Outpost Inn offers boutique lodging amid the Blue Ridge Mountains.

With just 14 rooms spread across three historic buildings, Outpost Inns intimate size is very much a choice.

Rooms vary in size and are motel-style in that they are reachable from exterior doors.

It’s not all about the interior, of course.
