Outpost Inn

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved our stay! It felt like a very relaxed inn out on the west coast or a cozy summer camp. A gem in the Highlands! Immaculate vibes and no pretentiousness that can sometimes be found in the area. Everything was thoughtfully curated and styled. It was truly relaxing. We enjoyed the firepit they had going in the evenings and the convenient and delicious coffee bar in the lobby each morning! We will be back soon!"
