The Black Badger Inn is the newest Bed and Breakfast in Williamsburg and is the culmination of our heart’s desire. For many years we have cherished the idea of running a B&B. We searched for the right place starting in our home state of Maine.

It was during a trip through Virginia that we "stumbled" on this lovely house in one of our favorite places. With a little effort we were able to purchase the property and begin a total redecorating of the house. Our hope is to create a comfortable, home-style B&B with a unique flare in décor and service. We want to make your stay as enjoyable as possible in an atmosphere of southern hospitality and Yankee ingenuity.

Derek and Rosalind have been married for almost 20 years and enjoy a family life with two children, Alexis, a junior at Bates College, ME and Jeremy-Ruth, a senior at York High School, ME. Our family has lived in Massachusetts, Atlanta, Georgia and York, Maine. We have traveled extensively in Eastern United States and Europe. Almost every year we make a trip to England where we tour the country and stay at B&Bs.

Derek has a background in marketing and sales. He grew up in the DC area but also lived in Hong Kong and Australia. His hobbies are tennis and golf, and jogging.

Rosalind is an artist with a BFA from the Boston Museum School. Her artistic endeavors are now in contemporary art quilts and has had shows and is featured in art galleries in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
