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.

Very unique property. Grounds need some clean up, especially in the back parking lot.

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.

Great spot for the price.

Terrible place. Dirty, no one spoke English.

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.

Fabulous and the lobby/outdoor seating was beyond charming and cool. The Innkeeper or owner was delightful and kept his guests in conversation over wine or coffee - depending the time of day.

The Outpost Inn is a great option within close proximity to downtown Highlands. The room was quaint and comfortable, a little more rustic than the expedia pictures portray, but lovely. Check out their website for a more accurate depiction. Staff is not typically onsite, but they are present at the sister property Highlands Mountain House if you need ice or other assistance. The Outpost has beautiful new cruiser bikes available that you can check out for a quick jaunt into town for coffee or dinner.

Great place and location. Would be better if they posted instructions on how to keep the door locked.

This property is meant for people needing a place to sleep and shower in a comfortable, clean environment. Quaint, no frills rooms with attached small bathrooms get the job done. The outdoor am ience is nice, but what makes it special is the congeniality of the owner. Great coffee bar and conversation. Truly a genuine good soul. The rooms were nice, but the experience was great.

Room is small. About 10 feet x 30 feet with a king sized bed. Loaded with nice amenities. Eclectic deco. Fire pits and comfy registration area. Excellent, cordial service.

Very quiet and comfortable room. Driveway to back parking lot is terrible. Not very nice to a low riding sports car. Front lot is great when available.
