Great vibes. Cute rooms. Great service and walkable to downtown (minimal hill). Cozy hangout areas to wind down in after a long day

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.

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.

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.

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.
