The Osthoff Resort

The Osthoff Resort is the premier full-service lakefront conference resort in the Midwest, a AAA Four Diamond property on 500 feet of pristine shoreline on Elkhart Lake that has been voted Best Lakeshore Resort and Best Reception Facility by Wisconsin Meetings Magazine and offers 240 beautifully appointed rooms and suites alongside 38,000 square feet of first-class meeting and banquet space capable of accommodating groups from 10 to 1,500. The resort's setting in the village of Elkhart Lake provides a walkable, characterful backdrop that most Midwest conference properties cannot match, with Road America's motorsport complex nearby offering corporate group karting and ATV adventures, waterfront dining and live entertainment steps from the property, and seasonal programming that ranges from dueling piano shows to nationally touring musical acts at the resort's own entertainment venues. A nationally recognized Aspira Spa, an on-site cooking school called L'Ecole de la Maison, and a wine program of genuine distinction complete a property that punches well above its market weight. One hour from Milwaukee and accessible from Chicago, the Osthoff makes a strong case that the most productive Midwest meetings happen at the lake rather than in the city.
