Perched
above the peaceful and sacredly held Elkhart Lake, the Osthoff Resort has been
a landmark on the Midwestern map since 1886. A grand renovation has elevated this
luxurious resort to first in class. The Osthoff's crowning jewel is the Aspira
Spa, which is inspired by the land's Native American original inhabitants. The
indigenous people believed that the lake, shaped like an elk's heart, was sacred
and imparted a powerful natural energy. Meaning "infused with spirit,"
Aspira treats guests to relaxing and therapeutic services that heal the soul with
organic indulgences and spiritual energy. An in-suite Element Bath is the ultimate
decadence for those who enjoy a deep spa soak in herbal essences while watching
flames dance in a fireplace as an esthetician performs a scalp massage and back
exfoliation. Utter bliss. Another highlight is the Balneotherapy Bath within the
Chromatub, a healing light therapy incorporating deep tissue massage and lymphatic
drainage. A spa suite built for two allows couples and loved ones a private haven
for soothing side-by-side holistic treatments like Crystal Chakra Balancing Massages.
More amenities include Vichy Shower treatments, specialty facials, spa
pedicures and manicures, salon services, a sauna and indoor and outdoor whirlpools.

Lush
greens and lake house-inspired architecture greet guests as they arrive at Lake
Geneva's The Abbey Resort, a 40-year favorite that has recently undergone a $40
million revitalization. The modern update maintains the resort's "cozy cottage
roots" with a rustic décor set off by luxurious stone and marble furnishings.
A considerable investment has been made at The Abbey's Fontana Spa, a posh
retreat with ultra-exclusive, five-star service. A special emphasis is placed
on sea marine Thalssotherapy here, a practice of using purified seawater, seaweed,
algae, mud or sand for toning, moisturizing and revitalizing the body and skin.
The Fontana's "Thalsso" relaxation ritual, which precedes all of its skin care
services, involves applications of oil and thermal sea clay along the spine; together
they create a warm foam that encourages the body's absorption of the sea's healing
extracts. And that's only the hors d'oeuvre. House specials on the Fontana
menu include the Golfers Swing and Trilogy Massage, Cellular Hydration Facial
and otherworldly Hydrotherapy Baths. These herbal soaks pour on the potent aromatic
solutions derived from rich botanicals like wildflower, pine and chamomile. Additional
attractions not to be missed at The Abbey are its 35,000-square-foot sunlit atrium
pool and a 407-slip marina with a boat launch that sets sail on everything from
scenic boat tours to parasailing. Taste culinary perfection in the posh Fontana
Grill that serves the finest regional fare of steaks, chops, seafood, salads and
traditional steakhouse sides. Don't let a chill in the air keep you from discovering
The Abbey's winter wonderland during the colder months. Take to the slopes or
a cross-country trail at nearby Kettle Moraine State Forest and Big Foot State
Park. The Fantasy Hills Ranch offers sleigh rides, and there's an ice skating
rink on the premises. Create your own Rockwell holiday. The
