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.

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 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.

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 room was larger than picture showed. Very quaint and rustic like a lodge. Bathroom was very modern with rain shower!! Fluffy white towels. Finest in shampoo and body wash.
