    We had a very nice weekend in Bemidji Villa Calma was one of the nicest places I have ever stayed and the cleanest. The house is a short walk to the campus and downtown restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed our short time there very much.

    What a lovely B&B and wonderful inn keepers! The saying goes that "the difference is in the details" and Harold and Kim obviously know that! From a gorgeous room with chocolates and squishy bathrobes to snacks and wine in the evening and scrumptious breakfast in the morning, not a single thing was overlooked. They even purchased vegetarian sausage for me for breakfast - what a delightful surprise! We had a great time and will certainly be back!

    My husband and I were so amazed and pleased at how wonderful Villa Calma is. Harold and Kim were so nice and wonderful to talk to. They go out of their way to ensure you have a wonderful time. There was so much to do. There are games and movies that you can watch. You feel like you are at home. The breakfasts were AMAZING!! I wanted to finish my plate, but was full after the very generous servings. I recommend this B&B to everyone. I will be going back in 2 months.

    We stayed at this bed and breakfast for 3 nights. The service and food was excellent and the room large, comfortable and clean with a lovely view. Our only regret was that the weather turned a bit cold and we couldn't enjoy the large grounds. We look forward to staying here again.
