Situated along the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal, the Dogfish INN acts as an off-centered basecamp for beer lovers and adventure seekers alike (like there’s a difference). The INN embraces modern style and convenience while celebrating a bygone era of family vacations, big cars and endless summers. Designed by Studio Tack in Brooklyn, N.Y., the INN features 16 rooms filled with thoughtful, beer-centric amenities and design elements. You'll find screen prints of beer labels from our music collaborations, as well as a treasure hunt of sorts created by local artist Steve Rogers. Somewhere in each room, you’ll find a different print of the historic Lightship Overfalls. A National Historic Landmark and one of only 17 lightships remaining, the Lightship Overfalls is docked just down the street in Canal Front Park. Each room is equipped with a mini-fridge and is stocked with curated snacks, plus, there's a free mini-growler that’s yours to keep so you can bring back your favorite brews from our brewery and brewpub. Retro American-made beach chairs and Apolis tote bags are ready for trips to the local beaches.

The cottage features a library curated by the renowned City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco. You can borrow or buy a beach read or a heavy hitter. At night, gather on the patio around the Cowboy Cauldron and count shooting stars with your friends and family. The next morning, enjoy complimentary Basecamp Blend coffee, a custom blend roasted by our friends at Rise Up. With all these thoughtful touches, it'd be tempting to stay inside. But to help guests get out and about, we've got bikes for guests to borrow, E-bikes available for rent, and we put together a treasure map highlighting local landmarks. With the kayak launch in Canal Front Park, the nearby Junction & Breakwater Trail, and Cape Henlopen State Park, the INN acts as a diving board to go deep into the beauty of coastal Delaware by bike, by hike, by paddleboard, by boat, by golly.

We had the most wonderful overnight birthday getaway at Dogfish Inn, and it absolutely did not disappoint!
From the start, booking was quick, easy, and very reasonably priced. When we arrived, we were immediately impressed by the clean, modern, beautifully updated rooms. The thoughtful little details throughout the space truly made the stay feel special and intentional.

A special shoutout to Colleen at the front desk — she was so friendly and welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Customer service like that makes all the difference!

We especially loved relaxing by the fire pit, the fun touch of the beer soap (such a unique detail!), and the incredibly comfy bed. And the extra special birthday message on the door? That truly made me feel celebrated and so appreciated. It was such a thoughtful gesture that meant so much.

We can’t wait to come back. Thank you for such a memorable and perfect birthday getaway!

I can't say enough good things about the Dogfish Inn. I absolutely adore the staff. Every single person is so kind, welcoming and genuinely accommodating. From the moment you arrive, you're made to feel less like a guest and more like an old friend.

The inn itself is quaint, cozy and incredibly comfortable. It has that perfect laid back charm.

The location is super convenient. Making it easy to explore and enjoy the town of Lewes. One of my favorite things is the complimentary use of the bikes to go grab my morning coffee or explore some of the nearby bike trails. It's such a fun perk that adds to the whole beach life experience.

The dogfish Inn is truly just something special. I've had so many great conversations with staff members over my stays, and its those thoughtful little moments that really make this place feel even more special. The overall vibe is always so warm and friendly and it keeps me coming back again and again.

We loved spending the weekend here. It’s such a cute little hotel with a really excellent location; super close to downtown Lewes but also not too loud or much foot traffic in front of the hotel. It’s next to a beautiful neighborhood and right by the water. Staff were great and we loved the nightly bonfire in the yard. Highly recommend renting bikes or e-bikes (we had never used them before but had so much fun) and taking the lovely trail into rehobeth for the afternoon! Would love to come back and experience it in a different season, too!
