Cedarburg is the perfect destination to visit any time of the year thanks to its variety of fun festivals: be enthralled by the festive lights and ice sculptures during the Winter Festival; cool down and taste freshly-plucked strawberries at the summer Strawberry festival; or enjoy a fine selection of craft beers and wines during CedarBrew.
Fans of nature will love Cedarburg’s proximity to over 30 miles of hiking and biking trails on the Ozaukee Interurban Trail. In fact, the Washington House Inn is located only one block from the trail.

A Bed and Breakfast Brimming with Charm
The Washington House Inn has a total of 34 unique rooms, including 5 rooms that are located in the Schroeder Guest House that is just a few doors down from the main inn.
When you first step foot into the Washington House Inn, one of the first things you’ll notice are the rooms, which each have their own name! Each room is aptly named after an early settler of Cedarburg, such as the William Schroeder, the first postmaster, in room 205; the Frederich Hilgen, the founder of Cedarburg, in room 305; or even the Theodore Hartwig, Cedarburg’s first doctor who lived and practiced in the original Washington House, in room 102.
Perhaps one of the most requested rooms is Room 222, the Dr. Frederick A. Luening — and for good reason! This gorgeous Deluxe King Suite, referred to as the crown jewel of the Washington House Inn, is truly fit for a king. The suite has a split level design, with the bedroom on the first floor and a loft containing a wet bar and entertainment area on the second floor.
Climb up the wrought-iron spiral staircase in this Cedarburg WI bed and breakfast and enjoy teatime on the balcony, or enjoy a serene night’s sleeps.
