3 Things to Think About When Looking for One of the Best Fall Vacations in the Midwest.
Fall in Wisconsin the Way It Should Be Enjoyed.
There’s nothing quite like fall in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. And there’s no better place to experience it than at The Osthoff Resort & Spa. The trees are changing, the night air is crisp, and it’s a little less crowded than in the summer. There are many reasons why people have been making us their go to fall getaway season after season. But here are what we consider to be the top three. Warning: They’re probably not the things you’d think.
The Sounds of Silence.
Urban life is noisy. Traffic. Sirens. Construction equipment. After a while, these sounds become a given.
A sonic backdrop that even though loud, often gets tuned out. But just because people get used to these noises doesn’t mean they don’t have an effect on our overall health and wellbeing. Nestled in a village with a population of just around 900 and miles from what you’d call a city, things are different here. Certainly not as busy and definitely less noisy. It’s funny, we sometimes hear from guests (and yes, we can hear them) that their first night sleeping in silence takes a little getting used to. Well, all the more reason to book a few nights.
Stars. Stars. Stars.
As we mentioned earlier, the night air in Wisconsin in the fall is crisp. And being far from major cities, it’s also clear. So after a day of looking out over our beautiful Wisconsin fall leaves, we highly recommend a night of looking up at our brilliant stars. Thanks to our extensive grounds, there are a variety of places where you can catch the greatest light show in the universe. Look up while taking a night stroll along our walks or beach, enjoy them from a bonfire (don’t forget the S’mores), or simply grab a blanket and lay back under our amazing blanket of stars. Here, the sky’s the limit as to how many stars you’ll see in the sky. Not sure what to make of so much celestial stimulation? There are many free apps that use your phone’s GPS to tell you what you’re looking at. Constellations, the Milky Way, planets, and even satellites can be spotted here. And if you’re lucky enough to spot a falling star, don’t forget to make wish. We usually wish for another crisp, clear night.
A Quantity of Quality Time.
If you’re looking for one of the best fall vacations in the Midwest, some may say that it’s all about the place. Here, we’d like to think that it’s also about the people. Sure, our staff will go out of their way to make your time here memorable, but it’s the people you’re coming with that will make your stay truly memorable. Whether visiting as a family, with a bunch of friends, or just as a couple, chances are one of our fall vacation packages will help you make the most of your time here together. From enjoying one of our many activities to catching an event to rejuvenating at our spa to gathering at one of our restaurants, we want to provide you with a quantity of opportunities to spend quality time with loved ones. Why? Because even though we have a shop where you can buy things, the greatest gift you can take home are stories. And those are the souvenirs that are priceless.
At The Osthoff Resort & Spa, it’s less about the getaway, than it is the takeaway.
