Our stay at Second Wind was so relaxing! Our room was both charming and luxurious. Breakfast was exceptionally delicious, and we certainly enjoyed the company of our Innkeepers, Mark and Kelly. It is such a peaceful place, and yet just a few miles outside of Ashland! We can't wait to go back!

5 out of 5Clean Comfort with Country Charm
October 16, 2011
We have enjoyed staying at Second Wind during two marathon weekends over the past two years and Mark and Kelly are GREAT at what they do. Caring, conversational, and great cooks, they make you feel like family. The inn is quite new and rustically beautiful! The log details, northwoods themes and very cozy chairs and sofas throughout are a great comfort to our husbands who would rather not stay in a lace-covered Victorian, and the deep soaking whirpool tubs, nice teas and gift selections are much appreciated by us! We are excited to return again soon. Maybe in teh winter for a horse-drawn sled ride...

I loved everything about my stay at Second Wind, the location, the room, the hosts, the food! I don't have one negative thing to say about my stay, except that it may have been too short. I stayed 2 nights in the Northern Lights Loft with 4 other girls. There was more than enough room for all of us & all of our stuff. Kelly & Mark were great. They answered all of our questions & exceeded all of our expectations! I highly recommend Second Wind.
4.6 out of 5great stay with beautiful scenery
September 26, 2011
if you are looking for comfort, space for the family or a gathering of friends, countryside (but not too far out of town) and friendly hosts with servant hearts, I'd say you'd struggle to find anywhere that is better than Second Wind. I had a great time; felt more at home than at Home, and felt blessed during my stay. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
5 out of 5Great time -- too short
September 01, 2011
We were very pleasantly surprised at our experience here. We did not spend as much time as we would have liked to, because we were in the area for a wedding. However, we would definitely stay here again. The breakfast was terrific. We will be back. The host and hostess were truly nice people, and they visited with us like we were old friends.
