Second Wind Country Inn

Second Wind Country Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The host provided detailed information on finding the Inn and checking in. She was very helpful and friendly. The parking area is only steps from the entrance and was well lit. We interior design was perfect, with all the details matching the country theme. The location was close to town, but in the country with wide vistas, allowing us to enjoy both sunrise and sunset as well as the star filled sky. The kitchenette was perfect for us, with a small, but still roomy refrigerator, coffee maker, dishes and excellent selection of utensils and other kitchen tools like hotpads and towels. The two level layout worked well for us allowing for a nice living space to be together, but plenty of room for privacy. The upper seating area was huge and very comfortable. The bathroom was well appointed with lovely towels and plenty of room. The gathering room was very inviting and cozy. We enjoyed watching the horses as well as meeting the baby donkey. Thank you for making our mother daughter get away perfect."

8/10 Good
"Room wasn't well laid out to be able to unpack, all closet storage was in the kitchenette so drawers were full of utensils. No bathroom sink, you needed to use the kitchen sink, no bedside table for water. The biggest challenge was that there weren't blackout curtains so there was always light streaming in to wake you up. Noted that other amenities like yoga and meals are included but at the price point I expected a much more elevated room experience. Yoga classes were nice and all the meals were great. I would have appreciated some social events at night to have the opportunity to interact with other guests."
