Meet the Innkeepers

When asked by guests if we had always wanted to be Innkeepers, the answer is no. We like to say that we think Innkeeping found us and that this is, with all due humility, what we were born to do!

Ray grew up in Fall River with his 2 brothers and 3 sisters. He graduated from Durfee High School and was 89th in his class alphabetically! After graduation from Bridgewater State University, Ray was a 7th grade English teacher. Ray realized that wasn’t for him and went in another direction working in corporate America for Mattel Toys.

Judy grew up in Hialeah, FL and moved to Massachusetts during her teenage years. After moving back to MA in 1966 upon graduating from high school went to Northeastern University. She held various jobs at Liberty Mutual, Alden Products and Pharmacy Corp. of America where she ended her career there as billing and customer service supervisor.

While on a Mattel-sponsored business trip to the Cayman Islands, the idea of owning an inn began. After we returned home from the trip, we started looking at various options, attended aspiring innkeepers’ conferences and stayed in numerous inns in New England. In the end, we thought hospitality would suit us. Our home in Brockton was always hosting large gatherings. Family cookouts, holiday parties and weddings to name a few.
