Great property cozy rooms excellent location Friendly staff Only complaint-put a sitting chair in the room Didn’t really use the typewriter!!!

The Outpost Inn was such a wonderful stay in Highlands! Our room was darling, well appointed with a little sitting area, fireplace and record player including some throw back records that put us in the mood. Bed/bedding was great, good shower pressure and products. Each afternoon we would hang out in the common spaces and firepits and enjoy a glass of wine, 'smores and meeting other travelers. The hotel is very close to town, you can walk. They also have bikes to take around. I highly recommend this hotel for a stay in the Highlands!!

10/10 Excellent

The coolest roadside motel that felt like a tree house but so chic. Beautiful!
Zachary, 5-night trip

6/10 Okay

We have stayed here several times,but this is the first time under the new owner and management. We much preferred the former staff (Brian, his wife, daughter, and dog!) who were much more to our style of laid back, country, and gave us such a warm and homey feel. The nrw style is more upscale with a wine bar and upscale/pricy snacks which doesn't fit with the rustic ambiance of the establishment. There are also areas that need attention in the outside areas that are not being addtrssed (holes in the wood plank stairs as one example).

Loved this hotel and its location on Lygon Street. Close to so many dining options Cool, trendy vibe in hote and very helpful staff.
Michelle, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

What a great spot. We felt the vibes right away as we pulled up and were greeted by Alex who was at the front desk. We loved the communal atmosphere and had some great conversations with other folks staying there on the common room. The bed was comfy and the room was awesome. We loved that it was a little off the main drag, but close enough to walk. I’m definitely going to recommend to others. Thanks y’all!

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.
Kelsey, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Really enjoyed the decor inside my room (The Terrace) and outside on the grounds. Parking in the front is nice while the back gravel lot less friendly; paved would be next upgrade! Staff, other guests and the general atmosphere of the place were welcoming and friendly. Definitely would recommend and book again! Wish the fridge had a freezer and ice maker. Would like to add video; only have the one relevant photo.

Outpost is a very nice property very close to town of cashiers. Love how its decorated, gives cozy mountain vibes. No real amenities or views, but convenient location.

10/10 Excellent

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!

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.

Erik, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
