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.
