Pony pasture mornings, marsh-view evenings

The Refuge Inn keeps things easy with family-owned warmth and an old-school island vibe, trading corporate sameness for rooms with individual character. Days naturally revolve around the resident Chincoteague ponies out by the pines, plus a year-round indoor/outdoor pool that shifts with the seasons. Breakfast arrives bagged and right at the door, so mornings start calmly and on schedule.
