If you're seeking a getaway that promises breathtaking surroundings and the perfect amount of solitude, there are few places as captivating as the Refuge Inn.
The feel of the property is elegant yet simple, with touches of luxury such as the on-site swimming pool and hot tub where you could easily spend hours relaxing.
Of course, the best amenity of all is your proximity to the beach. No matter the time of year you visit, you'll love taking a peaceful stroll along the coast.
It's uncertain how these ponies got to Chincoteague, but many believe they originated from the shipwrecked Spanish galleon making its way to South America hundreds of years ago.
Today, these ponies are iconic symbols of Chincoteague and Assateauge Island, and you'll be able to admire them when you stay at the inn.
