This was the perfect place to stay when visiting Chincoteague. Not only is it close to the National Assateague Park, but it is such a lovely inn. The rooms are very comfortable, clean, and decorated with such a wonderful touch. The property has beautiful places to relax, a pool, an exercise room, and a hot tub. The best part for me was being able to visit their horses right on the inn’s property. I can’t wait to go back!

This is a very nice hotel in a location that makes it easy to get to the Assateague beaches and several good eating places. Parking is easy, check in was a breeze, and the staff is very friendly. We parked and used our bikes to get around... never needed to drive. The hotel beds are firm (my preference), but not too hard, and the pillows are big and comfortable. They offer breakfast included with the price that they deliver to your room on the schedule you request... breakfast croissant, cereal, yogurt, fruit juices and coffee. The room has a one cup coffee maker, but there is coffee at the front desk all the time. The area is very quiet and safe... we locked our bikes in the rack out side of our room, but probably didn't need to. There is a nice heated pool in a greenhouse type structure and a great hot tub easily big enough for four... towels are provided at the pool. Ponies are at the location right beside the hotel if you want to feed or visit them... although not Chincoteague ponies. You can get to see the Chincoteague wild ponies by driving/riding/walking about a mile or so over onto Assateague island. We would certainly stay here again!

Thank you so much for your detailed and kind review. By the way, those were indeed real Chincoteague Ponies that you visited here at our hotel! Dating back to the beginning of the Refuge Inn, the founders of the Refuge Inn have been heavily involved in the preservation of the Chincoteague Pony herd and we're lucky enough to have a few of them here as our welcoming party! All of us, at the Refuge Inn, are glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you back again sometime.

What a nice surprise. It was too cold to enjoy patio or tables outside but will enjoy another time. Staff very friendly and helpful. Loved no contact breakfast. They brought breakfast to our door!

A great place to stay on Chincoteague. The facility has a rustic feel but the rooms are up-to-date and very comfortable. It's a great location near the bridge to Assateague. A perfect location for watching rocket launches.

Staff was friendly and courteous especially Sharon at check-in. So happy with everything including cleanliness of the property, although mosquitoes were horrible but as expected. Glad I brought bug spray. A little more selection for brown bag breakfast but still delicious especially the bacon, egg and cheese croissant which was homemade not a prepackaged item. The scones were wonderful just having something else for three days would've been nice but still very good. The location was perfect for walking or biking everywhere which I did do, except for trip to main st. I'd come back for many more times to come especially to see the running of the ponies on Assateague. Thank you for the hospitality
