Not as pictured

I was very disappointed in being shown a picture of a large house thinking that is what I booked. When we got there, it was actually the cottage behind the large house in the picture. I would not have even known that we were in the cottage, unless I spoke to the owner, the day of inquiring about a question. She told me to take the keys from the back of the house and open up the cottage, and those were our accommodations. The interior pictures on VRBO were accurate, but the outside picture was not the house that we booked. I was very embarrassed when my guests got there, and I told them to go to the small cottage behind the large house after showing them the photo of what I was sent.
