ELKHART LAKE, WI. August 19, 2015 - Midwest meeting, retreat and convention planners looking for the perfect venue, conveniently close to the office yet far from the distractions of daily life, need search no farther than southeast Wisconsin's Osthoff Resort. The serene setting of this AAA Four-Diamond lake front resort and conference center will wash away any remnants of the daily grind and let ideas and conversation flow as clearly as the spring-fed waters of the pristine lake it overlooks.

Set on beautiful Elkhart Lake and rimmed by trail-filled woods, The Osthoff offers world-class meeting and banquet space for groups of 10 to 1,500; an experienced and professional staff, spacious and elegant accommodations and unforgettable recreational activities sure to please everyone. The resort's beautifully designed conference center features decor reminiscent of the turn of the century yet offers all the technology required to make any meeting a success. All meeting facilities are easily accessible to the resort's spacious guest suites, two restaurants and the award-winning Aspira Spa.

Voted best lakeshore resort in 2014, by readers of Wisconsin Meetings magazine, The Osthoff offers 38,000 square feet of meeting space that includes:

• The Grand Libelle Ballroom The resort's largest meeting room, The Grand Libelle Ballroom accommodates up to 1,500 guests for theatre-style presentations or receptions. Sound proof sliding panels allows this ballroom to be divided into smaller meeting rooms for increased flexibility. • The Palm Garden Ballroom Accommodating more than 400 guests in a classroom configuration, 1,000 theatre-style or up to 600 guests for a banquet, the Palm Garden ballroom also can be divided into smaller meeting rooms. • Villa Gottfried Room and the Villa Gottfried ParlorIn addition, the Villa Gottfried Room and the Villa Gottfried Parlor, which features a fireplace and comfortable seating, perfect for breaks or receptions, are located in the Conference Center. Additional meeting space within the resort features windows and outdoor patios, providing attractive venues for both meetings and receptions.

The Osthoff also offers professional team building services, experienced-based learning programs and planned group activities geared toward a wide range of fitness levels. Group activities range from scavenger hunts and wine tastings to volleyball tournaments and group Olympics, and can be tailored to individual organizations.

More unique experiences include group cooking classes at the resort's L'ecole de la Maison cooking school. In these deliciously inspired courses, participants work together to achieve a common culinary goal while bonding with colleagues, fostering focused communication and improving work relationships through food and fun. The resort's Aspira Spa also offers relaxing and revitalizing Team Spa group treatments.

Attendees also can bond on The Osthoff's private, recreational beach, with its onsite watersports center offering kayaks, canoes, paddleboards or hydro-bikes or other watercrafts available to explore Elkhart Lake—deemed the state's purest. The lake has a natural sand bottom that keeps its water crystal clear year-round. Formed by retreating glaciers and shaped like an elk's heart, it was considered sacred by the Native Americans who believed it bestowed powerful natural energy upon all who encountered it.

For those who do their best brainstorming with clubs in hand, surrounding Sheboygan County features world-class golf courses, as well an adjacent 27-hole golf course, some of which host PGA Championship, Ryder Cup and U.S. Women's Open tournaments. And at the end of the day, the conversation can continue to flow as guests meet on the shore to take in a spectacular or beachfront bonfire before settling into luxurious, all-suite accommodations for a restful night's sleep.

“We pride ourselves on hosting exceptionally enjoyable and productive meetings and conferences,” said The Osthoff General Manager Lola Roeh. “Our beautiful setting and fun activities inspire attendees long after they are back home.” For more information, visit http://osthoffmeetings.com or call (866) 310-8115.
