The new owners bring with them a wealth of knowledge in marketing, advertising and hospitality experience from their past careers. As a marketing executive, Jim has launched some of Showtime Network’s most popular series, including DEXTER, NURSE JACKIE, HOMELAND, RAY DONOVAN and SHAMELESS. Having grown up running the family’s motel business in Montauk, Doug received his BS in Hospitality Management and went on to manage franchise hotels across the country. But now, looking to journey on a new path, the two were ready for a change of pace and a more simple way of life. Doug & Jim are excited for their new adventure and are eager to carry on the traditions and services that have been associated with Devonfield Inn for many years as well as introducing some new features and services that capitalize on their own passions which include, baking, gardening, and theatre.

Having come to the Berkshires and visiting the inn back in November 2017, it was love at first sight – the two knew this was the right place. Packing their Jeep Wrangler and their three dogs (Elliott, Stella and Blanche) Doug & Jim (and the dogs) are living in the house adjacent to the inn and welcome the 2-minute commute after years of battling trains, cars and subways traveling to work in New York City.
