Cedar Rose Inn in Alexandria, Douglas County, United States | Bed and Breakfast | Inn

Welcome to the Cedar Rose Inn, Bed and Breakfast, Alexandria, United States. The Cedar Rose Inn Bed and Breakfast was built in 1903 by Noah P. Ward, one of Alexandria's most successful businessmen in an exclusive residential area of Alexandria named the Silk Stocking District. Today, the home still retains its original exterior structure with oversized gables and diamond paned windows. The interior design includes a collection of antiques, original maple wood floors, oak woodwork and numerous stained glass windows. You will be greeted by arched oak doorways, a vast open staircase and tiffany chandelier, which are all reminiscent of the early part of the century.

The walls in the library, living room and dining room have sculpted plaster in the acorn and leaf motif and trailing vines and leaves. . .a traditional symbol of hospitality. You are invited to curl up in the parlor with a classical book or relax in a window seat nook by a warm crackling fire. Or you may decide to just enjoy an evening on the veranda swing while watching the sunset. In the morning, you'll savor a full country-style breakfast with freshly ground coffee in the immense dining room. Breakfasts include such treats as fresh fruit, pancakes, omelets, egg bakes, French toast, sausage, caramel rolls and muffins.

This historic home, which is on the National Registry of Historic Places, also has a wonderful history of serving guests. Over sixty years before it became a Bed and Breakfast, our Inn was known as the "Hostess House" because it served as the site of many weddings, anniversary celebrations, special dInners and other functions. In fact the previous owner baked dozens of caramel and cInnamon rolls each week for the guests. That tradition continues today. Don't be surprised if the smell of freshly baked caramel rolls seeps in under your door to wake you in the morning.

Your Innkeepers are Florian and Aggie Ledermann. They are available to talk with you about this unique home and the people who have lived in Cedar Rose Inn over the past century.
