    Bemidji is amazing!!

    October 16, 2012

    This was our first stay at a B&B and we don't ever want to stay in a hotel again if they are all like this one!! There were never any awkward moments. The other guests were so polite. The owners were very great at taking care of everything we needed. They even went the extra mile to make sure I had something to eat. I was nine weeks pregnant and they took into consideration my extreme morningsickness. Breakfast was awesome. The location couldn't have been more perfect, right on the lake in a beautiful neighborhood. There had been bad storms the week before and you really couldn't tell.

    Excellent value for business travel

    October 15, 2012

    Highly recommend Villa Calma. Harold was a great host, friendly and accommodating without overdoing it. Left before breakfast was served but he sent a good continental bfast with me. Price was competitive with national hotel chains in the area.
