Spacious but cozy home in a quiet neighborhood!

We enjoyed our stay in Susan's home. It was spacious but also cozy. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The backyard/patio was perfect to hang out in the evenings and let the kids play.

Fantastic location close to trails and mountains

This property is in an excellent location - a quiet neighborhood close to the Murdock Canal trail. The backyard is lovely, perfect for lawn games and a barbecue. We hosted a rehearsal dinner for a wedding on the property and the owner was very accommodating, including adding leaves to the table and providing extra chairs. The owner was also responsive when we required some additional supplies.

Wonderful gathering spot!!!

Our family had a wonderful Thanksgiving stay here! This home had everything we needed; a large cozy family room with fireplace, fully stocked kitchen with plenty of seating, streaming services for holiday shows, a large backyard for tossing a football and a bonus swing set even the adults could enjoy! It is centrally located in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks. The hosts are so easy to communicate with! They went above and beyond replying to our questions and requests. We would not hesitate to recommend this home, and we would certainly stay again! You will not regret choosing the Stapli Haus!!!

About the host

Hosted by Susan and H. Scott Gingrich

Host profile image
I grew up just miles from Stapli Haus and American Fork Canyon is part of my old stomping grounds. I attended nearby Brigham Young University and have several children and grandchildren in the area. I teach 5th grade and love gardening, traveling, and cooking foods from around the world.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I bought this property as it was my parent's retirement home and my children and grandchildren remember it as the place for great family reunions. I love the location to a wide variety of outdoor recreation as well as theater and museums. The nearby mountains are beautiful year round with breathtaking scenery, lakes, hiking and skiing. We hope families will come and add to the happy memories here!

What makes this property unique

The property has a fully fenced backyard that offers complete privacy and a place for a game of crochet or to run around and play tag or have an old-fashioned water fight. There are heavy duty new swings and a toddler swing as well as a gas grill wired into the house gas and a small and large picnic table. Inside there are cozy bedrooms and a large family room with a fireplace perfect for board games or movies. The living room offers a quiet retreat with a good book or the perfect place to visit away from the hustle and bustle. The house is decorated with a light German theme and beautiful touches.
