We loved our stay here. You can even drive to assateague in about an hour and see the ponies on the island. It isnt a bad drive. And Chincoteague park is right there. You can walk or bike in easily. It was cold when i was there so we just drove into the park. One thing i knocked off my bucket list of things i want to do

The Refuge Inn is a beautiful little hotel in Chincoteague. In particular, the indoor pool area was a gem. It's a heated pool in a greenhouse like enclosure. The pool is clean and surrounded by plants that were brought in for the winter. At night, there was steam coming off the pool, creating a lovely atmosphere.

We stay here often. The property is very convenient to the entrance to the Chincoteague Refuge. Many restaurants are close by too. The rooms are large and decorated nicely as well as extremely clean and well-maintained. Check-in is easy and staff is very pleasant. Breakfast is brought to your room and fresh coffee is near the registration office.

Enjoyable Stay

We enjoyed our recent one night stay at the Refuge Inn. Check-in was quick and easy. The lobby, hallways and our room were all well-maintained and clean. Our room looked like it was recently renovated. The bed was comfortable and it was nice to have two chairs to relax in and a small dining area to have our breakfast. Luckily, the weather was warm enough to enjoy the balcony in the afternoon.

Room and cleanliness were top notch. What a comfortable bed! Shower and bathroom perfect. Front desk staff were about the friendliest I've ever spoken with. Coffee was good! hot, and put out nice and early for us stargazers. Nice breakfast too. We made use of the rooftop deck every day, several times a day. Also the back deck to check the stars early morn and late eve every day. We were extremely happy to see that you still have the roof deck! And that the ponies and bikes are still just across the parking lot. We are definitely coming back! Thank you for all the thoughtful touches- it was noted and much appreciated.
