I do not recommend staying with Beth. Her demeanor towards us put a damper on part of our trip.

The primary reason for our unpleasant experience is that Beth accused us of breaking one of the house rules (i.e. no extra guests) and lying to her about it. One of our three REGISTERED guests spent the night at the Sheraton (where we had attended a wedding) and in the morning took a cab back to Beth's where the guest ran inside to retrieve money to pay the driver. Beth then accused us of breaking the rules by hosting an additional, unregistered guest and attempted to procure an additional guest fee from us. Of course, the "extra guest" was simply the third REGISTERED guest being dropped off. I had to insist that she come to speak with us in person (where she greeted me with "I don't like being lied to") instead of simply texting us with curt replies such as "Please leave by 10am" and she wasn't convinced that we hadn't broken any rules until I repeatedly invited her to inspect the extra beds (which, of course, had not been slept in). Beth then explained that she had been burned recently by "young people" and her gardener, which she seemed to suggest had colored her disposition towards us. My friends and I are all old enough to vote, drink, drive, rent a car, serve jury duty, open our own bank accounts, serve in our armed forces, read, write, etc. None of us are her gardener. Also, it shouldn't matter at all what age we are or appear to be or what someone else did to her in the past. Having paid the quoted fee in full, we should have been treated the with deference and respect that seemingly older guests would have been treated.

The secondary reason for our negative feedback is Beth's general demeanor to us. We felt, prior to the incident cited above, that she seemed to be "trying to catch us doing something" (for lack of a better phrase). Admittedly, perhaps this feeling was exacerbated (or confirmed) by the above-mentioned incident, but it is indeed how we felt during our stay.

In the spirit of complete candor, I did break one rule: I left a light on for an extended period of time. This is 100% my fault as I was unfamiliar with the light switches and failed to turn off an exterior light. Aside from this, I think we were perfectly fine guests - especially since we were practically only on-premises to sleep and occasionally eat. If Beth has other complaints about us, I would not be surprised given her suspicious and accusatory attitude towards "young people."

In fairness, Beth's listing was completely accurate as described: clean, comfortable and conveniently located. And, had we appeared to be old enough to be trusted, I'm sure Beth would have been more than sweet and accommodating. These are the reasons I will not be giving her one star.
