Absolutely loved the views and the outdoor space as well. All was clean and kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need. Lots of seating for dining was great as well. ##### Julie C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary G. Mar 14, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful views above Queenstown The house was perfect for my family with four bedrooms and three bathrooms! We enjoyed the living space especially the lovely back nook with all the sunlight! The house was clean and comfortable with lots of character, but a few of the beds were too soft and lumpy. The location provided amazing views but we didn’t realize the huge hill between us and the town which made walking home a challenge. The host was friendly and accommodating! ##### Mary G.
