Lola became the General Manager of the  Osthoff Resort nearly 20 years ago.  She's one smart cookie! From all of her accomplishments, you can see she's truly dedicated, diligent and well rounded. She received a Legacy Award given by the Wisconsin Department of Tourism and is a past Chair of the Wisconsin Governor’s Council on Tourism. She has served as Chair and Board Member for the Wisconsin Hotel and Lodging Association, and received the Association’s Innkeeper of the Year Award in both 2002 and 2012.

​That's a lot of great experience to draw upon and so I asked her a few  questions about spa and wellness.

What makes Aspira Spa Special?
Aspira means "infused with spirit" and was created as a place to be surrounded by nature and in peace. The spa is located on the banks of river, shaped like an elks head and considered to be sacred by Native Americans. We embrace healing wisdom from indigenous people, not only from Wisconsin, but from around the world. We describe our spa experience as being holistic and organic with a revernece for nature and balance.
