VISIT WILD PONIES

Just minutes away

There are several theories of how the ponies got to Assateague and adapted to the unique challenges that come with barrier island life. The wild horses are a sight to behold, and definitely belong on your bucket list! We're also happy to host our own small herd of Chincoteague ponies at the Inn for our visitors to enjoy.

BILL GOODWIN
It was a pleasure to see you again and stay at the Refuge Inn, the most charming hotel in Chincoteague.
PAMELA S.
I have stayed at The Refuge Inn several times and it never disappoints. The Rooms are clean and very comfortable with plenty of linens. The staff is very friendly and professional. Location is great! Very close to Assateague (almost walking distance) with lots of restaurants nearby. I definitely will be staying there again.
