This is the perfect rental for your stay in Springdale.

The location of this property is perfect. Park your car and walk everywhere you need to go. Very close to all the restaurants, shopping, and shuttle stops. The space is beautiful and provides lots of room for gathering. It’s filled with spirit and love. Our only regret was not staying longer.

The Perfect Zion Escape

We were blown away by Namastay. It was incredible. Catrin and Jonathan could not have been easier to work with and Jonathan has an outfitter shop in town. They were able to help us navigate Zion and could not have been more gracious. The next time I am in Springdale I want to stay at their place. There was plenty of space, it's so conveniently located, it has an amazing view, and its a beautiful property.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay.

Nama-Stay was the perfect place for our gathering of 6 people for a week. It was accurately described, beautifully maintained, with a great location right near downtown Springdale and Zion National Park. The house had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay and the view from the back deck was outstanding. It's a two minute walk to town but rural feeling and very quiet. The owners, John and Catrin and their delightful and precocious son Mossimo, live on the property and run a local guide and outfitting company(Zion Guru) and were very helpful with suggestions and gear for our various adventures. We hiked and biked Zion, did a day trip to Bryce and finished our trip with a day of canyoneering into the Narrows of Zion. In other words, we packed our trip with a different adventure every day and were very happy to have such a comfortable and attractive place to return to each evening. Many thanks for John and Catrin for their hospitality. Ross & the Gang

Great View

We are a family of 5 and really enjoyed our stay. The house was spacious, conveniently located just a few minute's drive from Zion (off the main road but quiet) and having 2.5 baths plus W&D was an added bonus. Relaxing on the patio looking up at the Zion mountains as the sun set was a fabulous way to end our day. We would definitely return! My only suggestion would be to replace the curtains (or add blinds) in the master bedroom as the current curtains leave a gap in the middle allowing light from another residence to hit you in the face when trying to go to sleep.

Beautiful home - wonderful location

This is a lovely home and we enjoyed it immensely! Highly recommend. Just a note for future renters- it is in a complex of rentals and so surrounded by other rental properties -however the larger backyard gives this home more visual space. Everything everyone else said is true!

Perfect Get-a-Way

I planned a sibling reunion in Utah, starting at Moab, then on to Bryce Canyon and this was the last leg of the trip. The house is super clean and comfortable. Location was perfect as it offered such close proximity to restaurants and shopping. The backyard was so very relaxing after early morning hikes. There were three chickens that we named "Breakfast," "Lunch," and "Dinner," and whenever they saw us, they decided to see if they could convince us to share our food. That did not happen, but every time we saw them coming, we would comment that "here comes Dinner." The accommodations were perfect. The TV was not working and we do like our evening news, but certainly not a deal breaker as everything else was fabulous, and we were there for the hikes in the Narrows and Emerald Pools, among others, and we could catch up with the news on our electronic devices.

Relaxing and Beautiful

This was a wonderful place to stay while visiting Zion. The home was beautiful, clean and relaxing. We loved sitting outside and enjoying the view of the park (and the free range chickens and deer that wandered through the property were an added bonus). It is also conveniently located - we could just walk to the grocery, shops or shuttle if needed. Would definitely recommend!

Peaceful Zion Getaway

We loved the theme and feel of this house. Our son loved hitting the gong and the living area is open and roomy. The patio is huge and there's a large yard. We saw a doe and her fawn each day. Zion shuttle stop is nearby as well as several restaurants and a grocery store right on the corner that was very helpful. We would stay here again but bring more friends or family.

Bridal Zen

I booked this property for the bridal party of my best friends wedding! The bridal party stayed here the entire time and we used this house as the bridal suite to get ready for the wedding. Between the breathtaking mountain view of Zion through the window walls and the beautiful backyard we ended up with BEAUTIFUL bridal photos. The bride could not have been more relaxed as she soaked up the glorious chi this property has to offer. This community is nice and quiet, easily accessible and within walking distance of the grocery store, coffee shop and restaurants!

We could not have asked for a better place to stay for our girls hiking trip in Zion. The house has open spaces, beautiful light and comfortable beds, and the patio was a welcomed retreat for yoga and dinners in the evening.

Perfect place

We loved Nama-stay! The house is beautiful and very nicely stocked. When we weren’t hiking Zion, we pretty much lived on the expansive patio, which comfortably seats 12. The views are gorgeous from the living room, one of the bedrooms and patio. It was great to be a close walk to the grocery store and fun restaurants. My husband and I stayed here with our two adult daughters, celebrating a birthday. We all agreed that this was one of our favorite places!

About the host

Hosted by Catrin and Jonathan Zambella

Host profile image
Catrin and Jonathan Zambella have lived in Springdale, UT, at the footsteps of Zion National Park since 1996. With their son Massimo, they host your visits to Zion and the grandeur of Southern Utah. Catrin, originally from Switzerland, inspired the Zen-like feel of Nama-Stay and spends her time home schooling Massimo, studying natural healing practices, and exploring the summits of Zion National Park. Since 1996, Jonathan offers custom, exclusive canyoneering, climbing, hiking and deluxe tours as Zion Guru and NamaGuides. Massimo helps us maintain our child-like spirit of investigation and recreation, and charms visitors into playful respites. We live humbly in a loft-style apartment on the Nama-Stay property and look forward to serving you the best Zion has to offer.

Why they chose this property

In the late 80's Mark Austin and the former owners design and built the house that is now Nama-Stay on a remote lot surrounded by forest and horse pastures. Though Springdale has grown a great deal since that time, Nama-Stay maintains its quaint nature of a ranch house and privacy of an off street home. Nama-Stay was built aligned north-south, with great summer shade and winter sun, with gasping views and privacy all the same.

What makes this property unique

Hardwood red oak, cherry, and bamboo floors throughout. Open layout with vaulted ceilings, eight-foot picture windows, and room for Yoga, Qigong, meditation, executive meetings, and specialty groups. Amazing acoustics throughout. Extensive front and backyard patio spaces. Private, quiet, yet conveniently located minutes from shopping, restaurants, and Park activities.
