[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it is reasonable for someone not to want a young child in their home.  A one month old can wake up screaming multiple times a night.  In most houses you can hear through the rooms and that would be a nightmare for someone sleeping.  You should disclose you have a young child.  You may find someone family friendly but I don't blame them.  I can't imagine bring our toddler into a situation like that for both our sake and their sake.  Get a hotel.[/quote]

This is a house rental, not a room in someone's home. So OP and her family will be the only ones there--she's not looking to rent a room out.

And while it's understandable that people may not want babies in their homes, it is nonetheless still against the law to refuse to rent to families with children unless the home is exempt from fair housing laws. There are plenty of people out there who would also prefer not to rent to black families or to men, too, but if it is a vacation rental home advertised on VRBO, that's not the owner's call to make, per federal law.
