We loved the quiet seclusion of the property and yet we were only a few miles from downtown. The host was amazing and assisted with any and all needs. The room was clean and cozy and it was hard to leave. Definitely keeping this location bookmarked for future stays!!!

The hosts were friendly and gave great advice on where to go round Ashland and Bayfield. Our room was very clean and the common area had extra seating and a coffee and reading area. The house is located just a few miles out of town on a small farm set on many acres. A peaceful country setting with beautiful scenery and animals.

Charming Retreat

For our recent stay at Second Wind, we were thoroughly impressed with the property and the attention to detail that Mark and Kelly brought forth both in its construction and as the current proprietors. The room was quite comfortable, though the bed was a bit firmer than we were used to. What surprised us most was how quiet the room was- this was greatly appreciated. They were gracious hosts and gave us some great tips on things to see and do in the area. We would certainly recommend a stay here, and have it on our short list for our next vacation to the area.

Peaceful, beautiful, restful

We came for the Birkie, and LOVED staying in this spacious lovely Inn. Beds were comfy, kitchenette was very functional, and nice open space (windows with lovely with view of land and full moon while we were there). Kelly and Mark were so very friendly and made our stay feel like we were "at home." Great area to walk, fresh air, cute animals (horses, donkeys, outdoor cats and a dog - all very friendly!). Lots of interesting books to peruse, and family games to play. Thank you for NOT have a tv!!! :)
