Getaway on Wheatstrand was a wonderful location for a quick trip during the week of Christmas. Everything was very clean and there were plenty of amenities within the house. It was a very cozy and comfortable home, had a great view of the Galena Territory, and walkable distance from the Owner's Club. I'm certain we'll be back!
Pool was closed due to timing of our stay, but who would have thought it was going to be 90 in October. Rooms were great size and the deck was perfect to enjoy. Location to down town was great only being 8 -10min drive. Kitchen had everything you would need to prep and cook.
