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.

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!
