At The Inn
The Inn compound is in the middle of the quaint tiny town of Urbanna, surrounded by shops and restaurants and only short stroll to the water. Our main building includes our restaurant (coming soon!), the Rappahannock Room (our event space and yoga room), our lobby/living room, conference room and Ballgown Barefoot, our shop.
the living room
The Inn’s Lobby/Living room, which also includes our check-in desk, is designed to be a space our guests can feel comfortable relaxing in. With a variety of seating areas, it is spacious enough for multiple groups to use it at once.
The living room includes local literature and a library of childrens toys (blocks, legos and magnatiles). We also have a collection of modern and vintage games for families, children and adults. At the same time, our guests often use the Living Room’s tables as an office away from home.
Finally, the living room features our Keurig machine, which features an extensive selection of coffees, hot chocolate, tea and even cider in season.

at the inn
Our shop is carefully curated with not only a number of branded Chesapeake Inn items (don’t be shocked if you want to bring one of our fabulous robes home) but also a selection of inspiring gifts, self care tools and home décor. Find the perfect gift to bring home to your children or something special to help you remember your weekend away.
Our new restaurant is coming in the spring of 2024 — get ready for some delicious oysters and MUCH more! In the meantime we in Urbanna are lucky enough to have 5 other wonderful restaurants just steps away from the Inn!
the rappahannock room
Our Rappahannock Room is designed to meet a variety of needs. It serves as a second living room for guests wanting a little quieter experience, but it also hosts our signature oyster experiences, sound baths, group meetings and other classes. And our onsite yoga instructor also leads classes there — yes, yoga under a chandelier and beside silk curtains is a thing!
The Rappahannock Room is available for rent for special events; depending on configuration, it holds up to 40 for a seated meal or meeting.
The Conference Room
Our Walter Sams Conference Room isn’t your everyday meeting space – yes, it has a large table that sits 14 and is appropriate for board meetings, private dinners and small classes, but more than that, it is literally a fun place to gather – it has an industrial vibe with high ceilings, brick walls and the Inn’s original garage lamps from when it was a Coca-Cola bottling plant. All those bricks are balanced by the room’s pastel antique stained glass windows from an old church give it a uniquely beachy feel.
the outdoors
Our Garden is large enough to allow guests to relax – or play an outdoor game of cornhole. Sit among the hydrangeas and butterflies and read a book or just relax while your children play with our giant yard games.
Use one of our bikes to explore Urbanna’s quiet streets – our stable includes surrey carriages, bikes, trikes and even a tandem bike. And our kayaks are a fabulous way to explore the Urbanna Creek and the Rappahannock River (luckily we have enough so no guest has ever had to wait to use a kayak!). We have sit on, sit in, and tandem kayaks.
And remember, guests are never charged for the use of any of our toys:)
