The weather was cold and windy so we were unable to enjoy the patio or outdoor facilities. We didnt have the opportunity to experience the bar or restraunt due to a private party being held during our stay. The room was very nice and we would stay there again.

Blue wave inn is such a gem! I’ve been wanting to stay for a while and so happy for the lovely experience on the shore of Lake Superior. Will be back for sure!
Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025

The Blue Wave Inn is located directly on the water. We woke up to wonderful sunrises and ended the day with spectacular sunsets. The limited amount of rooms makes for a quiet, restful stay. It’s the exact opposite of a large, chain hotel! The contactless access makes checking in and out simple and easy. My wife especially enjoys the jetted tub, and I was impressed with the large, walk in, dual head shower. The water pressure is as good as I’ve ever experienced in a hotel! If you’re looking for a higher end hotel, that’s easy to find, easy to get in to, is close to a variety of restaurants, you’ll want to stay at the Blue Wave Inn! This was our second stay, and it won’t be the last!

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!
