Cedar St Suites announces the addition of a new guest Suite in the heart of downtown Elkader, Iowa.

Cedar St Suites is completing renovations of an 139 year old building that certainly has its own story. History transformed this building from a church, to a doctor’s office, to a beauty salon and apartments. The owners focused on recycling material and using reclaimed and renewable material sources in transforming what were previously three apartments into comfortable contemporary guest suites, complete with modern amenities. Other strategies incorporated were to keep the environment in each space simple, comfortable and peaceful.

The City of Elkader has once again survived extensive flooding of the Turkey River and continues providing several fall, winter and spring attractions from outdoor events to Opera House plays and musicals. Combining casual comfort with Iowa hospitality, Cedar St Suites enjoys a convenient location in the downtown historic area of Elkader, Iowa. Fall is especially beautiful in northeastern Iowa as the leaves turn and winter begins to slowly move across the Midwest.

Iowa travelers are invited to enjoy their own apartment-sized space, own entry, and the comfortable styles of these one and two bedroom Suites. Amenities include furnished kitchenette, satellite TV, High Speed Wireless Internet access, keyless entry and snacks. Enjoy the Opera House, historical buildings, fishing, shopping, eating and beverage establishments, and more all within three blocks. Enjoy a home away from home all to yourself in the roomy Suites.
