We had stayed at this B&B last fall for the first time and I was wondering how it would compare now that it had been sold to a new owner. Dean and Theresa did not disappoint! Dean was very welcoming, informative and the coffee was on early in the morning. He warmly accepted my request to have my college student... More

We were privileged to stay at Villa Calma Bed and Breakfast for two nights recently. The property is lovely, the hosts, Dean and Theresa, made us feel like it was our home. We enjoyed breakfast both days, and also enjoyed the snacks that were out in the evening. A quiet walk on the snow covered path beside the lake was... More

Great property on the lake in a lovely town. Wonderful hosts. Comfortable with yummy food. Will return someday... either bike ride around the lake, ice fishing or water sports. A walk along the waterfront trail and a cocktail on the back porch may also be on the horizon... so much to look forward to for any guest.

We stayed at Villa Calma while our daughter attended day camp at the Concordia Language Villages nearby. Harold and Kim are excellent hosts--friendly and informative while also respecting guests' need for privacy and time to relax and enjoy the beautiful porch, deck, and yard. The food was astonishingly good; Harold is a true chef and takes great pride, care, and... More

After a tough summer studying for the Minnesota Bar Exam, I couldn't wait to get away for a break! So my husband & I decided to visit Bemidji for the first time during Labor weekend which was also my 30th b'day weekend. We loved staying with Kim & Harold. They are amazing hosts & own a beautiful home. They also... More

My wife and I went to villa calma for our first anniversary, which also happened to be our first experience in the bemidji area. Immediately after arriving, we felt right at home. We stayed in the florence room and enjoyed the intimacy of having a private bathroom and our own balcony. The breakfasts were perfect with mango soup and blueberry... More

My husband and I stayed one night in July, while on our way to pick up our daughter at Concordia Language Village. Friendly and welcoming inn keepers, nice, clean and peaceful room, cheese and wine in the late afternoon and great breakfast in the morning made me feel right at home.

Apart from our lovely room where we slept soundly in air-conditioned comfort during a heat wave, I particularly enjoyed the several public areas...an air-conditioned great room, a bright screen/windowed enclosed porch, a deck with umbrella tables, and a yard with a hammock on the tree-lined lane along the lake. My early rising husband was able to get his tea and... More

A friend and I were biking the Paul Bunyan and Heartland trails, and treated ourselves to a night at a B&B in Bemidji. We had accumulated a number of questions about geography, history and agriculture, and our host, Harold, graciously made time in the evening and after breakfast the following day to answer the questions. Harold grew up and worked... More
