Fred and Kiya Bachmann are avid travelers who have visited many spas in the U.S. and around the world. Drawing from their extensive experiences, they have established the luxurious Stay Spa Retreat and Lakefront Townhome on Castle Rock Lake in Wisconsin.
“We wanted to build a spa suite that gives our guests the features that we loved the most,” says Fred. “This way they don’t have to travel thousands of miles to experience the hot and cold plunges in Japan or the grottoes and eucalyptus mists in Thailand.”
Fred, a second-generation luxury home builder, and Kiya, an esthetician and massage therapist, combined their skills to design and build the Stay Spa Retreat. Together, they also own and operate a well-regarded swimming pool and spa business in Madison.
They built the Stay Spa on some of the best waterfront in the state—a beautiful stretch of beach on the fourth largest lake in Wisconsin, with an ocean-like view of the water as far as the eye can see, complete with waves crashing along the shore.
The Stay Spa Retreat features a Spa Suite with hot and cold plunges a eucalyptus steam room, a six-minute lifelike storm sequence, and the option for in-house Spa Services.
Fred and Kiya invite guests to enjoy a unique spa experience and create lasting memories with the best amenities, without having to leave the comfort and luxury of the Stay Spa Retreat. After all, why settle for just a day when you deserve to stay?
