For thousands of years, travelers have depended upon comfortable beds, warm food, and white noise to drown out mandolin players. Enjoy a serene stay with today's Groupon: for $129, you get a two-night stay, breakfast, and a $20 dinner credit at Chamberlin’s Ole Forest Inn in Curtis (up to a $280 value).

Built in the 19th century to accommodate passengers from the nearby Curtis train station, the 7,500-square-foot Chamberlin’s Ole Forest Inn, continues to lavish travelers with cozy quarters and views of Big Manistique Lake. A 10-foot stone fireplace in the lobby defrosts chilly toes and astronaut helmets fogged up by the winter weather. After check-in, patrons make their way up an open staircase, swathed in turn-of-the-century décor, to 1 of 11 guest rooms. Suites rest the weary with free WiFi and queen-size beds dressed in chenille spreads and country quilts, and selected rooms harbor additional comforts such as jacuzzis and views of the lake. In addition to breakfast, the inn’s restaurant loads bellies with casual fine dining in the guise of chicken parmigiana and Blackjack steak basted in blackjack sauce with a bedding of crispy fried onions.

An onsite gift shop sells clothing, candles, and other wares crafted by local artisans as the sounds of live music events waft from the porch or dining room. Visitors may opt to spend the whole getaway steeped in hotel amenities, where they’re safe from the rigors of making their own beds, or venture forth to nearby attractions, such as a dog-sled tour with Nature’s Kennel or a cross-country ski trek across the frozen terrain at Seney National Wildlife Refuge.
