A wilderness retreat you won't be soon to forget, Second Wind is nestled on the border of Great Smoky Mountains National Park with 180-degree panoramic views! Reconnect with nature and yourself as you gaze out at sweeping seasonal views of colored leaves, high peaks, and breathtaking blue skies.

Inside, you'll immediately feel at home amidst the high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, charming wood stove, and rustic ambiance. Prepare a home-cooked meal with the full kitchen's stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, or fire up the grill while relishing the mountain breeze. Cozy nights in can be spent on the living room's ample seating tuned into a movie, or playing a board game around the dining table.

Color and warmth flow through Second Wind's bedrooms, ensuring restful slumber for all. Likewise, your daily routines will be practiced with ease in the updated bathrooms. Additionally inside, discover fantastic amenities like a second family room, central air-conditioning, and a Pack-N-Play.

As the trees become illuminated by the sunset's yellow, orange, and pink hues - dip into the bubbling warmth of the hot tub. While exploring Clyde and beyond, be sure to check out Buzzard's Roost Overlook, the Hiram Caldwell House, Big Creek Trailhead, Rip Roaring Adventures, and the Cataloochee Ski Area.
