Great Getaway
Really awesome experience. Very modern facilities. However, picture on VRBO misrepresents the room you actually get. The one pictured on VRBO is the top floor unit, which is what I thought I reserved, but was on a lower and smaller room, which was still very nice. It just would have been nice to see what I was getting through VRBO, which is usually the case. I didn’t see a disclaimer on the site, but maybe I just missed it.
