Family-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Forest

Yan’s place was exactly what we needed for a big family resting place. The expectations of the place were well communicated and friendly reminders were plastered all around the house to refer to on our last night and morning. Everyone had a great time, there was a point of great discomfort for me but after speaking with Yan, she assured me of a speedy solution.

My family of 4 absolutely loved staying here for the four nights. It was super clean, extremely well stocked, and comfortable. Not to mention the pool and jacuzzi, the view and the peace and quiet! We would without hesitation book here again! Camille was so nice and communicative we felt like we were staying at a friend’s house.

Very clean, cute decor, comfortable and spacious (for our family of 5people), has a lot of ample amenities even for kids! Clubhouse, pool & jacuzzi access. Securities at the gate were friendly and the Neighbors mostly seem don't mind having Air BnB guests in a gated community. Walking to Waldorf hotel took about 10m, beach about 20m. But the restaurants and stores were in short driving distance. We really enjoyed this spot. Thank you!

Jan and Dale's place felt like home. When we arrived we had a nice surprise from them, snacks, a bottle of wine and fresh flowers. The neighborhood felt friendly and it was a 5 minute drive from the beach. They exceeded our expectations and we hope to return soon!

Perfect spot to stay when visiting Disney! Great backyard if traveling with small dogs. Property was very clean, well stocked and relaxing. Would book again without hesitation!

Hallgrim was a very gracious host. We were moving from another Airbnb & needed a place to stow our refrigerated food for 3 hours. He easily accommodated that & ultimately said we could just check in early. One caveat - be sure you understand the street parking protocol. It works but it can be tight, especially late at night. We always found a spot but you will need good parallel parking skills. The house is personal & eclectic & you will feel like you are staying at a good friend’s house. This is not the usual “just the basics” corporate Airbnb. It is a home. My daughter & I felt very comfortable staying here & would definitely book it again. The Canyon has a unique history. In addition to looking thru the beautiful coffee table book Hallgrim has left out for his guests to enjoy, you must watch Echo in the Canyon for an extended stroll through the musical history of this unique canyon. You’ll be singing Mamas and Papas songs on your way down to Lilly’s Cafe in no time!

Ari’s place is fantastic. I sat out in the patio every morning listening to birds and having coffee. Nice quiet cul de sac. House was exactly as photos represented. Amenities and kitchen and bathrooms were resort level. Great place and I’ll be back! Thanks Ari.

Irma’s place was great we enjoyed our stay and she is very fast at being responsive to any questions or problems you might have.

This place was exactly as advertised. We spent hours sitting outside in the yard relaxing during our stay which is exactly what we'd hoped for. The location was perfect: right near the beach and restaurants but in a quiet community. I'd love to stay here again.

Tamryn's place exceeded my expectations in every way. The pictures were accurate, and yet somehow did not do justice to just how special the apartment or its surroundings are! There were many thoughtful touches throughout: there was ground coffee, half and half, Greek yogurt and granola available in the fridge for breakfast, hand lotion and sunscreen available in the bathroom, and it seemed that the linens had been washed in scentless detergent, which I really appreciate because I'm super sensitive to soaps and scents. The apartment itself was surprisingly spacious, with a full-size bathroom and cute kitchenette and dining table overlooking their gardens. It was perfect for a weekend stay and I found myself wishing I could stay even longer. Many thanks to Tamryn and her family for the comfortable and well-appointed guest suite!

I loved staying here! Me and my dogs were super comfortable and had the best time. My stay was super relaxing and everything was on point. Definitely would like to stay again in the future :)

Sheri’s home is our go to place to stay when in Orange County. It’s in a quiet, beautiful and safe neighborhood. Places like Disneyland, Honda Center and Angels Stadium are very accessible from the house. The home is very well represented in the listing. It is very comfortable and homey and makes a great home away from home. The fully fenced in backyard is great for dogs and kids alike. Sheri is a proactive, friendly and easy to communicate with host. I would highly recommend booking Sheri’s home. We are already booked to be back!

Five stars, 100%, A+! If you have the chance to stay here at Tonya’s beach cottage, don’t miss it! Perfectly appointed, clean & spare but warm and welcoming design and furnishings. Darling neighborhood with lovely walkable streets and a flower-lined pedestrian bridge leading to the beach a short 10 min walk away. And Tonya’s hospitality is truly a gift that she enjoys sharing with others!!! Gorgeous charcuterie board and a bottle of chilled wine were waiting for us upon arrival. And, by some magical combo of a lovely mattress, crisp cool sheets and ocean air, I experienced truly great sleep! Thank you so much Tonya!

This is our second stay with Bill and we hope to stay again in the future. It's a great little spot with so much stuff to do within walking distance. Very clean, well stocked and a great space for us, 4 people one dog. Our dog loves the place as much as we do. Nice doggy door and patio area. Close to a dog beach and a beautiful neighborhood to walk around in. Highly recommended this place and Bill is a wonderful host.

We enjoyed our stay as the house was clean and cozy with great location. Carolyn was very attentive and friendly, making the entire stay smoothly with no fuss. Highly recommended for those who want to stay in the area.

Great stay just a short walk from the beach. Perfect for a small group.

Great place. Highly recommend. Nice quiet neighborhood in a very walkable location.

Best thing about this place is the location and outdoor deck/patio space with awesome view. Quiet lovely street but near lots of action of Silver Lake. The apartment itself is very nice as well.

Great place in a great location. We stayed twice in one week. 😊. Very convenient if you are boarding the Catalina express, Only eight minutes away

Place was an amazing stay. The area was nice and quiet. Entrance to the place was very easy and the place has a pool and outdoor patio with a fire pit which was amazing! Beds and sheets were very comfortable and soft with an AC available. The room has a complimentary coffee station which was amazing!!! The place was clean and aesthetic! Highly suggest this place!

First off I want to say the pictures don’t do the back yard any justice. It’s so beautiful and the perfect get away trip without having to break the bank. Definitely worth every penny We loved it and we will be returning again! P.s. Just make sure you bring some bug spray there is a bunch of mosquitos in the back yard, we didn’t have any so don’t be us lol. 🙌

Me & my family absolutely loved staying at this beautiful home. My first time ever getting an Airbnb & so happy we did. The house all together is so beautiful inside & out. The pool & jacuzzi were amazing. Such relaxing scenery. Unfortunately didn’t get to use the fire pit outside, but I bet it’s cozy. It was truly beautiful. If I’m ever in need of an Airbnb again in this area, I will definitely be reaching out to Jorgen again. Jorgen was a wonderful host to work with. Very nice, respectful & responsive. My son-in-law actually forgot his sunglasses after we checked out & he even took the time to make sure we got them back. Super super happy with our experience there. You won’t be disappointed.

Janet welcomed us into her home and was amazing. The cottage was nothing short of perfection, her responsiveness and willingness to accommodate for our group was impeccable. I cannot wait for a second opportunity to share space with her.

Very pleasant stay. Super clean and felt like home. I would highly recommend this stay.
