything in NE Portland. Veronika is very responsive and great to work with. Will definitely stay again.

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Susan and Steve's Casita for an extended stay. They are such kind, friendly, and attentive hosts! The Casita is so comfortable and quiet and you can't beat the location. The Alberta Arts District is a vibrant community with excellent restaurants, art galleries, taphouses and cafes within walking distance. Susan and Steve had excellent recommendations for us on places to go in the area. We highly recommend this accommodation for your next trip!!

Loved staying at Lisa's place. Very accommodating. After leaving, both my wife and I wished we hadn't left. We both have a fondness of Lisa, and her two dogs Teddy and Quincy. Very roomy and private with a nice private patio for us and one for our dog Zeus. Plan to return soon.

The place was clean and spacious for the 3 of us and a dog. It is in an older neighborhood, but the house itself is well remodeled. The fenced backyard was very useful for our dog. There are a lot of wineries and the downtown close by. We had a nice dinner at La Rambla and breakfast at Alpine Kitchen. Brielle was very responsive. She even offered to bring over extra bowls for our Christmas dinner.

I had a great experience during my four-night stay at Debra and David's home. The house was truly wonderful, making me feel completely at home. It was evident that the house was filled with beautiful memories. Debra was very helpful and attentive to her guests. All the essential amenities, along with some additional comforts, were readily available—everything you could possibly need was provided.

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.

Loved the country charm of this place! Danny and LeeAnne have done an incredible job preserving it's character and quaintness. Everything was immaculate and well thought out.

This is a nice and spacious basement apartment of a larger family home located in a beautiful and walkable neighborhood. The owners’ garden is lovely and quiet and there are windows in the apartment for light and fresh air. The shower is powerful and spacious with plenty of hot water. The kitchen had just what we needed, too. Perfect for a couple. Very private and peaceful and walking distance to restaurants. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Loved how child/family friendly it is. Great toys for the kids to play with. Lots of tools for cooking in the kitchen. Super clean and loved the master bathroom.

The location is absolutely amazing. LeeAnn and Danny were the most amazing people. Thankful for the opportunity to stay at their property and getting to know them! We got a lot of quiet time for reading. Beautiful bonfires. Warm coffee in our cups. LeeAnn made sure we were ALWAYS taken care of and Danny made sure the first was well lit, as my friend and I had no idea how to keep a fire going. Haha. Great communication. If we had questions or needed something they answered quickly. We had a cute moment feeding the goats. I am so excited to plan a trip back! I appreciate you LeeAnn and Danny! You’ll be seeing me sooooon!!!

Jayme’s place was very convenient for us when we came to Wilsonville to visit our family. Clean nice place and it’s great for us that she shares her house on Airbnb when she is not at home!!

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.

Karen and Eric’s place was more than we could’ve asked for. Very kind, friendly, and generous hosts. Communication was very quick with clear details and descriptions of everything needed to enjoy a weekend getaway in beautiful Oregon wine country. Great recommendations on local restaurants and wineries. A very pleasant stay that made us feel right at home while simultaneously experiencing luxurious spa amenities with breathtaking views. Counting down the days until we can revisit!
