"Equal parts summer camp, roadside motel, and low-key artist retreat, Outpost Inn brings a playful, free-spirited energy to the Blue Ridge. Just a short walk from downtown Highlands, its 14 rooms channel mid-century nostalgia with record players, hand-sewn quilts, and retro mountain charm. Guests gather for campfires, stretch out on screened porches, and linger in the wood-paneled lobby. It’s a place to unplug, meet a stranger, spin a record, and remember why you came to the mountains in the first place." - Tablet Hotels
