About this property

Nestled on 44 acres of rolling hills, open prairies and hardwood forests, Prevailing Winds Lodge is the perfect place to enjoy privacy and peace. Whether you come to relax and unwind in the cozy guest rooms or explore the miles of on-site trails, your stay will leave you wanting more. From the moment you ascend the tree lined driveway, you will be transported to back-country Colorado by the whispering pines and full log lodge. Just 30 minutes outside of Madison, the lodge is located in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin and has views of the beautiful Blue Mound State Park and Brigham County Park.

WEDDINGS: Serenity, nature, privacy and peace are just a few things you'll experience on your wedding day at the lodge. Let the beautiful surroundings sweep you and your partner away as you begin your life together as one. The lodge offers the most intimate of settings for small weddings and breathtaking vistas from high atop our prairie for large weddings (no guest limit). The lodge does not have any restrictions on the vendors of your choice, but does offer packages for certain amenities and referrals for local merchants and suppliers. Please contact us for more details about the many options the lodge provides for your special day.

Built in 1996, the lodge offers an unparalleled experience in guest comfort, relaxation areas and outdoor activities. Attention to detail was the mantra of the craftsman who forged the lodge to include reclaimed wood countertops, a local barn wood mantle, coins integrated in the hardwood floors which mirror the American Club Resort in Kohler, a handcrafted moose and elk antler chandelier, a Michael Feeney carved dragon and full chinking between every log.

Inside the lodge you will be enamored by the soaring great room which features a 30-foot field stone fireplace, handmade Craftsman-style cabinetry, a 1904 Indian Girl canoe hanging overhead, a 9 foot reclaimed Russian Oak dining table and attractive antiques. Outside the lodge you will be rejuvenated by the fresh air and peaceful privacy of over 40 acres.

Amazing place!

The house was amazing! It is as described in the listing. We had a wonferful time. There is plenty of room on the driveway, if you're a big group with multiple vehicles. The location is great and very well secluded. We would love to go again!

Perfect Christmas Stay

Our families had an amazing time at this home. It was perfectly setup for 5 families with beds for 16. Fully equipped kitchen with plenty of dishes, glasses, and cookware to host our 4 night stay. The check-in process added a welcoming touch and the owner stayed in contact throughout our stay, and was 100% responsive to our needs. The fireplace was amazing and there was plenty of cut, dry wood to burn. I highly recommended this home for your next visit near Madison or New Glarus!

Wonderful house!

We were a party of 14 and everyone slept comfortably. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook at home. The property and house were beautiful. Pictures didn't do it justice. The hosts couldn't have been more helpful from beginning to end. Highly recommend this rental.

Idyllic

This was such a great stay! The property is beautiful. You know you've arrived someplace special right away: the long driveway winds through a lovely little wood with a stream and delivers you to the front door of the lodge. The lodge is spectacular. Comfortable and spacious with a fabulous kitchen and great beds. Our hosts were so thoughtful - they checked in to make sure our visit was going well, left us a welcome basket with goodies to celebrate our daughter's graduation, and accommodated our 8:45 pm arrival time with such generosity (thank you Karo!). We enjoyed the fire pit just steps from the front door, the welcoming front porch, and particularly loved our twilight walk up to the meadow with it's sweeping views of pasture and sky. There were visits from deer who bedded down for the night in the ferns just steps away from the house and a plump woodchuck in the field along the driveway. Mourning doves and all sorts of birds provided birdsong. Coyotes sang at night. The whole weekend felt restful and magical. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Wann

Growing up in a major city out west (Phoenix, AZ), I never expected to find such an amazing property in such a secluded location. We stumbled on this property while living and working just north of Madison. Supported by my son (Wyatt), daughters (Anna; Estelle; and Charlotte) and husband (Steve), I have been able to fulfill a childhood dream in this breathtaking log home.

Why they chose this property

From the first moment we stepped foot on this property we just knew that we had to be a part of it. Every time we come up the driveway the whole world melts away and an inner peace falls over us.
