Fabulous!
Blue Wave is a fabulous place to stay. We were torn between going out and doing stuff or staying in the beautiful room just looking out at the lake. So peaceful!

Excellent stay
We loved our one night stay at the Blue Wave Inn. Such a unique property right on the water. We stayed in December so we couldn’t really enjoy our patio or the other outdoor sitting area, but we were still able to enjoy the beautiful view! Our room was very clean & bed was comfortable. Check in was easy & the staff at Solstice Outdoors were very friendly. We had one small issue & the owners were super responsive & quick. We also loved the convenience of the coffee shop/cafe right downstairs. Would definitely stay here again!

This is a unique and interesting property. We can sit on a balcony and look out over Ashland Bay. It is a large and spacious suite, for about the same price as a cell like motel room.

I travel 100 nights a year for work. This is THE BEST gem I’ve ever found. I absolutely loved the property and my room. Extremely clean, inviting, and the best hotel bed I’ve ever slept in. I’m considering coming here for a vacation to bring my wife for a few days just because of how great this place was.

This was a very unique place to stay. I didn’t realize it was contactless and everything for information was sent to me. I contacted the number if any issues not knowing what to do and they called me within 10min. I know I might be old fashion and prefer a check in person but I managed. It was actually a lil creepy at first because the store and lil coffee shop wasn’t open yet you could go in building and there wasn’t a car at place at all. The elevators are very slow but they did work. It’s actually at a nice convenient spot to stay. We didn’t use the chairs outside with fire pit because we were clueless since no one there on what we could’ve done. The room was fixed up nice and bed was comfy. I was bummed ice machine didn’t work and I didn’t want to go to town for ice.

Our room was perfect & the bathroom was so beautiful. However, the traffic noise was very loud. The windows did not offer much of an opportunity to view anything. Otherwise it was great. I tried to find out about the history of the building but nothing.
