Washington House Inn

My boyfriend and I stayed here for the Memorial Day Weekend, and had the most wonderful time. We rode our bikes to Port Washington on the Interurban Trail, walked around the Maxwell Street Days market, toured the Pioneer Museum, visited the local Cedarburg shops, became locals at the great sandwich place next door, and even got to see the Memorial Day Parade (which passed right in front of the inn!). The breakfast was fresh, ample and delicious, and the room was spacious, yet cozy and romantic. It was a perfect way to get the warmth of a B&B and the lovely small town environment while still having modern and luxurious amenities. Come visit the Washington Inn House. You will not be disappointed. We will certainly be back!

Absolutely wonderful! So glad we chose the Schroeder house. It was romantic and special. Thank you!

We stayed there from 5-22-12 thru 5-24-12 and loved it.....room was great for the price, breakfast and wine and cheese were great...will definitely go back.

Washington House Inn has been a favorite of ours for many years. It's always comfy & cozy. The staff are warm and helpful with any questions you might have. The cleanliness has always been spot on, which matters to me if I'm going to be sitting in an in-room whirlpool bath. The rooms we've stayed in have been maintained quite well. However, the single whirlpool bath in this room did show a quite bit of wear to the finish on the metal parts. Over all it was still a very relaxing visit.

My wife and I chose the Washington House Inn to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary and what we found was amazing. The room was quaint, relaxing and inviting. The location was great for seeing beautiful downtown Cedarburg by foot. The cuisine both at the wine and cheese pre-dinner snack and the morning brunch had that home-made deliciousness unlike anything offered by a hotel.

A well maintained historic building with modern amenities. Well appointed decor and special touches, All the staff were friendly and helpful. A great location to see the historic parts and shops of Cedarburg. The rooms with the exposed brick walls were very cool. Loved our one night stay there, would stay again if need to be in Cedarburg.

Rooms - Our room was extremely comfortable, the bed was more large enough for my tall husband and gave me room to stretch out as well. The hot tub felt wonderful after a day of shopping in Milwaukee and wine tasting. We have stayed in this room before but still a pleasure and very enjoyable. Service - Very friendly and even though the credit card machine had troubles when we left I had no doubt in my mind knowing that everything would be taken care of. Value - Because my husband and I come back year after year we knew what to expect, the price is always fair and we plan on returning again and again. Cleanliness - Exceptionally clean, it's like mom has been there! Dining - Breakfast is awesome! It is one of my favorite things about staying at the Washington House. The wine and cheese in the afternoon, just an added bonus and wonderful touch! Thank you again for another wonderful stay! See you next year!

a great place! The breakfast was better than most continental breakfasts at other locations.

Although some of the rooms can be rather small, the decorum and style of the building fit into the small town experience that we fell in love with! We opted for one of the suites that had a jacuzzi tub and living space, and high vaulted ceilings. The wonderful check-in host gave us suggestions for later evening dining, and the breakfast was worth staying at the b&b most of the morning. We will most definitely stay here again!

Our tow day stay was a joy for us. On arrival we were met by the friendly staff who were more than helpful. We forgot our toothbrushes and they were kind enough to gives us two from their supply closet in addition to letting us polish off a bottle of wine from the complimentary cheese and wine social that takes place every night. The guest house was charming and reminded me of England. The decor was not tacky or twee but very in-keeping with the tradition of the building. The room was superb; a great size, clean and warm. The sheets were unbelievable and it was a nice touch to be able to buy them. Most places have scratchy sheets but these were perfect. My wife and enjoyed the free dvd library and took advantage of the amenities. We would recommend the Anvil as the place to eat; cheap but delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere. The gem of our time was the discovery of a micro brewery around the corner from the Inn. We went in and were met with a goldmine of a pub. We were there for an hour and when we left we were met with 4 inches of snow - a perfect night. All in all it was a great couple of days away. Reasonably priced, comfortable, pleasant, heartily recommended!

One of the most relaxing places to get away for a weekend you could find.

This was our first BB that hit everthing right on! The rooms were awsome, the town was charming and the the staff was very personable. Thumbs up!

We stayed at The Washington House for our anniversary!! We had 1 of the larger rooms that included two levels with large jacuzzi.The Inn is beautiful and takes you back to a lost era.The staff were all very welcoming and knowlegable about the area eateries,activities etc. Breakfast was wonderful as was the evening meet n greet with wine and cheese. We will definatly visit again.

Enjoyed our stay at the Washington House Inn, again! Definitely our favorite place to get away to. Comfy. Clean. Quiet. Convenient. Love the atmosphere, at the Inn and also in Cedarburg! You've just got to ESCAPE TO THE WASHINGTON HOUSE INN! L & B

We stayed in room 214 which was amazing. I did not want to leave. The fireplace and bathtub really provided a relaxing experience.

From the moment you arrive at the Washington House Inn you know it's going to be a wonderful experience. From the vintage decor to the friendly staff it's five star all the way. Be sure to attend the wine and cheese social in the evening, and sample some local wine and share your day's adventure with other guests. While they will bring breakfast to you in your room, I HIGHLY recommend having it in the gathering room, not only is the selection better, but it adds to the experience. The breakfast is all home made right there in the kitchen and is just like grandma used to make!

My wife and I stay in Cedarburg at least once a year and alway look forward to staying at the Washington House in. The Wine and cheese hour is a great way to start the weekend. The rooms and beds are wonderful and the morning breakfast is something to look forward to. We will be coming for many more years to come!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Washington House Inn, we will be back after having such a great time, friendly people, service and great shops.

Great little B&B in Cedarburg. We always stay here when we're in town.

We loved it! Awesome room with neat exposed walls and charming furniture, a cute downtown area with lots to do. Nice breakfast, friendly staff, clean rooms- we would stay again!

One of our most pleasant stays at a bed and breakfast. Can't wait to do it again!

Excellent wine bar in the early evening. Unbelievable home made breakfast "goodies". Fresh squeezed juices, pastries to die for, and a "hot breakfast ham & cheese bake" that exploded with taste.... New Berlin, WI

This was our second stay at the Washington Inn. We bought a nice package thru living social that included movie tickets, winery tour and a gourmet taffy apple. The movie tickets and winery tour tickets do not expire so we will be using those during a future visit as I am sure we will return. We love the wine and cheese tasting hour and their breakfast is always like going to Grandma's after church. My on wish is that they would offer a vegetarian egg dish. Always an enjoyable and relaxing experience.

Second stay for us. The first stay we used a Groupon and enjoyed it enough to come back. Enjoyed the wine & cheese evening and the unusually good dining room breakfast in the morning. Plus, our room on the lower floor had an exit on one side that led outside to within a few steps of the dining area, and an exit on the other side to the parking and street areas. Very cozy, very happy.

As we drove away from the Washington House Inn, my wife started to fill out the Inn's comment card and asked me about the first item. I interrupted her and said "just rate every category Excellent". That's the best way to describe our stay at the Washington House Inn: "excellent in every way".

This was a great Bed &Breakfast, perfect location in town and very quiet. We didnt know how many people were staying at the Inn until we went down for breakfast. We stayed in the Fred Asche room and loved it. It was very cozy and the bed was very comfortable. We are already trying to figure out when we can go back.

This is a wonderful Bed & Breakfast and we are always excited to come back.

Our stay at Washington House Inn was wonderful. The sleep experience was relaxing and comfy! We enjoyed the cheese and wine tasting while meeting other couples. The breakfast was great! There was so many choices and everything was delicious!

we have stayed at the washington house, a bunch of times, and will continue to do so, but.......when we came down for breakfast at approx. 9:30, any hot food that had been served was gone, and no one offered to make more. also, when we walked back through the lobby an hour or so, later, many of the staff were sitting in the dining room eating what i think should have been my breakfast.

We regret that we ran out of a breakfast item prior to the end of our breakfast service.We do hope you enjoyed the other selections on our "expanded continental breakfast buffet" that morning. Those included: Banana Cake, Crumb Cake, Maple Scones, Cranberry Scones, yogurts, organic hard boiled eggs, fresh strawberries and pineapple, a selection of artisan breads for toasting, an assortment of cereals, and granolas, fresh squeezed orange juice, as well as tomato and cranberry juice, and of course our coffee and tea choices. We do extend an invitation to our staff to enjoy any items that remain after our guests have been served, and our breakfast (7AM-10AM) ends. We are delighted you have stayed with us prior to your past visit, and plan to stay with us again in the future. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

We have stayed here many times and will keep returning this is the perfect location for a weekend getaway.

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful night at the Washington House Inn. The best part was we got upgraded to one of their suites for no extra charge! The room was fantastic, and once we were checked in we didn't want to leave. It was a very refreshing and romantic get-away for us.

The Washington House Inn was a tremendous place to get-away and celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary.

The room was great! My husband and I enjoyed our time here. The room wasn't as clean as I had hoped with the glassware in the room appearing dirty.

We have stayed at the Washington House Inn, in various rooms, on several occasions. Each of our stays have exceeded our expectations. The evening reception and morning continental breakfast are wonderful! Staying over Christmas while visiting family has become a family tradition and we would never consider staying anywhere else.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for this wonderful review! It was like Christmas for us here to open it.

- Wendy J. Porterfield (innkeeper)

The room was perfect - clean, wonderful. The hot tub was great, bed cozy, wine and cheese excellent and breakfast was worth leaving that relaxing room. Can't wait to come back.

We stayed in a fabulous room with accommodations for three people. It was comfortable, spacious and lovely with a vaulted ceiling that never left us feeling crowded.

This was our third stay at the Washington House Inn and the first time in the Shroeder House. Each stay has been better than the next. I highly recommend the Shroeder House Room #2. Very comfortable, relaxing and private. There is a great front porch overlooking town if you like to sit and people watch. Homemade breakfast was delicious! Would return in a heartbeat!

We love staying there. The personal are friendly the rooms are very clean and homey. Its in such a nice little citywith everything in walking distance. We will go back again...probably many times

Staying at the Washington Inn has become a tradition for my wife and I during the Christmas holiday. It provides a chance for us to get a little time by ourselves during the hustle and bussle of the holiday season. Cedarburg has a lot to offer during the holidays and the Washington Inn really makes the experience special. The historical character of the Inn is great and festive. The rooms are impecably maintained and provide everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The evening wine and cheese party and the hearty breakfast offer a nice upgrade over most B&Bs. We will be back for sure

Loved this location, this was an amazing experience. VERY clean rooms, service is top notch, these are the nicest people. The rooms are so comfortable and the beds are amazing! I highly reccomend this property.

Had been here 24 yrs ago. They had expanded but this did not deter from the ambiance of the inn. So warm and welcoming. It won't take as long to get back again.

Wonderful place to stay. Everything was outstanding. Cederburg is a great walking around town. Enjoyed our stay. Be sure to place your shoe outside the room door at night.

A simply beautiful room with two levels and lots of charm. Loved the location and the decor. Breakfast was yummy and a perfect way to enjoy the day after the holiday.

We had a wonderful stay at the Washington House Inn. The room was well-maintained, clean and very comfortable. The food at the social hour and breakfast was delicious and abundant with many healthy options. The friendliness of the staff really enhanced the warm and comfortable atmosphere. We'll be back.

I was in the Cedarburg area on business, and found my stay at the Washington House Inn to be in a great location, the room was comfortable, free Wi-Fi, and a handy self-serve breakfast that had me on my way the next morning.

My husband brought me here to celebrate my 5oth birthday and to give us a much needed break the Washington House fit the bill for both! We have stayed here many times over the past 13 years and we have always had a comfortable stay, with wonderful food, beautiful rooms and very gracious hosts. I was very pleased with the fact that they now provide a choice to dine downstairs or have your breakfast delivered to your room at the time of your choice. I can't wait to go back again!

Room was exactly as advertised A bit on the pricey side Very clean and service was stellar Not many "nice" restaurants in the local area

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We are glad you enjoyed your recent stay with us. I wanted to be sure you are aware for your next visit, that we do have menus for our local restaurants available. Many of the guests peruse these will enjoying our complimentary wine and cheese hour. Innkeepers are always happy to assist and direct you to the establishments that suite your dining pleasure. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

The rooms at Washington House Inn are genuinely old but nicely appointed, with a soft terry robe, thirsty towels, sumptuous pillows and thick bed coverings. I especially enjoyed the steam shower (what a treat after a chilly day)! I expected an excellent breakfast, and it was- look out for the yummy souffles. Wine and cheese in the evening is an extra bonus, and the Vidalia dip is not to be passed on. Last but not least is the local shopping, with fair prices and a nice selection in many small shops. Cedarburg rocks!

We wanted to celebrate our wedding night somewhere special and different. We certainly found our place!! Our room was very clean and beautiful. We enjoyed the wine tasting hour and the breakfast was wonderful too! Cedarburg is a lovely town to explore and the shopping is great. A very positive experience for our first visit to a B&B! Already planning the next trip and this time we are hoping to bring friends! Thanks for making such a special day even more memorable!!

sent to cedarburg and the washington inn for business but found the town and tbe hospitality a very nice surprise

Nice clean rooms- sheets were so comfy! and breakfast was better than expected. even had gluten-free bread option for my wife. also loved the wine and cheese hour. we will be back.

Breakfast was spectacular. We stayed at the Schroeder Guest House in Room 1. We found our room to be spacious, clean, and comfortable. The whirlpool bath tub was delightful. We plan on staying there during future trips to Milwaukee.

What a fabulous place to stay! We chose the Gertrude Schroeder room (SH1) which is part of the Guest House. The 'private' (not really, but it felt private to us) garden right out side our door was a great place to relax and have a glass of wine. The room was absolutly charming with a modern whirlpool tub and stand up shower. I only wish we had more time to stay!

We have been staying at the Washington House for quite a number of years and they only seem to get better. The facility and rooms are consistently clean and everything is so well maintained - fresh paint and clean tile in evidence everywhere. Room #212 is extremely nice for a special or longer stay. They breakfast has improved over the last couple of years due to them consistenly offer more protein food options. As always, everything is homemade and delicious. We highly recommend a stay or many stays at the Washington House.

My husband and I took a mini-honeymoon here for three days and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! The service was inpectable-very timely and considerate. The dining was fantastic, an arrray of options at every breakfast! Washington House Inn was extremely clean and the staff were very helpful in whatever we needed. We would recommmend this bed and breakfast to anyone!

The W.H.I. has been my husband's and my retreat for 19 years now. Each time we come it's like the first time. The Inn is quaint with each room having it's own special uniqueness. The staff is so welcoming it feels like we're family. Breakfast is so good and fresh and even delivered to your room if you so choose! The Inn is in the middle of town where you can walk to so many interesting shops. There is an old movie theatre next door, a wonderful little bar down the block with excellent dinners, a nice park with a creek to sit by and just relax (maybe with a bottle of wine and cheese, etc)....what fun and romance can be had here!! Walk to the Cedarburg winery/shops. The Inn offers rooms with a fireplace, jacuzzis and even lofts (we like the room with the loft...where we have our breakfast)!! This is one, if not the best B&B we have stayed at. Give it a try and I'll bet you'll want to come back over and over again. It is like a little slice of heaven!!!

Its just a lovely place with such nice people, and Cedarburg is a wonderful old fashioned town, that you just wish you lived in.

We were pleased to take advantage of the special April room rate received via email, that got us $30 off of our room in the Schroeder Guest House. This is our 3rd stay at the Washington House Inn, and we will definitely be returning in the Fall. This time we stayed in room #3, Adeline Lehman. The room size was good, but having stayed previously in #4, Ida Kuether, I prefer #4. The door to the room in #3 is fairly close to the bed, and I think there is less privacy because of that. #4 was much more open and private. The over-sized hot tub fits two very nicely, and the bathroom was ample in size and spotlessly clean. The staff, as usual, was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. 5-6 is a free wine and appetizer hour, which we always take advantage of, and the breakfast is fantastic. Great, fresh, home-cooked meals, a variety of delicious baked goods, fresh juices, yogurts, etc. make it something we look forward to. I recommend this fine establishment whole-heartedly.

Very inviting lobby- loved the wine and cheese get together in the afternoon. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable about the surrounding area and very accommodating. The room was beautiful- loved the antiques, the fireplace was so inviting, as was the jacuzzi. Missed breakfast but was able to sample some of their breads- which were delicious. Fantastic night- would definitly return.

What a charming historic place to stay, conveniently located within walking distance to many interesting places. The staff exceeds expectations to take care of your wants and needs! Breakfasts are delicious, nutritious and offer something appealing to everyone. The wine and cheese hour is the "frosting on the cake" to a wonderful mini-vacation.

My wife and I had a great time at the Washington House Inn. We stayed in the King sweet which was fantastic. The place as an old style charm, but it is all very clean and nice. I wasn't too impressed with breakfast. It was good, but they do a buffet and it is not as good as some places where you get your own made to order meal.

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay in our Deluxe King Suite. I wanted to respond to your breakfast comments. We refer to our breakfast as an "expanded continental breakfast buffet". Although not "made to order" we do offer our guests a wonderful selection. Each morning we feature a different hot entree, our freshly baked goods, seasonal fruit, selection of juices, and many protein items as requested by our guests. Please visit our website where we proudly display our award winning Cherry Pecan Scone with Maple Butter recipe. We also post a requested recipe each month in our newsletter, and again on our Facebook page. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

We found the Washington House Inn to be very friendly and accomodating. We liked the steam bath in the shower, it was relaxing.

It's like going back in time, but still having all the amenities of today. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Rooms are each different and charming. Breakfasts are yummy with home baked good and lots of fresh fruit. I have been coming here for 20 years and always look forward to my next visit.

We have been guests at the Washington House Inn for over 20 years and each stay is more delightful than the last. Every room has its own unique personality. The entire Inn is small, the staff is personal and the entire stay is a little bit of heaven.

We were looking for a historic place to stay, so the inn was just our style. The wine and cheese bar was very nice and so was the morning breakfast offering.

Although we live within 5 miles, we wanted to try the WHI. What a treat for one day! The WHI was very comfortable and enjoyable with a friendly and helpful staff. Myriad dining opportunities; a beautifully restored movie theatre next door; a local winery to visit; exploring and shopping to your heart's content were just a few of the many attractions...and all within walking distance! Time well spent.

My husband and I visited the Washington House Inn for the weekend and we had a great time. The room was smaller than I expected, but it was very nice. The steam shower was wonderful, and the cleanliness of the inn was outstanding. The breakfasts were very nice - - more than I expected for a continental style breakfast, and the wine and cheese service in the afternoon was wonderful. We definitely plan on coming back to the Washington House Inn. There are some good restaurants and shops, and the town is very quaint and pretty. It snowed very heavily one of the days we were there, and it felt like we stepped into a Thomas Kinkaid painting. Just beautiful!

great service--friendly staff--cozy rooms--amazing sheets!! I love to go with my girl friends--and I love to go for a quick get away with my hubby

This was our second stay of two nights at the Washington Bed and Breakfast. We enjoyed both stays very much because the staff is very helpful and friendly. The rooms are decorated very tastefully and comfortable. Some of the rooms are larger than others because in the hotel itself they are smaller and if you want to spend alot of time in them ask for a room in the ajoining building where the rooms are a bit larger. Downtown Cederberg is a historic city near Milwaukee.

I visited the B/B in Cedarburg Wi. and stayed at the Washington Inn, and I must say the service and the rooms exceeded my expectations. They had great customer service and the food was outstanding. They were very clean and the value was worh it. You can find some cheaper, but I would strongly recommend this one. They had several cable stations to choose from, unlike many hotel rooms. All in all excellent place to stay.

The atmosphere is so old fashion, we love it. The wine and cheese hour is relaxing and allows you to meet other guests. Unfortunately with the price increase this year we wont be able to come as often.

We've been visiting over the past 10+ years and have never been disappointed! We stayed for 2 nights on our last visit, and wanted to stay in the Deluxe King Suite. Since it was only available for our second night, we thought that we would just stay in a different room the first night. To our surprise (and delight!) the staff got us in the Deluxe King Suite for BOTH nights! We WILL be back!!!

Very nice room at Schroeder House, though a bit pricey for the little time we spent there. Excellent service, clean room and grounds, cozy wine hour and breakfast. Caution: Washington Street, right outside our window is very noisy on a Saturday night. Will return often: although in a cheaper room - WAY too much to do in Cedarburg than sit a room!

Very clean, quiet, comfortable and welcoming. The accomodations were excellent and so was the cocktail hour. Breakfast was great - something different every day!

We won a B&B package through our local PBS station in Chicago. The Washington Inn was one of the best we have stayed in. Loved it!

Wonderful place to escape the busy world-- comfortable beds, wine & cheese reception in the evening was great way to unwind, yummy breakfast, quiet!

Our stay was Wonderful! The continental breakfast was awesome as well as the wine and cheese social hour. Very Comfortable room! The staff wsa very nice!

Very great! Clean rooms. Great perks of visit. Will recommend.

We stayed in room 303 and loved everything about our stay. The staff was friendly, the decor was a beautiful balance of contemporary and antique, and the location was impossible to beat. A wonderful place to stay!

This Inn is really outstanding we’ve stayed here for over 20 yrs & we are always pleased!

Washington House is a great inn, filled with charm, history, and ambiance. Each visit is an absolute pleasure. What agreat city to relax in and explore. The inn is a treasure within a treasure of a city!

Everything from the room to the breakfast was excellent. The folks running the inn were so gracious and helpful.

The Washington House has been our special get away for 15+ years. Sometimes alone, sometimes with couples (friends and family). But this is always an outstanding stay.

My coworder and I were in town for a trade show and heard few details about the Inn. It was wonderful! We loved the wine & cheese evening snacks and the breakfast in the beautiful dining room. I can't wait to bring my husband back!

I have been staying here on business several times per year for the last 3 years. I look forward to each stay at the Washington House Inn in quaint little Cedarburg, WI.

The Washington House Inn is a beautiful historic building with elegant rooms that are clean and comfortable. The continental breakfast was delicious.

a beautifully restored old house - I wish I had another night or two to stay on and enjoy
