Cedar Rose Inn

"5 of us came to Alexandria for a work class. We wanted an option other than a hotel and fast food. This property couldn't have been more perfect! The meals were amazing and the host was more than accommodating to our every need. We will be back!"

"First time experiencing a B&B but we felt right at home. Brenda made a delicious breakfast and gave us the history on the beautiful house. Would highly recommend."

"Husband and I stayed at the Cedar Rose Inn and were impressed by Brenda the Inn Keeper. Upon arrival we needed accommodations for a late check-in, which she graciously accepted. As we arrived we were greeted with lemonade, sweet treats and a tour of the home and room. We stayed in the Alma Anderson room. It was spacious with a closet, area for sitting and a spotless bathroom (with a clawfoot tub with whirl pool jets and complimentary bath soaks). The entire room was clean and to my surprise there was no odor (I expected for a historic location to have a little odor, but there was none which was a nice surprise). The breakfast took place at 9 AM and was plated. Brenda made everything from scratch and it was impeccable (my husband is a former Chef and paid compliments himself). For breakfast we were served a vegetable quiche, sausage, yogurt parfait with granola, fresh vegetables, and an assortment of fresh homemade bread (banana, peach, and blueberry) served with cinnamon butter and a glass of orange juice, water and available tea and coffee. The location of this bed and breakfast is strategic as you are just minutes away from walking downtown Alexandria, off Broadway. We visited the Depot for a bite to eat (right on the lake) and visited some boutique and antique shops in the morning after our morning breakfast. Thank you so much for the great hospitality provided to us! Definitely would stay here again when visiting Alexandria!"

"The rooms are cute and comfortable, and definitely give you the historic experience (in a good way). The beds are comfortable, the place is very clean, and the building has a storied history, which the host will be happy to tell you all about over a delicious, beautifully presented breakfast (and great coffee). I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area."

"Brenda is doing an amazing job running this beautiful Victorian home! The place is impeccably clean, breakfast was delicious and loved the history of the home. The front porch is a great place to sit in the morning with coffee or do yoga or enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. She is located downtown convenient to The Garden Bar on 6th for the most amazing dinner and close to breweries. Not far from Carlos Creek Winery, 22 Northmen Brewing and Stone pizza connected. Simply the BEST place to stay when visiting Alexandria, MN."
