From Maine to Colonial Williamsburg About our Williamsburg Inn and your hostsThe Black Badger Inn is celebrating its eighth year and continues to be 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, to create a comfortable, home-style Williamsburg Inn with a unique flare in décor and service, was realized after six months of hard work. We want to make your stay as enjoyable as possible in an atmosphere of southern hospitality and Yankee ingenuity.
Your Hosts Derek and Rosalind have just celebrated 25 years of marriage and enjoy a rich family life.
