This was a unique property with only 5 rooms. Beautiful property. The elevator is glacially slow but clean and maintained. The coffee shop and store on the first floor were very convenient and comfortable. The rooms are spacious and lovely.

When I visit the area, I find that the Blue wave inn is very unique and I like the idea of the Inn bringing in the history of Ashland throughout the inn.. I always mention the Blue wave to friends when they go to the Ashland area to stay there.

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!

I recently stayed at this wonderful place for a business trip that lasted two nights, and I must say, it truly is a gem. The location is beautiful, offering stunning views that added to the experience. The rooms were tastefully decorated, spacious, comfortable, quiet, and impeccably clean, which made my stay very enjoyable. Additionally, I want to highlight the exceptional service provided by Katie, who was incredibly accommodating. Given my positive experience, I am now planning on returning for a leisure trip.

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!
