I liked the location overlooking the salt marsh, the colors of the Inn that blend into the trees instead of offering a stark contrast as do the newer condos and apartments. The house staff are very friendly and front desk very welcoming. I also liked looking out at the pony corral in the morning, the 2 cats that seem to travel across the paddocks, and the well maintained facilities.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Refuge Inn. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The pool, sauna, and exercise room were very nice to have available as the weather for our three day stay was not the best. The little extras, like the deck, beautiful landscaping and the horses make the Refuge the perfect choice. We hope to come back someday.

Wonderful hotel with spacious rooms. Refuge ponies are right at the hotel. Beautiful views of the marshes and great gardens and pool. Assateague Island is within walking/biking distance. Bike rentals are available right next door. Staff were friendly and helpful. We plan to return in the future and recommend this hotel.

Wonderful location, great staff and the ponies on site were a highlight. Loved sitting on our patio enjoying the view.

This is our second time traveling to Chincoteague and both times we stayed at the Refuge Inn! We absolutely love it here. The most important thing to me is cleanliness, and the rooms are spotless here. The location and property is beautiful and allows you to truly escape the business of life. We look forward to returning next year

Everything about this place is great except that the floor in our room was durty and they don't clean it when they come to pick up the trash as well as the AC and the mini refrigerator were so laud we ended up turning them off so we can sleep. Thanks God nights were cooler. Not sure if all rooms are like this. Other than that very friendly and welcoming people.

amazing setting
4.7
Our stay at Refuge Inn was fabulous. The location is wonderful for accessing Assateague Island and food was easily reached on the main thoroughfare. The hotel was clean and the staff very friendly. We enjoyed the pool, the rooftop area, and we loved visiting the ponies on property.
Our ONLY complaint was that the fitness room was only accessible on the hours of the office (8 am-10pm) as you need a physical key to enter. We are just early morning exercisers with consideration of having small children with us.
We would gladly return to Refuge Inn for a future visit.

Refuge Inn was a delight. Front desk ladies very friendly & helpful, the room was very nicely decorated & clean. The best part to me was the beautiful flowers & plants all around the grounds. And of course the whole purpose of the trip, seeing the wild ponies. Would certainly stay here again.

This is our second time staying at this property, and we loved it just as much as the first! The beach nearby is our favorite beach to come to now in the summer, and this hotel makes it all the better. With their free breakfast and friendly service, its impossible to not like. We will stay here always when we come to visit the town and the beach.
4.7
We loved staying here! It was very clean and charming. You could smell the ocean from the balcony. They have ponies right outside that you can feed. The pool was beautiful and well maintained. The front desk was amazing and gave us a ton of information on local fun activities for our kids. Will definitely stay here again!

Refuge Inn is AMAZING! From the staff to the ponies right outside to the cute room to the delivered breakfast to the proximity to all the great activities and locations of Chincoteague! My mom and I went on a trip here during pony penning week and it did not disappoint.

We had a nice stay at The Refuge Inn. The rooms were quiet and dark at night and the bed was very comfortable. The location is at in a quiet section of Chincoteague. My husband found some lovely viewing areas of the marsh on the property. We highly recommend at stay here!

Overall, this was a good choice of hotel. The room was clean, updated and comfortable with adequate space. The staff was friendly. The ponies on the property were a lovely surprise. It was fun to be able to see and pet them every day. We didn't use the pool, but it looked nice and was convenient. The weather was very hot and humid during our 2 day stay...the room and lobby AC were fine, but the common areas were not air conditioned, so coming and going from the room you did need to walk through very humid halls. There is no elevator, so we had to walk to the second floor where our room was. That was a challenge trying to carry cups of coffee up from the lobby and open the hallway doors. Breakfast was delivered in paper bags...I'm guessing because the common areas were so hot, but I'm not sure. I didn't actually see a dining area. Breakfast wasn't terrific. "Fresh fruit" was an apple, orange, or banana (their choice, not yours). "Assorted pastries" was a small, pre-packaged scone. There was fresh coffee, but you had to go to the lobby to get it. If anything needed an upgrade, it was surely the breakfast. That wouldn't stop us from staying here again, but some better choices would be a plus. All-in-all we were pleased with Refuge Inn...even a bad breakfast can't ruin having the ponies to wake up to every morning!

We go ever year. Every room is very pretty and unique.

We were on the second floor with a view of the ponies. We aren't used to the humidity so having the room pre-cooled for our arrival was excellent. The complimentary breakfast was a nice treat and housekeeping was very respectful and kind.

This was our first time in the area. I want to return and stay here again.

Lovely and charming older property that is well maintained. Lots of amenities, and a different more relaxed vibe than a typical hotel. Our only issue was the ancient air conditioning. While the rest of the facilities had been fairly well updated and well kept, the wall a/c unit was probably installed during the Nixon administration, rattled constantly, and blew just as much hot air. Even with the a/c on high with low temp, room still required the separate (provided) dehumidifier, but we had to bring in our own fan for the far side of the room. The rules and regulations are rather amusing, if not a wee bit militant sounding. We enjoyed our stay, but I don’t know that I could have been there more than one night.
4.7
We have stayed at the Refuge Inn many times, and it’s even better than we remembered. Wonderful property and staff. So well appointed and well run. Thank you!

The Refuge Inn became our refuge! We completely relaxed for the week we were there. It was so clean and quiet. The staff and cleaning people were so friendly and helpful. The gift shop was better than expected! Breakfast was delivered to our door every morning. The proximity to the beach and wildlife refuge can’t be beat! We could walk across the road for the best shrimp salad on the Island (at Blackfin), and there were beautiful ponies across the parking lot. We couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay.

Helpful and greatly accommodating stayed! I will stay again in this hotel
4.7
We were comfortable with everything about this hotel. A microwave in the room would be a plus. The beds were comfortable but maybe a bit old. Aside from that the hotel was great.

Nice place
