You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.

"We really love the quality of this piece. Original idea was to do the photograph postcard...the quality was not the was we wanted to represent ourselves. Modern, yet traditional and simply elegant was our intent. Not noisy and full of graphics or our pictures. This says class. LOVE the statement it makes."
"My fiance and I wanted the Seashell Sketches Save the Date and Wedding Invitations. Wedding Paper Divas was able to match our colors (coral and turquoise) perfectly!"
"This design is BEAUTIFUL and exceeded my expectations! The quality and design are outstanding and I love the color choice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND these save the dates for a destination wedding."
"I loved our finished save the date. We chose the pink orchids to follow our colors and classic theme. The sample I ordered used the regular Signature Textured White which I felt looked like recycled paper and not as high quality. For our finished product, I chose the pearl white shimmer paper, flat card with no picture and rounded corners and plain white envelopes which I'll spruce up with an embosser I also ordered. Love the official save the date and excellent quality with the upgraded paper type!! I can't wait to send them out!"
"So I kept my save the dates with the yellow orchids, as I am having a wedding in Hawai'i and yellow is one of my three wedding colors. I wanted the pearlescent effect on the cards, and I felt it was definitely worth the extra cost. The invite is petite, simple, yet elegant. The paper quality is perfect! It is very smooth and sturdy - absolutely love it!"

Bay Area Billionaires (and Their Mansions)
With our tech, real estate, and film industries, it's no surprise that we have more billionaires in California than in any other state. Almost half of them (47, according to the Chronicle) live in the Bay Area, so that answers my constant, slightly whiney question: who can afford to live here? Ah, and what they… Read More

Takes ages to reach £10 payout as you often get screened out of their usually £1 surveys.
However they do provide good, well set out surveys and they do pay - well they have always paid me anyway.
My advice - I belong to about 40 surveys sites and I just go to the sites or wait for invitations, as necessary and over time I find that I am pleasantly surprised when I reach the payout.
It took me a long while but I finally received a payment for just over £10. It did however take a long time to arrive in my bank from requeting.
The surveys are usually £1 each but you do get screened out quite a bit. Average length surveys though. Not great but ok and they pay.
The surveys are interesting although not very frequent. The site gives the impression of a professional outfit. Don't be deceived.
I applied for my £10 reward and within a few weeks their site said that I had been paid. This was untrue. I wrote 4 emails over a 4 week period. I also wrote an email to their parent company MetrixLab. Not one response.
If you want to spend many hours completing surveys for no reward, this is the site for you.
Should be investigated and shut down.
since Nov '12. Emailed asking for an update on their service - no reply. In a year's membership only sent seven surveys. Not worth bothering with!
I see I'm not the only one who hasn't been paid. They have previously paid out around the first week of the month after cashing out, but this time nothing. Cashed out £10.10 in June, email says it was processed on 8th July, but money was never received into my bank account. Have messaged their Helpdesk 3 or 4 times, each one ignored. They still send invitations, the last of which I returned, saying not until I receive my money for the last lot - surprisingly the email didn't bounce. For £10 it's hardly worth pursuing, but I will be sending back any more survey invitations with a suitable comment. I'm quite surprised that they've suddenly turned bad, can only presume they've gone or are about to go bust.
In answer to the comment dated 22nd Sept: "OpinionBar don't have that many surveys very often, but they do pay." - I can assure you that this time they did not pay me.

I'm seeing subtropical's in the bay area just leaping at this growing seasons warm,heat,and rains. Now,its just plain hot. Water!,fertilize! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Water, yes, Fertilizer, nope! Not until after the heat is gone. And perhaps rig temporary shade for sensitive plants. |
8:30 pm. i am just in- the sun is down and i have been out in my garden putting up even more temporary shade coverings for tomorrow. some leaves have been cooked! it wasn't a hard job, moving slowly on level ground, but i have a sweat mustache at 8:30 pm! where can i deposit my complaint? min |
i don't know how to set the time on my posts. the clock is way off. min |

It's bad here too- the second flush of roses is crisping just as it gets started, and the hydrangeas and brugmansias are flopping. I might put up a few umbrellas, but heck, I should really just write off summers entirely. |

For me it's watering early and then hiding inside during the heat of the day weather... I meant to get out and cut a bunch of roses before they got cooked, but ended up getting busy and forgetting about it until it was too late. Fortunately I've got quite a few roses in afternoon shade, and though the blooms that opened in the morning fried several must have bloomed after they were no longer in direct sun because they look good. I'm thinking, in our hot Ca summers, perhaps the ideal rose garden should contain some nice airy trees directly to the west so that the roses get filtered shade in the heat of summer but full sun for early spring and late fall. Another idea to catalog in my 'dream gardens' file... Oh yeah, I think that the clocks on gardenweb are set to the eastern time zone, because as far as I've noticed they're always three hours ahead of us. |
Supposed to hit about 90 here today. Wouldn't be so bad if it cooled down at night, but it's been staying in the mid to upper 60's (no A/C). |
Holy macaroni its hot! Some years we never use the home air. Last late afternoon it went on for four hours. I did the watering EARLY this morning,before the laser beam through the magnifying glass feeling hits the skin. 67f for a low..and this weeks lows have been unheard of in the eastbay of the SF bay area. Still,I take it over gloomy fog in summer. I hate that. |

I got a high of 110* today, it looks like it will be about the same tomorrow. I gave all my trees a good watering last night. I was smoking a tri-tip this morning and went out around 1pm to get it out of the smoker. I couldn't stand the heat in bare feet. I had to put on shoes to get the meat out of the smoker. |

It is quite likely that you are part of the mass of people who are constantly striving to achieve better golf skills. Read on for some advice that will help you improve your game.
If you are lucky enough to have entered the sand trap yourself, take care to leave it in a good condition for whoever comes next. Be sure to clean up the area after you have taken your swing from a sand trap so there are no craters left behind. The footprints and spots that you leave are disastrous for those playing after you. Once you are done, you should pick up the rake, as well as smooth the ground, for the next golfer. Discover the variances in the clubs' designs in order to improve your skills. The function of a putter may be obvious from its name, but you'll also need to understand when and how to use irons, wedges, woods, and other clubs. It could mean disaster if you use the wrong club during the wrong situation. A shot that ends up to the right can be caused by your body sliding left while you swing. One way to adjust this is to concentrate on pushing your hands through the swing just a little bit faster. Consistently releasing your hands quickly will give you more accuracy. To get a better workout and save money, walk the golf course, instead of using a golf cart. This helps you get much more exercise so that you can improve your health. Walking will also keep your muscles loose and warmed up, leaving you ready for every shot as you take it. To help you hit better golf shots, pay close attention to how you are addressing the ball. Your posture plays a big role in determining how far you can drive. The golf ball will not travel very far if you slouch too much or too little. The key thing to consider when looking for a powerful swing is using both your upper and lower body to create momentum through the ball. Novice golfers think the power comes from the arms, but only using the arms can make weak and awkward swings. The ideal approach is to craft a swing that utilizes all your muscles in one fluid motion. What's important is that you buy the set of clubs that works with your play style. Don't forget that the golfers of a century ago were using clubs made of wood. Do you really need that high-priced titanium club?
Despite what many people say, keep the ball in the same position for identical shots. This helps establish consistency for each shot. If you need more loft, you can try bringing your back foot forward while keeping the same ball position. You will pick the right club next time when you do this. Even if you're in a rush to start golfing on a course, it makes sense to go to a driving range and hit some balls there before you tee off for the first time. Those few extra shots will get you warmed up and ready to play.
Make sure that you are holding your golf club correctly before you swing. Your thumbs will be pointing downwards, and the handle will fit right in your palms. Both your hands should have contact with one another. If you want the ball to go a greater distance when you hit it, drop your grip further down the shaft. To ensure your posture is correct, wiggle your toes. If your toes wiggle freely, your posture may be tilted too far back. The proper position would be to lean into the golf ball, allowing your feet to move slightly, but not overly much.

Two 18-wheelers involved in I-20 wreck; 1 hospitalized
POSTED: Monday, March 18, 2013 - 6:30pm
UPDATED: Thursday, March 21, 2013 - 9:41am
Tyler, Tx (KETK) — Emergency crews were dispatched to the scene of a major accident involving two 18-wheelers on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 20 Monday afternoon.
According to the Smith County Department of Public Safety, the crash took place at mile marker 559 near Jim Hogg Road around 3:30 p.m.
One of the semi trucks involved in the wreck was attempting to get back onto the interstate from the shoulder, when another 18-wheeler hit the vehicle from behind.
Traffic began flowing again at around 5:15 p.m.
The mangled 18-wheelers' company names could not be made out. One semi carrying apples read, "England ____." The full name is unknown.
No major injuries were reported. A man was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital.
Comments News Comments
I-20 in Smith County is as bad as Hwy. 31 in Smith County is. Get some more Highway Boys out there to slow the morons driving those 18 wheelers down! They drive like the highway is all theirs and you better not get in their way. Pull out in front of you and you better stop or be able to change lanes real quick.
Most of us "morons" are driving company fleet trucks that are speed limited at 65MPH or less, the independents are likely running at the speed limit that is now posted at 75MPH. I'm sorry thats too fast for you but its legal according to the state of Texas. As far as pulling out in front of you on the interstate goes, you must be referring to on-ramps. In that case, we have a lot of weight to get up to speed and limited time to do so. Your car is small and maneuverable. A luxury we lack.

Prevailing Winds Lodge is a favorite place for my husband and I to go for a getaway. We have visited 3 times and every visit seems to be better than the last. The overall ambiance is warm and welcoming. Jen and Steve are so awesome and make you feel right at home. The beds are so comfortable it feels like you are sleeping on a cloud. Breakfast is out of this world incredible. Every time we have breakfast our biggest complaint is we wish we had bigger stomachs to eat more! The eggs are fresh from their chickens and Jen and Steve are conscious of where the food comes from. I love everything about this place, and can't wait for our next stay!

Prevailing Winds Lodge is beautiful, comfortable and clean. Steve and Jen are accommodating, friendly and genuine. The breakfasts are outstanding. They are made from scratch and were enough to hold us until dinner. Steve is a top notch cook! The property and grounds are beautiful. Can't wait to go back. Debbie

Great hosts - personable but not intrusive. Fantastic breakfast - best food ever - all fresh. Decor is log cabin with a modern flair .... Very clean and very comfortable beds¿¿. We had 4 of the 5 rooms so we had the whole place to ourselves - very relaxing. The locale is secluded but very accessible. Would highly recommend it!!

We bid on & won a gift certificate at a charity silent auction for a one-night stay at this B&B, located about 30 minutes from us in Madison, WI. Since it didn't require a flight from us, we were always last minute in checking with them to see availability, but Steve worked with us & let us use the gift certificate two months after it's expiration in order to make sure we could have our overnight. The property itself is just beautiful; the log cabin is gorgeous & it's decorated in a very classic & comfortable way. The little touches like home-made chocolate chip cookies upon check-in, glass bottles of water to take to your room & multiple Keurig stands were much appreciated. The bed was very comfortable & we ended up buying the sheets that they use on the beds from their gift shop b/c they were the best sheets we had ever slept on. That night, we went out to eat at a local fish fry, which was fun. In the morning, the breakfast was out of this world gourmet....two courses & all home-made. The land around the B&B is beautiful & good for hiking. We will definitely recommend this property to both people from Madison looking for a little get-away as well as people from further away & out of state. Thanks so much Steve! -- Jenn K.

My husband and I recently spent several days in Wisconsin/Illinois to celebrate our anniversary. We stayed in 3 different B&B's, all top-rated for their specific area. PWL was clearly the winner, so much so that we've already booked a weekend at PWL for next October. PWL is truly a place to experience the quietness and beauty of the Wisconsin countryside, as well as the grandeur of a magnificent and tastefully-decorated log home. Its seclusion yet close proximity to Madison as well as parks and many other attractions is a plus. Jen and Steve are perfect B&B hosts – personable, professional, and sensitive to the individual needs of their guests. I can't even begin to comment on all the small touches that added to the stay. And the treats/breakfast … wow … just wow! We recommend PWL without hesitation and look forward to our next stay!

My husband and I stumbled upon Prevailing Winds searching for a place to spend out 1st year anniversary and we couldn't have landed in a more perfect place. The breakfast was amazing and we both have food allergies that they were more than willing to accommodate for. The rooms were incredible, we could have slept for days the bed was so comfortable. The place was magical; if you want a warm, cozy and relaxing getaway with delicious food this is the place for you. Also, it's so close to Madison and other great state parks that we had so many options for activities. Our whole experience was incredible! Jamie (St. Paul, MN)

If you're celebrating something special or maybe a weekend with family I can't recommend Prevailing Winds Lodge BnB near Mount Horeb enough. Amazing, beautiful, warm, peaceful. My wife didn't want to leave. Steve and Jen (hosts) are so welcoming and accommodating, sharing lots of stories about the lodge, baking recipes and local knowledge. Incredible breakfast and desserts. Forget your diet. Just find a reason to go! - Jim

Fantastic stay! We would highly recommend planning a getaway to Prevailing Winds Lodge, which is nestled in the woods in beautiful Blue Mounds, WI. The lodge and rooms were exceptionally clean. The bed in our room was AMAZING! It was fluffy and had premium linens---we almost slept through breakfast. Breakfast was scrumptious---they used local bacon and sausage and eggs from chickens that they have in a coop just outside the lodge. The property has a few well-maintained, scenic hiking trails on it. Make your reservation now! You'll be happy you did!---Sincerely, Javon, Happy Visitor.

We left our first stay at Prevailing Winds last year knowing we'd be back for our daughter's wedding in Spring Green this past August. Walking up the immaculate stone walkway to the lodge, we felt like we were coming home. Not just to a tranquil, tasteful and sumptuous country lodge but to a family that was special to us the moment we met them. We have stayed at many b and b's throughout the country, and nowhere have we found hosts like Jen and Steve. They are extraordinary people who open both their home and their hearts to guests with an uncanny knack for anticipating needs and fulfilling them with generosity, imagination and flair. Here are just a few of the special things Jen and Steve did for our daughter, her wedding attendants, and her new husband. Fresh prairie flowers, a pre-wedding impromptu photo session (with a beautiful framed photo gift when we returned from the reception!), an elegant, over-sized mirror for dressing and primping, calming music for the bride as she dressed, and a sweetly intimate private breakfast table the next morning for the newlyweds. Astonishing kindness and thoughtfulness surrounded us every minute of our stay. Precision and perfection are found in every touch at Prevailing Winds. The pristine beds and glorious breakfasts, tucked-in treats at every turn, comfy nooks and beautifully maintained grounds make the whole lodge simply shine. But its true beauty comes from the generosity and goodwill of its owners and their desire to make each guest's stay as perfect as it can be. For us this was both a visit to cherished friends and a wedding gift that we will remember always. We are so grateful, Jen and Steve, and we hope to see you (and your beautiful little ones) again soon!

Went to PWL the 2nd week of August and we are still reminiscing about those fantastic breakfasts and sweet treats. Never had to eat lunch after filling up on a daily breakfast of yogurt/fruit/granola bar, top-notch bacon and delicious main course. Felt like we were staying in a ski lodge in Colorado. Enjoyed the Wollersheim winery tour and facilities close by and closeby restaurants in Mt. Horeb. Would highly recommend the Grumpy Troll - microbrew with excellent food/service. Thanks to hosts, Steve, Jen, and Michelle for an excellent time. Enjoyed hearing all the stories and history of the lodge.

We truly had a five star experience...from the farm fresh eggs taken right off the property to the amazingly comfortable beds that we didn't want to get into because they looked so pretty! Our time around the fire pit was priceless and our lazy afternoons spent in the hammock could not have been more perfect. We also enjoyed our long walks all over the property especially down by the creek. So beautiful! My husband and I were so impressed with the little details and the thought that went into our experience. Thank you Steve, Jennifer, Michelle, Wyatt and little Miss Anna for an incredible weekend retreat that we will not soon forget. We can't wait to come back next summer!

The pictures don't do justice to the comfort and beauty of the lodge. We felt so at home yet pampered at the same time. We stayed in the Ponderosa Pine and couldn't have been more pleased. The view from the balcony was gorgeous. The grounds were equally captivating. But it was the genuine warmth and hospitality of Steve and Jen that made our stay exceptional. Oh and let me just say that you better come to breakfast hungry and don't make lunch plans. You will certainly want to eat every delectable bite, but finishing their generous breakfast will be a challenge. Our only complaint was that we couldn't stay longer. We are counting the days to our return on our first anniversary!

My wife Pam and I stayed over for two days in Mid-August. Prevailing Winds is very restful and quiet. It is a nice leafy setting out in the country. Sitting on the porch listening to the wind in the trees was a perfect place to recharge one's batteries and get some much-needed, deep relaxation and escape from the workaday world of gadgets, smart-phones, stress, and multitasking that everyone deals with these days. The bed and breakfast is located near the quiet, sleepy town of Blue Mounds and is a short hop from Mt. Horeb and not much farther away from the entertainment possibilities, movies, restaurants, etc, of Madison. Steve, Jen, Wyatt, Anna, Michelle (and Charley) were the perfect hosts, and were extremely friendly and gracious. The beds were huge and inviting, soft as feather-beds, and the breakfasts each morning were wonderful -- a few days after we returned back home Pam said she had the urge to call back to see what was for breakfast that day.... A phone call I answered on our first day back home involved a friend's computer that froze up with documents that "couldn't be opened", etc. It was like a phone call coming from another world, after feeling so deeply relaxed... Great job by all involved! --Larry and Pam Phillips

From the moment you enter the Lodge, you feel nurtured: hot cookies fresh out of the oven, an open-house sense of the common areas including the kitchen, welcoming great room and attention paid to so many details throughout. Delightful owners and staff. Eggs are fresh from the hens. Magnificent breakfast.

We just returned from our second visit to Prevailing Winds Lodge, and have booked a weekend for next year. It is a gorgeous property, the rooms are very comfortable, the food is fantastic, and Steve and Jen are wonderful hosts. We went for the Military Ridge bike trail that is about 2 miles from the door, but there are other attractions nearby, and Madison is about 30 minutes drive to a huge variety of restaurants and the legendary farmer's market on the Capitol Square.

Everything was so beautiful! We got there a little before check in, so we took a stroll around the land before going in... there were chickens running around a coop, which we were told later were there to contribute fresh eggs for our breakfast the next morning! A little ways off from the lodge, there were two wooden lounging chairs facing East to watch the sunrise! My boyfriend and I sat there in the evening, and saw deer hopping around in the distance... what a fairy tale! There were fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and lemon raspberry water waiting for us. Upstairs, there was a relaxation-nook stocked with books, a computer, soda, glass-bottled water, soda, coffee, tea (all complimentary!) and a leather couch and chair sitting in front of a huge window facing West, a beautiful spot to watch the sunset! Steve was preparing a home-made red velvet cake for us (we had gotten the birthday package, but I didn't expect the cake to be home-made!!). In our room, we had ridiculously comfortable plush sheets and blankets on our even-more-comfortable king sized bed. Oh, and did I mention the two adorable pillows hanging on the door with mine and my boyfriend's initials? I'm getting giddy just writing about it! In the morning, we both took a shower and slipped into the comfy robes provided for us. We grabbed a cup of coffee from the Keurig machine in a pair of beautiful, handcrafted clay mugs, and sat outside while we waited for our breakfast. For breakfast, there was delicious yogurt, home-made granola and fresh raspberries, blackberries & strawberries waiting for us in the dining room. In the sunroom, we and another couple were treated to fresh squeezed orange juice, home-made blueberry french toast with a blueberry yogurt drizzle, and the most delicious bacon I've ever had. I was literally amazed by something in this lodge every time I turned around. If you ever want to know what a fairy tale feels like, stay a night in this lodge. Wonderful!

At the recommendation of a friend, we chose Prevailing Winds for our marriage retreat. From the beautiful setting, gorgeous log home, delicious treats, scrumptious breakfast, genuine hospitality, convenient location...the 1 evening stay refreshed and replenished us.

We are repeat customers to Prevailing Winds Lodge and we will keep coming back! We've been in the summer and now the winter (getting to this review a little late)-It's lovely for all seasons! Steve and Jen always make us feel right "at home". It is such a cozy, rustic lodge-yet elegant too. The food is fantastic! We are outdoors people-so being close to Blue Mounds state park is great-in summer for hiking and biking and in the winter for x-country skiing or snow shoeing. This B&B has become our favorite and we'd highly recommend it!

The minute I drove up the driveway I knew I was going to love it here There really aren't enough positive words for my experience, but I will list some...cozy, inviting, restful, clean, nature, beautiful, friendly. The breakfast would beat any food served by a Master Chef in a Michelin Star restaurant. The attention to detail was amazing, from the excellent coffee station to all the homey touches in the rooms. All different sitting areas to meet all needs of those who need to relax. Every window you look out of is beautiful and helps you relax. The owners as my Grandpa would say are "Good People" Steve and Jen are super friendly and can help you with any local information you need. I also had a lot of good chats with their cousin, Michellle. I would strongly recommend staying here, I've stayed in B & Bs a lot in the States and Overseas. With only 1 stay, PWL moved into my top 2. I can't wait to come again and I will be sharing with friends and family. Thanks for the Awesome hospitality!! Julie

We stayed at Prevailing Winds in early July to celebrate a family member's milestone birthday. It was the perfect place to unwind, eat well and celebrate. The property itself is in a great location - close enough to Madison if you wanted to go, but far enough away that you truly felt out of pocket. And the lodge and the rooms are gorgeous - decor that is tasteful and luxurious. I'm still dreaming about the heavenly bed. Food was incredible and farm fresh - one day savory and one day sweet. And the owners are the best type of people around. This is a true gem that you shouldn't miss!

What a beautiful bed and breakfast in the rolling hills of WI. The Lodge is absolutely gorgeous and each room is different and unique. The best part of our stay was the four star gourmet breakfast. We had thick cut candied bacon and blueberry muffin french toast. It included fresh maple syrup, blueberry capote and fresh whipped cream. There was also a yogurt and granola bar with fresh fruit. Easily a meal you would pay $15 a person for at a restaurant

We went to Prevailing Winds with some friends to celebrate a special event and it was the perfect setting to celebrate and relax.

The breakfast tasted incredible and was served with great coffee (a huge plus for us). We could not have been happier with the experience! Meagan and Woj

The scenery along the driveway told us how relaxing the stay was going to be. Upon arrival we were greeted by Steve that had warm homemade cookies and infused water waiting for us. We instantly felt at home after a quick tour of the lodge and all it had to offer. We stayed during the winter so we hung out around the lodge most of the time. I was hoping for more snow to go snowshoeing. The property looked amazing. My husband and I went to Blue Mounds for fish at Hooterville Inn which is always good. We hung out with Steve and Wyatt, who was a delight to play with. We stayed in the Mountain Pine Room that had homemade peanut butter chocolate covered truffles for us to enjoy. You melt in the bed! The soaking tub was fantastic too! The breakfast was to die for including really good coffee and tea to make at our leisure. Jen, Steve, and Wyatt were extremely nice and easy to talk to that love what they do and put those extra touches in throughout your stay. We are looking forward to going back!

Such an amazing B&B! My husband and I were looking for a quiet, peaceful and relaxing getaway for a bit of much needed R&R. We wanted to take in the fall folliage of beautiful Wisconsin and experience something new. When we arrived we were just amazed at the beautiful surroundings and the "quiet" we found. We arrived on a Wednesday and we were able to have the B&B all to ourselves. Steve and Jen were such great hosts and we felt like we were home...and by end of the week, we didn't want to leave our "oasis" in southern Wisconsin. We were spoiled by the richness of the food and the hospitality. Steve is such a great cook and his breakfasts are wonderful! We just loved his homemade cranberry white chocolate scones among all the other delicious breakfast delights! I don't want to giveaway anything else, because the special surprises really add to your experience. We were able to do a bit of sight seeing to some near-by locations and than get to spend a few hours daily having our relaxing "Hammock" time under the two oak trees. We laughed so much and we really took in the whole experience. One of which was having pizza and wine up in the field watching the sunset...and doing a bit of the star gazing ~ just an incredible sight to see! If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway close to home or not, this is the Oasis to make sure to visit. Thank you Jen and Steve and Lil' Wyatt for making our stay so enjoyable. See you soon for sure! ~ Peggy&Dan -- Des Moines, Iowa

Others' reviews detail the many kinds of perfection to be found at Prevailing Winds, so while I could try to similarly recount all the exquisite touches and heartfelt kindnesses that made our summer 2013 stay so lovely and memorable, I will simply say that as soon as we knew our daughter's summer 2014 wedding would take place in southwestern Wisconsin we knew - even before we knew the exact wedding venue - that Prevailing Winds was the only place our wedding party could stay for such a meaningful event in the life our family. Steve and Jen (and Wyatt!) are so warm and so gracious, and their generosity in caring for their guests is unmatched at any of the places we've stayed over many years of vacationing in the Dodgeville/Spring Green area. There is a special spirit in this place, and in this family, that will add an extra measure of joy to our wedding celebration next year. Thank you, Prevailing Winds - we look forward to our next stay!

My GF and I had planned to stay in Madison, but all hotels were sold out. And we are so thankful that they were!!! We are very happy to have stayed at Prevailing Winds Lodge. The B&B was clean, organized, and nestled away from the highway to give the lodge a nature-like, quiet feel. The room was cozy, spacious, and had nice accommodations like a balcony and Iphone alarm clock. Coffee, tea, soft drinks, and water were available 24/7. And breakfast was amazing! Steve made blueberry muffin french toast with a blueberry compote that was to die for. There was plenty of seating throughout the lodge (both inside and outside), so you are welcome to socialize with other guests or find a quiet nook for you and your significant other (which is what we opted for). Steve and Jen were amazing hosts and I have no doubt that there lodge will continue in its success! I would highly recommend Prevailing Winds Lodge! And as an aside, this is the first time I have ever written a review for a hotel, but I just felt that strongly and positively about the experience that I felt Jen and Steve deserved the recognition and praise!

We have stayed in B & B's in Europe and the US. The Prevailing Winds Lodge was one of the best experiences we have had. The service was attentive without being intrusive. The food was well prepared and delicious. The environment was restful, calm and well appointed in an appropriate upscale rustic manner. When we arrived we were tired and a bit stressed out. By the time we left, three days later, we were refreshed and relaxed. Our only regret was that we had not planned a longer stay. You must experience this lodge yourself. It is a true treasure. Our best to the owners, may you have continued success.

Absolutely the best! It is difficult to find enough kind words to adequately describe the stay my wife and I had with Steve and Jen at Prevailing Winds Lodge. We stayed four nights, and, after each day exploring the surrounding area, it felt like returning home. In addition, we took advantage of the Badger football package, and Steve had everything organized from reserved parking to great seating. Go Badgers! Whether it was the beautiful lodge set in the countryside, all of the amenities provided, our cozy room, or Steve's "over-the-top" freshly prepared breakfasts, our stay was as remarkable as any bed and breakfast we have frequented in the world.

This was our first bed and breakfast experience, and it was awesome! I don't think we will go anywhere else for fear of it being not nearly as nice. The people we met there said they had been to many b&bs and none of them were as nice as Prevailing Winds was. We believe them! We had a great time staying here. We really enjoyed walking on the trails on their beautiful property, and loved sitting by the big windows reading in their wonderful leather couches enjoying the view. The lodge is beautiful and our room was impeccable. The attention to detail and little amenities like Keurig coffee makers, caramel bars and raspberry lemon water available whenever we needed it made our stay extra comfortable. It was also very quiet, which we really appreciated as this was a night away from our one and three year old girls. Everything about our stay was great, and we would highly recommend Prevailing Winds Lodge - and would love to go back ourselves!

We were so fortunate to book the entire Prevailing Winds Lodge for my family and fiance & I! We had stayed there before and had the best experience and couldn't wait to share it with my Missouri family for the first time. They were ecstatic walking into the beautiful bed & breakfast. The rooms were perfect for everyone along with the space to host our rehearsal BBQ outside for the rest of our family and friends to join. Steve & Jen are always a pleasure to have around with a helping hand or just a lovely conversation over coffee. The kids loved playing with their 2 dogs and their adorable son, Wyatt :) The Prevailing Winds Lodge was the perfect place for wedding photos, fire pit gatherings with friends, and overall a special place for my family and us to be together during the whole wedding process. We can't wait to come back! Thank you so much for the experience and for making our wedding so special. xoxo ~Kristen & Brock Havens

The lodge and land are both absolutely beautiful and we felt comfortable and at ease. Jennifer and Steve (along with their cute little son Wyatt) are wonderful and took great care of us. Not to mention, the breakfast was delightful! We loved it there and we're sure to go back sometime in the future!

Let me preface my remarks by saying that I have stayed in many B & B's both in the US and abroad. I can't think of a better B & B experience than the one Prevailing Winds offers. Breathtaking scenery, the most gracious of hosts, stunning attention to detail in everything from the decor to the gorgeous breakfasts and snacks offered. I was also impressed by the concern for the environment that was shown in the operation of all aspects of the Lodge. A traveler simply could not do better than Prevailing Winds Lodge!

Everyone in our group couldn't stop gushing about this place. It's a gorgeous lodge, with beautiful details everywhere you looked. The setting was also unbelievably beautiful, with trails and prairies and chickens and bonfires. Jen and Steve's hospitality and amazing cooking just added to the charm. And baby Wyatt is simply adorable. I would absolutely recommend Prevailing Winds to everyone who needs to recharge in a bucolic getaway.

We had a lovely weekend get away at PWL for our anniversary. Steve & Jen made us feel so comfortable-we truly felt "at home" in their home. The lodge is beautiful-rustic, yet elegant. The food was amazing and all made from scratch. We enjoyed biking and hiking nearby, as well as just relaxing in this beautiful lodge and having bonfires outside under the stars. We will be back for sure! Our favorite B & B so far-no doubt!
5 sur août 15, 2013
They could not have thought of more details to make the perfect stay. It was perfect. We will return, and stay longer next time. The hospitality that Steve and Jen so naturally offer is obviously genuine and heartfelt. It was an escape that will be remembered!

We had a very wonderful stay at Prevailing Winds Lodge B and B!!! We will have to go back because we were there only overnight! It was super clean and quiet and very relaxing! Breakfast was awesome and they were very accommodating!!!!

My husband and I celebrated our 10th anniversary here, and it was such a wonderful experience! The lodge is stunning, (it actually looks even better than the pictures- so beautiful and so clean!) the grounds are so peaceful, and the owners are so friendly! Steve and Jen truly have a gift for hospitality. Don't plan anything early in the morning, because you will want to linger over the divine breakfast cooked by Steve. Seriously. We highly recommend it and will definitely be back!

We had a lovely mini getaway there....the service was outstanding and the grounds are stunning. Our room was very nice and everything was so relaxing......we will certsinly be back!
5 sur juillet 23, 2013
From the time my husband and I walked in the door of this beautiful bed and breakfast, to the time we left, we loved every minute. Jennifer and Steve are warm, caring, and considerate (as well as being very helpful hosts). The breakfasts were outstanding and there was so much food, that we didn't have to eat lunch! The home and the bedrooms are so welcoming, that we didn't want to leave. It was nice to sit in the 2nd floor sitting area and read, relax and just enjoy the view. The property surrounding the home is just beautiful with green all around and a lot of "quiet". We took a walk to the back of the property, and enjoyed the beautiful views all around us. We were so content with the peacefulness and comfort of the home that we didn't even turn on the television that was in our room. I hope we can return soon because this is an experience we won't forget soon.

Our children gave us the gift of an evening at Prevailing Winds Lodge and we loved every minute of our stay! The lodge was beautiful and the service and hospitality was wonderful. We will definitely be staying there again, hopefully with our family next time!

My wife and I stayed here for our 10th anniversary. We felt extremely pleased with the accommodations and service. There was nothing that I could say that could of made our stay better other than staying longer. Steve's cooking abilities surpass restaurant quality and look forward to another Breakfast there soon. I would strongly suggest Prevailing Winds Lodge to anyone and plan on staying there again in the near future. Ricardo Viera

My husband and I met up with friends at Prevailing Winds Lodge on their opening weekend. We honestly don't know what to expect--but our expectations were exceeded in every way! You will be delighted by the experience. The owners/ hosts are gracious and the location is beautiful!

My wife and I, along with another couple, stayed for the first time at the Prevailing Winds Lodge this past weekend. The first word that comes to mind is "WOW"! Having stayed at a number of B&Bs in the past, this one ranks in the top tier. As my wife stated, the term "log cabin" does not do this place justice...it is a "luxury getaway". Everything is squeaky clean. The rooms are not huge, but have more than enough space, and are well appointed. The room balcony's are extra cool, and what a view!! The property is 40+ acres, and is truly beautiful. Steve and Jen are so personable...they do a lot of little things that make you feel special (I won't spoil the surprises), while going out of their way to accommodate your every need. Steve's breakfast was unreal, including healthy granola/other...almost everything organic from local farms that he has visited, and fresh-squeezed orange juice, with eggs from his own chickens. The area is not that populated...a lot of farms and rolling hills, so just great for a relaxing get away. There are hiking trails on the property, as well as the Mountain Ridge bike trail within 1.5 miles, and a state park within a few miles with a swimming pool, hiking, biking, etc. The bathrooms are on the small side, and you should try to get a room that has one to itself, but this is no big deal in the total scheme of things. We will be heading back to Prevailing Winds, and hopefully soon!!

We were all so comfortable at Prevailing Winds Lodge. It's a B & B with great Hospitality, Comfort, Beauty, Peace and Quiet, so I'd call it a B&B&H&C&P&Q.I have no problem assigning them 5 stars all around. What a great place!
5 sur juillet 14, 2013
We occupied the entire house with family members from various parts of Wisconsin. Everyone adored the place and had a great time. The B & B is impeccable! Clean. Gorgeous! Spacious. Loads of windows. Great views! Private balconies. Great Food. On 44 or 45 acres - beautiful setting, very private and quiet. Close to wineries and State Park. Very scenic. Two story stone fireplace is awesome. Great furnishings and lighting fixtures. Don't miss this all log amazing house!!

We had the most incredible experience staying at the Prevailing Winds Lodge B&B! The first thing we couldn't wait to explore was the beautiful scenery full of outdoor seating, fire pits, and adventurous trails. Inside, we enjoyed a cozy home away from home feeling. From the beautiful detail in the decor to the freshly squeezed orange juice and everything in between, the Prevailing Winds Lodge far exceeded our expectations. We are returning in a month to spend our pre wedding weekend there with our families! Words cannot express how beautiful and comforting this place is. From the amazing food and great conversations, Jen and Steve are wonderful hosts. Highly recommend staying here! Brock & Kristen

Even the photos don't do the place justice. Outstanding in every way. Attention to details all over. Gorgeous setting. Amazing log home. Spacious rooms and common areas. Wonderful furnishings. Super delicious food. I will go back!! We had a family reunion there and also celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary there. Everyone loved the place!! We ALL want to return again next year!! The great room is awesome with a two story stone fireplace!! Loads of windows for natural lighting and views from all the windows. Great place to relax. Ladies! You will love the soft monogrammed towels. Guys! Wonderful showers; great front porch plus sun room plus back porch; lovely bedding; well, too much to tell. You gotta go and see for yourself. Best B & B I've ever been to!!

My wife and I stayed at the Prevailing Winds Lodge for one night in late June 2013. Steve met us at the door and was very friendly and accomodating. We stayed in the Mountain Pine Room. The room was exceedingly clean, spacious, and attention to detail was evident throughout. Turndown service, night table chocolates, and a little message welcoming us to the lodge were all unexpected surprises. The bed was ultra-comfy, towels were plush, and the bathroom has a nice shower and a huge soaking tub. My wife has a food allergy and Steve graciously made sure her breakfast did not include any items that may have caused her problems. Speaking of food, the breakfast was very good, the scones were out of this world, and the carmelitas made my eyeballs spin! They were fantastic! My wife asked for the recipe and Steve did not hesitate to share. When we returned home, we had an email from Steve with the recipe for the carmelitas and a thank-you for staying at the lodge. Highly recommended!

PWL truly exceeded my expectations. The lodge was gorgeous and the landscaping and walking trails were fantastic. Everyone was extremely nice and our stay could not have been better. The beds are so comfortable! Our first night in the area was at house on the rock inn, and our second night at PWL. PWL was so much nicer, we wish we had spent both days there! I cannot recommend this b&b enough!
5 sur juin 25, 2013
If you're on the fence about a bed and breakfast, come on over and give this place a try. First impressions are everything, and this place will not disappoint. The insides are just as beautiful as the outsides, and the bed is one of the most comfortable I've ever laid my head in. To say that the lodge is outstanding is an understatement, but Steve and Jen are the real gems. They are warm and inviting, and make you feel welcome to be in their home. Steve's breakfasts are amazing, and country girl that I am, I can respect any person that has a cowboy hat instead of a chef's ensemble. The bed is cozy; the breakfast is better. If I could give this more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. You won't be disappointed.

Stayed with a friend for my 2nd visit in 2 months. Already planning a trip back...wanting the world to know how wonderful this place is, but also wanting to keep it secret so that I can get a room! PWL is the standard by which all B&Bs should be measured. Food, cleanliness, decor, value, service.. you won't be disappointed.
5 sur juin 20, 2013
I hate to say just how great this place is as we do not want to have to share it. But, it would be an injustice to Steve and Jennifer to not say how much we liked this place. The rooms are beautiful, the house is immaculate (even to our rather picky standards), the food was great and ample, and the hosts were warm and accommodating. The setting is secluded and the grounds are lovely for a walk across the hills or a late night stay at the fire pit. We would most happily stay here again with family or a weekend with friends.
5 sur juin 20, 2013
Steve and Jen were fantastic hosts at their beautiful and immaculate lodge. We stayed with them over the weekend for the Horrible Hilly Hundred bike ride and they could not have been more accommodating to our needs. The breakfast was incredible: homemade granola (out of this world delicious), yogurt, fresh fruit, muffins) and this was all before 5:30 am! We will definitely return soon and enjoy the full homemade breakfast. The sheets on the beds were soooo soft. It was luxurious and warm. We highly recommend the Prevailing Winds Lodge.

We felt so fortunate to find this B&B while looking for a place to stay near Blue Mounds for the Horribly Hilly bike ride. So relaxing and peaceful - we loved it! Steve and Jennifer were incredible hosts - took great care of us, had an amazing breakfast spread - even at 5:30 am on the day of the bike ride! We are definitely coming back. Highly recommended.

If you want to just Getaway, Escape, Hide, Relax and Chill..... This is the place for you. Never mind the comfy bed, The warm fireside pit or the stone fireplace. Never mind the gorgeous Lodge or the beautiful surroundings.... go for the FOOD.... Let Steve give you stomach cramps because you ate to much....I mean you wanna stop but hey what's one more bite...Its that good, I'm here to tell you, and don't stay for 1 night or 2 do like we did 5 nights and it was oh so worth it..... I'm going to do it again.....shame on you if you don't. Wonderful hospitality, atmosphere. you will go away wishing you could stay... Steve Jen and Wyatt make you feel at home.

Prevailing Winds has been open a short time, but you would never know it: Steve and Jen are total pros, serving local wines and cheeses at happy hour, cooking up a delicious breakfast and making every guest feel completely welcome. The beds and rooms were extremely comfortable, and very well decorated. We were also grateful that Jen and Steve had set up a crib in our room for our infant. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay more than one night!

The perfect balance between the elegance of a classy hotel and the love and comfort of being home with family!! Everything, from the delicious meals to the cozy rooms to the intelligent and personable staff was both extravagant and heartwarming. We had the most wonderful stay and highly recommend it to everyone!!

This is a great place to get away and have a relaxing few days away from the big city. The lodge is immaculate and the rooms are very well done. The owners are pleasant and happy to share their knowledge of the area and the lodge.

Prevailing Winds Lodge is perfection plus -- from the velvety sheets to the sumptuous gourmet breakfast to the warm hospitality of the owners, Jen and Steve (and baby Wyatt). The place was gorgeous, spotless, and cozy. We were there for two nights, borrowed our hosts' bikes for a ride in the country, dined at fun local restaurants that Jen and Steve recommended, and wished we didn't ever have to leave.

This is a wonderful bed and breakfast! The view is breath taking when you first arrive. The hiking trails were well kept allowed you to enjoy the prairie, the forest and a little stream. We enjoyed a glass of wine on our private balcony and watched a beautiful sunset over the tree line. Our room was a perfect combination of modern and rustic. The bed was incredibly comfortable. We were able to enjoy a bonfire out front and get to know the owners Jen and Steve a little bit. They were super friendly and attentive but not intrusive. The breakfast Steve cooked was phenomenal! There was fresh fruit, coffee, unbelievable raspberry scones two types of delicious bacon and perfectly fluffy fresh blueberry pancakes! We couldn't have had a more pleasant experience anywhere else. It was the perfect getaway! We will definitely be coming back soon! ~Alysha & Nick

My husband and I stayed here with our in-laws for a family event in the area and it was AMAZING! The rooms were cozy and chic (a combo you don't find everywhere!), everything was clean, and the house was spectacular. Jen and Steve made our stay wonderful! Steve is one of the best breakfast chef's I have ever met and he was more than happy to cater to any special requests we had. Jen is sweet, kind and made us feel like one of the gang. They were so kind, I left my contact solution and toothpaste and they were kind enough to help a girl out! Will go back and is a must-stay if you are in the area. I can't say enough about how great this place is - by far our favorite B&B!

The Note's Must-Reads are a round-up of today's political headlines and stories from ABC News and the top U.S. newspapers. Posted Monday through Friday right here at www.abcnews.com
Compiled by ABC News' Amanda VanAllen, Carrie Halperin and Danielle Genet
ABC News' Gregory J. Krieg: "Obama Focuses on Sandy, Not Election" Hurricane Sandy has blown President Obama and Mitt Romney off the campaign trail today, with the president returning home from Florida to manage emergency relief efforts from Washington and his Republican challenger scrapping scheduled rallies in deference to the dangerous storms. Obama held a news conference today to assure Americans that his administration was ready to deal with Sandy. LINK
The Hills' Amie Parnes and Justin Sink: "Hurricane Sandy throws the presidential campaigns off course" Hurricane Sandy is hitting the presidential race and the East Coast at the same time, throwing both candidates off their schedules and threatening to alter the voter-turnout calculus. The storm comes at a tough time for both candidates — the election is only eight days away, and polls show the race remains tight. LINK
The New York Daily News' Kristen A. Lee: "Presidential race grinds to a halt as Hurricane Sandy approaches" The presidential race has ground to a halt as a massive hurricane churns toward the East Coast with just over a week until Election Day. The storm has scuttled campaign rallies and complicated get-out-the-vote efforts, particularly in the key states of Virginia and New Hampshire, as polls show the candidates locked in a dead heat. LINK
The New York Times' Michael Cooper and Jeff Zeleny: "Early Voters, and a Hurricane, Change the Rhythm of the Campaign" With more than one in three votes likely to be cast before Election Day this year, Republicans are stepping up their efforts to chip away at what has been a Democratic advantage in early voting in vital battlegrounds like Ohio and North Carolina. In Ohio, whose 18 electoral votes are at the center of the presidential race, more than a million votes have already been cast, highlighting a change in the political rhythm that has led Republicans to begin to embrace the belief long held by Democrats that early voting can be used to increase turnout, not just to shift votes from one day to another. LINK
The Washington Times' Seth McLaughlin: "Romney embraces executive authority" Facing off in last week's foreign policy debate, Mitt Romney nodded in agreement with much of what President Obama has done with his powers as chief executive — including a full-on embrace of the president's claim to sole authority to expand drone strikes to kill terrorist suspects. The Republican presidential nominee has reserved the right to deploy U.S. military power to world hot spots, as Mr. Obama did in Libya, and to greenlight unilateral action against Iran. LINK
Politico's Andrew Restauccia: "Romney would give more power to states, would not abolish FEMA" The Romney campaign stressed Monday that states should take the lead in responding to emergencies like hurricanes. But the campaign said Romney would not abolish the Federal Emergency Management Agency. LINK
Bloomberg's Jonathan D. Salant: "Obama Ties Romney Among Likely U.S. Voters in Pew Poll" President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney are tied among likely voters in a national poll released eight days before Election Day. The Oct. 24-28 survey by the Pew Research Center found Obama and the former governor of Massachusetts each supported by 47 percent, a slight gain for the president from an Oct. 4-7 Pew poll that showed Romney ahead, 49 percent to 45 percent. The poll of 1,495 likely voters released yesterday has an error margin of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points. LINK
