Wonderful area, terrible experience

Overall, this is a lovely historic house in wonderful condition. The beds, linens were very clean and comfortable. Downsides- the road construction is occurring right in front of the house and is very loud. All..day..long. I travel with my daughters and were met by the owner's husband who insisted on keeping the key in the lockbox. Totally inappropriate and unsafe for female travelers. Upon check-in, my 2nd daughter had decided to stay with us- last minute decision which garnered a rather hostile call from the manager for the additional payment. Not a problem from my side since we all know that travel plans can change. But it was stated very clearly that they typically host 'senior citizen couples'. As a 60 year old female traveler with my daughter- I felt very unwelcome. No easy access to bring luggage in except though the pea gravel yard. Sidewalk to parking is inaccessible. There is only one entrance to the home.There's also a roach problem in the house- we killed 3 during our stay. It all was enough for us to depart a day early. Sorry, I cannot recommend. Never have been treated so poorly before- I am an educated working professional and certainly didn't deserve the attitude.
