Honestly, I can say that the experience was the best. Gari and Matt are so incredibly helpful and kind. They knew it was my birthday weekend and went out of the way to have a few little surprises for me in the room. I was blown away at the kindness of an upgraded room, the cleanliness of the entire Inn, the communication, the amenities, and just everything. It was all just so so wonderful that my wife and I are already planning to come back. If you are planning on staying anywhere nearby, check here first, and you will not be disappointed!Rooms: The rooms are immaculately clean and tidy.Walkability: So much to do and see within walking distance. Many good places to eat!Noteworthy details: The owners are such kind and friendly people. They say they want you to have the best time and they mean it.

A gem of an Inn in the quiet, quaint small town of Urbanna, VA. The Innkeepers/owners, Gari and Matt, were generous, kind, and accommodating. They made our visit a 5 star adventure, from the personalized welcome letter, to a tray of snacks, a warm bathrobe, bicycles to explore the town, and pet friendly accommodations with pet beds and water bowls awaiting our pups’ arrival. Everything was great! The Chesapeake Inn is only 2 hours from the chaos of Northen Virginia and not to be missed for a quick getaway when needing some peace, tranquility, and relaxation. Once there, it’s a two minute walk to several delicious restaurants and small shops, and a quick five minute walk to the river. The bed, linens, and towels were super comfy, the shower piping hot, and Wi-Fi dependable. A beautifully decorated lobby invites guests to mingle while relaxing comfortably. Thank you for a great visit!

My family stayed at The Chesapeake Inn this past Saturday, October 14 thru Sunday, October 15 and I can’t wait to return. This Inn is one of a kind and has everything for everyone, including your pets. The first thing that caught my eye was the beautifully designed lobby. It’s lively, fun, and classy. It also has children’s toys which I thought was a great touch. My daughter and I loved their shop called Ballgown Barefoot and we were able to purchase some take home goodies. Each room has a different theme and ours Nautical. We slept amazing and truly felt at home. The last thing I want to mention is the owners and staff. Gari and Matt are genuinely great people. We appreciated the time they took out of their day to sit and chat with us. It’s hard to find owners who try and get to know their visitors. The staff was fantastic. Any accommodation or request we asked for was no issue for them. I can’t say enough great things about this place and will recommend to everyone.

Looking forward to the next opportunity to stay here….and for much longer.A last minute need for an accommodation had us calling here where they’d just had a last minute cancellation for the weekend, lucky us!Quaint and well appointed establishment where it’s obvious that Gari and Matt care very deeply for your comfort and convenience.Our arrival to the lobby and our room reminded us of a House and Garden magazine cover.Our room was lit and cool after a long day on the road. There was a welcoming note and letter explaining the many features from activities, games and books as well as offerings of snacks and local places for food and drinks for day and night.The room was very clean, cozy and inviting. Quite possibly the fluffiest, comfortable bed we’ve ever slept in…. Like a dream.This establishment is a gem!

WOW! WOW! WOW!The Chesapeake Inn is an incredibly unique experience! We were delighted to check-in to a NON cookie cutter hotel room. And we were overjoyed with all the detail to each guest room. The bedding was decadent! As were the bath towels and robes. We had a basket of treats, fabulous soaps and shampoos and a full size refrigerator with water. Local reading material was also provided. A personalized hand written note was sitting on the table upon our arrival. The room was VERY clean.Everyone we met was so warm and welcoming! They were genuinely happy to see us. The lobby is outrageously chic and eclectic. Stunning pieces of repurposed and antique furniture. Original artistry spotted the walls. I actually wanted to sit in every. single. chair! AND....free coffee and free chocolate kisses, OH MY!There were bikes available (ride at your own risk) and surreys (but not working at the time). Wonderful outside seating every where! There were even full size umbrellas in a stand outside the rooms if needed!!! Details that mattered!The only thing that gave the room 4 stars was our bathtub was dripping steadily all night and the shower head was rickety. An easy fix on a weekday, I'm sure.I would definitely drive 7 hours again just to stay at the Chesapeake Inn. Loved it so much. Worth every penny.

We have stayed at the Chesapeake Inn several times, and always feel welcomed and taken care of. During COVID the new owners renovated the rooms to make them more attractive and comfortable. They even welcome your pups! We highly recommend the Inn when visiting the Urbanna area, and are already looking forward to our next visit.

My wife and I were looking for a drivable weekend getaway. Friend suggested Urbana for a low key visit. The Chesapeake Inn was really the only thing in town and it had good reviews. I must say that it was pretty nice. Not your typical hotel, if you are looking for that.. Seems to be a upgraded/converted lodge type inn. To say that the staff was accommodating, is an understatement. I can only compare it to a Concierge experience I had while traveling with a wealthy friend. The room itself was elegant. High ceilings, tasteful furniture, fresh flowers, visually very impressive. My wife loved it. I loved the Uber comfortable bed , the TV had plenty of channels and I was able to adjust the room temp just right. Plenty of walkable casual dining options.. They also offer a slew of cool bikes to use, but unfortunately they were all in need of some maintenance. Overall it was a great experience.. Really first class in a small quaint town. 100% recommend it.

We were so fortunate to find a “pearl” in an oyster in Urbanna. The Chesapeake Inn, in the middle of this little village, is so lovely with exquisite accommodations. Every detail, from the beautiful linens, bathrobes, welcome basket, and decor is impressive. On the property there are bikes available to use. There is also a lovely garden/grassy area for relaxing.On registering, the staff was so welcoming. Rachel was very friendly and was there to help with places to see and restaurants that were near. We also met Gary, one of the owners. She and her daughter talked about the Inn and plans for its future. We wish them much success.When in Urbanna check out the Chesapeake Inn. It is a rare find.

Highly recommend The Chesapeake Inn. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. The Inn itself is gorgeous from the rooms, outside, lobby/office area and everything in between. Very family and kid friendly as well. We will definitely be back!!!
