"Booked the Blue Wave for a last minute trip. Was an absolute gem and the owners have clearly put a lot of thought into making the property a great place to stay. Didn’t anticipate an after hours check in but was given correct and easy to follow directions. Getting into the room right before sunset was amazing. The view of the bay can’t be beat. While I didn’t get to try the onsite cafe or the fire pits, everything looked well maintained. Would highly recommend choosing the Blue Wave for a more quaint and charming stay!"

"We recently stayed at Quality Inn for a Girls Trip to Ashland/Bayfield. We were pleasantly Surprised and Very Pleased with this Motel. The Check in was quick & Friendly- and our Room was Great!! Right off the pool area. Our Room & the motel were both Very Clean, updated & Nice. Everything was well maintained & working. The beds are exceptionally Comfortable! The only downfall was the Breakfast- it was ok- but not well stocked- and food was dry & overcooked. Coffee was Awful. We could have stayed at many other motels in the area but I’m glad we chose this one- we will Definately Stay here again when we come back."

10/10 Excellent
"My family and in-laws wanted to make a last-minute holiday weekend trip to the Apostle Islands for some Lake Superior kayaking. We were incredibly lucky that these guys had a last-minute cancellation. The house is as pictured- spacious with panoramic views of the lake. It's a quirky design in that it appears to be two homes that have been connected. We were 4 adults, 4 kids and had room to spare. HUGE kitchen stocked well with everything you could need. This was the first VRBO I have ever stayed in where I didn't spend even a minute trying to find a cooking implement- it was all just there. Clean sheets, tons of towels, You'd need a year there to get through every board game and movie they have in the shelves. Huge highlight was the enclosed terrace overlooking the lake where I had my tea in the morning. House is on a quiet street away from town which was perfect. Herbster or Cornucopia are 15 minute drives, so just stock the fridge early. Hosts very responsive although I didn't really need them much since everything was right where it should be."
