The room was clean and comfortable. Loved the fireplace but the loud noise from the other guests made it hard to sleep. Walls were very thin

A very pleasant surprise. This is a very 'value-centric' place to lay your head. Very clean, accommodating check in process, Close to all needed stuff (food, gas, etc). Proximity to Burt Lake State Park is great! It is a bit noisy in the morning due to existing on a main road - not the Owners' fault. Not disappointed in the least.
