I stayed here a few years back when it was the Wells Hotel. I liked it then and I really like it now. The owners have done a refresh and the decor is fun and interesting. We stayed in #5 (a studio) and found it to be very comfortable and welcoming; the AC worked great and the bathroom was updated and very nice. Enjoyed playing some tunes on the record player. We walked to Sunset Rock and had dinner at Ristorante Paoletti. A very nice Highlands experience. It is a busy time of year so you will hear some road noise but it did not bother us. Highly recommend the Outpost!

The room has too many stuff, don’t have enough space. Floor Insulation is bad, on the first floor, you hear every step walking on the second floor. I was woke up by the step sound.

The perfect mountain getaway

We had the best stay at the Outpost Inn. This family owned Inn was so cozy. The attention to detail was incredible. We loved the onsite coffee and wine bar. We will definitely be back! Couldn’t recommend more.

A friend and I stayed at the Outpost for a night when in town for a music event. We couldn't have been happier with the vibe of the entire place, the cleanliness, staff, offerings, convenience, and overall comfort level. The rooms are stylishly decorated with an eclectic assortment of cool decorative and functional items ranging from native american culture to modern art to music. The lobby is one of the neatest things about the Outpost Inn. When we walked in there the morning after our stay, we could not believe the vibe. It's just the coolest space to hang out with vinyl, a cone fireplace burning and space to chill. Not to mention a coffee bar where you can get all kinds of drinks. As guests, we received a free drip coffee and banana bread. It was SO cozy and had such a great vibe, we didn't want to leave. We will surely be returning over the summer! Thanks for a wonderful and comfy getaway spot!

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.
