"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was exceptionally clean, tidy, and well maintained. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, and the beds were very comfortable. We brought steaks to grill and planned to cook and relax at the house on our first evening. The grill was excellent, but we did notice that there wasn't any seating in the backyard. A couple of stackable plastic chairs would have made it even more enjoyable. We would definitely recommend this home to anyone...

Outpost Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely wonderful stay! Such a vibe! Friendly and helpful staff. This quaint mountain retreat is full of thoughtful details that make it feel cozy, almost like home. You can get wine in the lobby or bring your own. They even thought to include a wine opener in your room. Having a fireplace right in our room, an amazing showerhead, K-cup coffee, snacks, drinks, and a TV made it tempting never to leave. The light breakfast available each morning and the cozy lobby hangout added to the welcoming atmosphere. But the outdoor fireplaces, cozy seating areas, and even a fireside movie under the stars made the experience even more memorable. The town was super cute too and we loved having dinner and drinks at their sister property, HmH. We loved every minute and can’t wait to come back!"
