Governor's Trace B&B

Governor's Trace Bed & Breakfast, a Georgian-style brick home completed during the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg, sits on over half an acre and lies at the hub of early life in Williamsburg, Virginia. It faces what was then the main road of commerce to and from the English ships docked about a mile away. Artifacts from both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars have been found on the property. The house is furnished with an eclectic collection of family antiques and "found" treasures acquired during 24 years of travel. Bedrooms are reflections of Colonial, Early American and Southern Plantation. Governor's Trace shares a living history today with her illustrious neighbor Colonial Williamsburg and is just a one minute walk from George Washington's favorite tavern - Christiana Campbell's. According to an article in the Washington Post, Governor's Trace "...vies for the most romantic (B&B in Williamsburg)."

    Photo Album

    Use the in-house board games or enjoy the diverse library in the FRANCIS NICHOLSON room’s comfortable sitting area or discover the time to finish that novel you’ve been carrying around.Guests who stay in the FRANCIS NICHOLSON room often tell their hosts that they hurry back just to enjoy the evening on their own private porch.
    Each morning brings a different offering to the table---and always by candlelight just for the two of you.The ALEXANDER SPOTSWOOD room has both a wood burning fireplace for those seasonal cold nights and a private screened-in porch where breakfast is served in warmer weather.  The porch overlooks a large crepe myrtle and is a perfect place to savor an evening together by candlelight.
    Romance lives at Governor’s Trace but the BARON de BOTETOURT room seems to be  particularly charmed  as engagements have always been successful, honeymoons memorable, and anniversaries filled with sweet recollections.Collecting has always been a passion for the innkeepers and they willingly share their knowledge of local places to continue or begin collections of your own.
    Governor’s Trace is known for its attention to detail and its romantic nature has been commented on by the 	 WASHINGTON POST.
