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 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.

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.

We loved this place! There is much care in the little things. Real furniture in the room, enough towels, nice soap and shampoo, coffee and tea all day, nice pool, and just that extra touch with everything. It is walkable distance to the National Park and just enough away from the busy beach stores. Staff was very helpful!

The Refuge Inn is the place to stay if you really want to relax near the park and have interactions by the pool with other interesting visitors like yourself!
Bike Rental next store puts you in the driver's seat to visit the Wildlife Refuge right across the causeway.

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

Last stop before entering the island. Made it very easy to bike around. Enjoyed the flowers and landscaping and the hot tub was nice after a day out on the island. Breakfast was nice idea but sandwich was stale.

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.

Nice place, nice staff. It would have been nice if it had an elevator if only for loading and unloading your luggage.

Have not stayed at The Refuge Inn for years and was delighted to find that it remains such an excellent accommodation and so close to the National Seashore and Wildlife Refuge. It remains affordable and very very well maintained. Morning breakfast delivered to your room is superb. Number one location in Chincoteague for me.

We had the most relaxing time at the Refuge and loved the breakfast delivered to our room and the closeness to the island. We jumped on the bike trail every morning and rode through Assateague. We had a fabulous time. We will be back soon.

We loved our stay for the weekend. My kids especially loved the ponies next door. The facilities were very clean and conveniently located close to shops, restaurants, and a short drive to the Chincoteague Beach. Our rooms were very nice and comfy. We loved having breakfast delivered to our room too. It was a nice touch.

We had a great stay at the Refuge Inn in August 2024! The inn is an older, quaint property that has been thoughtfully updated and is well-maintained. Our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The staff were all very kind and helpful!
We really enjoyed the pool, which is warm and large enough for several groups to enjoy. It is partially shaded and surrounded by beautiful landscaping. We also liked being able to interact with the ponies that live at the inn; the bike shop sells food for them if you want to feed them.
The property is in a great location, just across the bridge from the Chincoteague National Wildlife Reserve, making it an easy walk, bike ride, or drive to get across to see the wild ponies and visit the beach. There are several restaurants and shops in walking distance too.
A couple of things to be aware of - if you have any difficulty with stairs be sure to ask for a first floor room when you book, there are no elevators. Additionally, pack your bug spray as the whole area has lots of mosquitoes, gnats, deer flies, and horse flies - they are well controlled around the hotel buildings and pool, but if you venture past the parking lot or want to go anywhere but the beach on the wildlife reserve you definitely need some bug repellent!

2.5 / 5.0
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.
5.0 / 5.0
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!
