The room accommodations were new and very clean. The overall facility was nicely decorated and very comfortable. Hard to describe the place but I really enjoyed staying there and relaxing. I will definitely stay again. The location is a couple blocks from downtown, easy drive, or bikes were available.

We had a very good 2 night stay. Our only suggestion is to add a thinner pillow option in the rooms. Loved the fire pits, bed comfort, water pressure, convenience to town, and nice folks working there.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Outpost Inn. It felt like a rustic mountain lodge. The inn was actually redecorated when bought by the current owners. It was clean and the people working there were helpful. They had added some outdoor seating areas and a fire pit which is great for when the weather is nice. The price is good for the area. It was very close to the main street area with shops and restaurants. We'd stay there again as long as the price stays reasonable.

What a place 😍. I enjoyed this stay more than any other place in the last year! The entire experience was sublime, from the moment I parked my car to the moment I left! The room’s theme, tribal, Indian gives the place a sense of comfort and easiness! The smell, the sound of the creek played on the tv made it very relaxing! The owner Jason and GM Missy were amazing, making you feel like part of the family! The attention to detail, including the handwritten welcome letter, makes this place a very unique place! Can’t wait to return! Thanks Jasón and congratulations on making this place extraordinary!

We certainly enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Outpost Inn in Highlands, NC. Our room was very cozy complete with working gas fireplace, flat screen TV, and updated bathroom. The bed was comfortable, but softer than some might want. The hosts were extremely friendly, helpful, and hospitable! The welcome glass of wine or beer was lovely, and complementary drip coffee and fresh banana bread every morning in the cozy lounge was lovely. We highly recommend this 'lodge' for anyone who enjoys rustic, eclectic ambiance.

It was perfect for us and you have a great idea with this layout, but the planting materials in the parking area could have been moved somewhere else. Our windows so needed to be clean. The bathroom was beautiful! I loved the furnishings. Housecleaning was on top of it daily and our room smelled great. Thank you.

Check in process
Beware of the check in process! They do not have a full time staff so front desk closes at 6pm. They never emailed or texted us the room number and door code as indicated. Its practically impossible to get someone after hours. Room was not clean at all - like they hadn't expected check in. Good location but not so great service.

Good but AC needs better instructions
We loved the decor, the location and the bed itself was very comfortable however, we could not figure out the AC with the remote and it was 75 degrees most of the night so we did not sleep comfortably- we are used to cooler temps at night and are hot sleepers. I finally figured it out around 2am but at that point I had very little sleep and just wanted some air flow in the room. It wasn’t until I hit the “super” button on the remote that it began to cool off and I could rest comfortably though it took awhile to do so. Other than that, it was a unique and lovely place to stay.
