Spacious room with every amenity imaginable
Casey
Great views, awesome room, and great owners. They went above and beyond making our stay fantastic. All staff encountered were extremely polite and helpful. We loved the property’s gear shop, balcony views and paddle boards and kayaks.
Krista
Very quiet and comfortable place to stay the night before the next leg of our trip. Right next to the lake.
Kim
Charming lake side micro resort. Our room was clean. We enjoyed the balcony. Caught some beautiful sunsets. We would definitely recommend The Blue Wave Inn.

Rooms are big and include everything you need for a comfortable stay. View is spectacular. Very happy with our stay.
Raja
The room was clean and right on the water. Really cool
Donna
Very unique! Sand Bar for breakfast excellent!

A wonderful place to spend a night listening to Lake Superior lap the shore and coffee on the private balcony facing the lake. Peaceful and beautiful.
Michael
Excellent!

debra
The property is very unique. The decor in our room was beach themed. Loved the rain shower in the shower. The bed was very comfortable. Being so close to the lake and sitting on our balcony listening to the waves was wonderful. There is also a walking path between the hotel and the lake. The property offers a small cafe with food, craft cocktails, coffee, and ice cream. We really enjoyed our stay. Although it is located next to the highway, it is very quiet. We did not hear any traffic at all.
Julie
Large room, comfortable bed, oversized shower and great views
Patrick
Great
Jeffrey
Nice place!
Ruth
Beautiful rooms with a unique design RIGHT on the water. Very comfortable and clean. Traffic noise was quite loud as we were on end room. This was definitely exasperated by LOUD drivers. Close to town and parks and restaurants. Enjoyed our stay!
Ann
Loved the balcony and beach view as well as location on the walking trail, restaurants, and town. The shower is something special.
Lynette
A very relaxing place to stay. The Captains Quarters is on the road side so some road noise but out on the beach was very relaxing and a great place for coffee and a sandwich. Lots of seating indoors and out and a fire pit.
Chantra
Katie and the rest of the staff, along with the room, were amazing!
Bekka
unique property and really fun place to stay! easy check in/check out, cafe on property is convenient and tasty. great location for the surrounding areas and affordable.
Pamela
Large room with area for coffee/water and fridge. Lovely shower with waterfall. Room and facilities were clean and nicely appointed. Balcony looking at Lake Superior and area to sit and relax on the lake. Friendly staff. Cafe on site. Nice location - quiet and restful but close to things to do. Can't wait to go back!
Deborah
A lovely little hotel right on the water with amazing views. Rooms were decorated with care and had a theme! Beds were comfortable a d amenities were great. There is a Cafe downstairs but unfortunately it closed early and we could not try it for dinner. There were several other dining options nearby so it was fine. I am sure the area is hopping in warm weather. It was super quiet when we were there. Highly recommend!
JOHN
Facility was excellent, room was spacious, attention to design, a hiddengem. Private owner which we prefer if possible.
small but excellent staff. I will stay here again if we are overnight in the area.

Julie
Great people. Water view was outstanding. Room was clean. Loved it!
Jean
The room was clean and was on the 3rd floor, and the building has an elevator. When I arrived, there was no one in the building and I had not received instructions for my arrival and had to call and leave a message. I shortly received a text and got settled. I had the Captains Room which was fine but had no true view of Lake Superior due to high, slanted windows. The lighting was too dim for me in spite of the three lamps and sink lighting. I know this is a new age of contactless entry etc., but this felt impersonal and I would have appreciated a return phone call instead of just a text. Price was O.K. and the location for furthering my travels was good for one night.
Terry
This is a very nice place, located right on lake Superior. Food is great, service is great, very friendly. Only drawback is a slow elevator. Since most places don't have one in the areas, I didn't care. Worth staying at for sure.
Megan
Great views, great room. Good WiFi and nice owners!
Robert
cool, unique, well appointed rooms. some thought was put into design .
Kathleen
The hotel was exceptionally clean, very quiet, and relaxing. We have stayed at the Blue Wave in the past and absolutely love waking up to the beautiful scenery and lake. Our stay was cut short but will definitely stay again.
Kevin
We didnt stay, we switched hotels due to no elevator....not working. 3 floors, no thanks. The heat wasn't working correctly either 85+ in the store, lobby, bar area. They did offer to check for a room up the way & bought us a beverage in the bar area. They claimed they notified us..but didnt include information in the email text??
Annette
Beautiful rooms and views.
Kyle
Love everything especially the view
Jamie
Clean room and fun decor right next to my favorite lake!
Kallen
A corner room, clean, super nice
Neal
Great stay!
Samantha
Great hot tub, nice restaurant on site with seasonal specials. Amazing views from room #3! Will definitely be back!
Ryan
Excellent view and a nice clean room! Happy hour at the Sandbar was great as well.
Alicia
The proximity to the water was amazing, literally right outside the door. Our room was spacious and clean. No microwave in the room itself but there was one right outside our room for guest to share. I’m sure the staff are great but we stayed during a time when staff was scarce but we still had everything we needed. I wish we could’ve enjoyed the sandbar cafe but again it was closed until the day we checked out.
Nick
Yes room looked right out at the beach. Absolutely beutiful. I did not go to the bar.
Gilbert
As much as I don't want to say this, this place was worth way more than I paid for. Amazing design, I'll never forget my stay. Thank you for making it memorable and fun for me and my family. I wish every hotel was as nice as this hidden gem.
Kathy
A great place on Lake Superior.

We stay here on our way snowmobiling. We love the easy after hour check in. It works out great as we arrive late in the evening. No worrying we're going to miss our check in. Thank you
floyd
Everything was good!
Maria
There was a bar/restaurant downstairs but since we were trying to isolate prior to my husband's transplant next week, we didn't go there. The view of Lake Superior and access to the beach area was great. The only staff person we interacted with was by text/email (because of our desire to isolate). Response times were very good.
Chad
We loved are stay. The Captains Quarters was adorable. We are definitely looking forward to our
Robin
Very clean room, lots of extra bonuses that came with the room (wine glasses, bottle openers, nice shampoos, great view of the lake, large open spaces). Felt like a pampered experience. Great large shower with two showerheads. Would go again.
Charles H
Clean room, great view, large shower
Gerald
Very nice rooms with a beautiful view
Chris
Unique, beautiful room on lakefront. First rate. We got room for very reasonable price in off season. Location is on a busy road, but noise was not terrible. Room #5 Captains Quarters could have used another chair (1 chair for 2 guests). Staff was very helpful. Cafe downstairs is convenient for a quick lunch and has beautiful views of lake.
David
Very nice unique hotel right on Lake Superior. The room was excellent and had a balcony overlooking the lake.
Lee
Such a charming place. Clean room, cozy comfy bed, great breakfast spot with superb view.
Kelly
Extremely helpful and welcoming staff. Room is very clean and comfortable. Feels cozy and safe. I'd definitely come back. Thank you so much!
Juliana
It definitely had all the wonderful benefits of a hotel but did not feel like one at all. The rooms had more of a posch & homey feeling as they were not ordinary rectangular shape but had their own nuance of space.
The shower was insanely awesome with a waterfall and regular showerhead!
It was easy check-in, easy check-out, clean, beautiful views, and the cafe and store attached were really cute, cozy, and delicious.
It was a great middle ground place to meet our friends and decompress for the weekend.

Great view, comfortable bed, awesome shower!
Mark
Wonderful accommodations
Yasuhiro
Great cabin！
Great cabin！
Melissa
We absolutely loved the place. The view was spectacular!
Michael
The room did not have a deck overlooking the water - we were expecting a deck! The room was dark (decor & lighting) & dusty with cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. The table was unbalanced with a small porthole window overlooking an electrical power plant. Traffic noise was annoying and the property had minimal food options!
STACEY
Comfy accommodations in a cool building on the edge of a fun town!
Adam
Clean, quiet, and friendly. Great view on the lake
Debra
Unique, on the lake, great location, clean.
Mary
Comfortable Stay with a View
Our room was great - looking out over Lake Superior was quite lovely. Microwave and coffee supplies are set out in the hallway in addition to what’s in the room. Katie, the owner, is hands on making sure everything is running smoothly and made us a great cup of coffee at the Sandbar. There is also a wonderful sporting goods shop on the property.
Amy
Really unique with an outstanding lake view. The sunset last night was simply stunning from room 1. Very nicely furnished and very clean. We enjoyed having breakfast sandwiches at the on site cafe. I suggest you supply cushions for the chairs on the balcony. My only criticism is the Murphy bed. It was very uncomfortable and I moved to the couch in the middle of the night. The Murphy beds would be fine for kids but not for guests who are 60+. The king bed was very comfortable.
Susan
Loved the lake view with the balcony. I would definitely recommend
Jeanette
A Must Stay!
This was a very unique hotel. Very few rooms and incredible views. The room was ginormous and so cozy. The shower was huge and had two heads! It was an easy check in and check out process. The cafe downstairs was wonderful. We would most definitely stay here again and will recommend to others!
CYNTHIA
Beautiful views from our room - loved the balcony and the outside area. The room was well appointed and the bed was very comfortable. Only 4 stars because we were on the top floor and were awakened several times overnight by a mechanical hammering noise coming from above us. Also the TP was gas station scratchy and I expected something a little more plush to match the rest of the atmosphere.

Our 54th anniversary trip
An outstanding place to stay for our anniversary.
Jeffrey
Packing up kid after four years of college. Stayed in Ashland many times the past years, first time anything was available here. Beautiful setup inches from Lake Superior. Great view, close to eats, good coffee in room, artesian well steps away. Best, coldest water you’ll ever taste!
Scott
Blue Wave Inn was exquisite
Uwe
Went on a lake trip stayed lake front found good places for dinner
Lisa
The view from our room was stunning. Quiet, comfortable, friendly staff.
Diane
Unique venue, amazing view, charming appointments.
Fred
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!

Robert
My room was fabulous! The room was very large, quiet and the view of the lake made my morning perfect! I can’t say enough about how good the shower was!
Dale
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.
Marjorie
Nice accommodations. The room was nicely appointed and roomy.
Terry
Just a family getaway from the ruckus of life. It helped, room was well worth it. Staff were excellent. Bar, food, overall hospitality was beyond excellent. Easily recommend this place for anyone. Very quiet and relaxing. Access to the lake was perfect!
Nicole
Great place to stay!! Highly recommend!!!
Billi
This is our second time staying here and we can’t wait to get back again! Beautiful rooms, amazing views of Lake Superior and seamless check in and check out. The Sandbar is a favorite for yummy coffee drinks. Amazing place!!
Daniel
This place was going to try and scam me for a $100 dollar lots key fee. They use traditional keys and have a notice that if a key is lost that they charge $100. They also instruct you leave keys in room upon checkout. Luckily I took pictures of the keys when i left. They contacted me 5 days after my stay and asked me about the missing key. I responded with the picture of the keys and told them to not bother scamming me to which they responded \"okay\"
Jennie
Very nice place!!!!

You’ll be hooked!
Love this property, inside and out! Unique and unparalleled Lake Superior shoreline experience.
