Glad we stayed there, but never again...too expensive
Pros:

The property was very unique. It was very pricey but it was lovely. The room was very unusual. comfortable, though. Nice touch, a glass of wine upon arrival. also we got a SomeMor kit....but no fire in fire pit.

Cons:

I feel it was overpriced.We had difficulties with the SMART TV, asked the staff for help, they couldn't help us. We were "too old" for this hotel. Everyone was very young! We are not techie and had problems "checking in"..staff wasn't to helpful either. Had to pay for breakfast...for what we paid for the room, we should have had a breakfast roll or something.

Comfortable inn with character
Pros:

Comfortable inn with character. Our room had a fireplace and seating area. Complimentary drip coffee and pound cake for breakfast! They also have free bikes you can use— very close to downtown! Lots of seating in lobby and outside.

Short stay to visit our daughter who was working in Highlands for the summer.
Pros:

Loved the bed, shower and record player- we lucked out with Fleetwood Mac. Also, lots of seating options in the room, very relaxing.

Cons:

You couldn't just access free coffee in the lounge, you had to order it.

Pros:

The staff is so kind. We loved the on-site coffee bar. The “hippie” theme and laidback vibe is adorable.

Cons:

If you are able-bodied this is a quaint, clean secluded place is great. We are an older couple with multiple health issues so it would not work for us. Rachel understood and refunded our money on the spot. That’s true customer service.

Pros:

The staff were professional and pleasant; the accommodations were comfortable and delightfully groovy; the morning coffee and bread were delicious. The location is an easy walk (maybe a half mile?) to the downtown area.

Cons:

I hated the drive up the mountain. The costs of all accommodations in the Highlands are too high on weekends. The Outpost would be great for a couple on a short vacation, but not a value for a single person traveling to a Highlands vacation.

Close to town
Pros:

Really nice staff - the bed was comfortable and the fridge was quiet. Nice fire pit area allows guests to relax.

Cons:

The room had an issue with the fireplace which staff fixed but the fix didn’t take, windows didn’t open, have to be okay with noise upstairs and in the courtyard.
