The room that I stayed in did not have a microwave or a coffee pot in my room or in the common area. The parking was limited. The locals come to eat at the restaurant while the individuals staying at the hotel had difficulty finding a place to park. Would have been nice to have the local park in the back lot. You had to walk outside in the cold to get to the fitness center. The two dogs next door barked most of the night. The restroom could have used a place to put makeup supplies limited room on the sink. The towels need a better place to be other than on the side of the tub...what do you do with them while you are taking a shower? The local restaurants in the area were not operating because of it being off season.

Amazing open floorplan and atmosphere for lobby bar/restaurant area right when you walk in. Greeted by warm friendly, welcoming, and smiling staff, creating an amicable vibe. This is like a hidden treasure in the middle of a small country town. A welcoming haven of warmth and cheer in the midst of chilling winter. You’ve got to check The Wave out and see for yourself! Other highlights include gorgeous view of lake and sun rise from several rooms as well as the restaurant; peaceful and romantic; warm and cozy. Rooms are fresh, crisp, clean. Wineries nearby and within walking distance of the lake, a park, historic lighthouse, and quaint little town of shops and cafes. Food is original, tasteful, scrumptious, and eye appealing. Overall, bugie, bohemian, modern vibes! Very welcoming, calming, good feeling, and fresh atmosphere! Really good music playing in the background.
