"Great place to stay. Highly recommend this B&B as an option while visiting the Bemidji area or Lake Itasca State Park. Affordable, quiet, great breakfasts and wonderful conversation with hosts Dick and Jill. We will have to return to go fishing with Dick and to pet and play with their dog Scarlet."
"My husband, son and I stayed here for one night. Wish it could've been longer. The house is charming, spotless and comfortable with a big yard where we played with hosts Jill & Dick's adorable dog. There's also a great path right out front where you can walk along the lake into town. Our son went out early one morning with Dick Beardsley's fishing guide service and had a blast. He accidentally left a stuffed animal behind. Jill found and returned it promptly. We loved meeting them and hope to return next year."
"To begin, this is such a pretty and quaint bed and breakfast, but it's really so much more than that! Jill and Dick Beardsley are the innkeepers and you couldn't find two nicer people if you tried. Jill's breakfasts in the morning are truly something special, not to mention her snickerdoodles in the evening and if you are lucky enough to nab a slice of her peanut butter cake, then you are lucky enough. But if you are a runner, stop reading now and just book your room because you'll get to meet/hang out with Dick Beardsley and that's a life experience that should be on every runner's bucket list. (Dick was one of the best marathoners in the world in the 1980s, and has an incredibly motivational story-- worth googling him!) Dick is an amazing story teller, he's funny, kind, and humble. He is just an amazing all around person. Now, if you love to fish, you are truly in luck because Dick is also an incredible fishing guide, with 50 years experience. He taught me how to fish during my stay here and I caught more fish than I could count! We were laughing and joking the whole time and just had a blast. This was a trip of a lifetime and we have some awesome memories to take home from our stay at Lake Bemidji Bed & Breakfast!!!"
"We are driving back to the Twin Cities after 4 wonderful days and nights at Lake Bemidji Bed and Breakfast. Our room was amazing, the view great, and Jill’s cooking was a joy each morning. She was also very accommodating when we arrived later than expected the first night. Several perks we had not anticipated: a shared ‘Family Room,’ with books, couches, and cozy blankets, a complete kitchen, and a washer and dryer. The location is also perfect for walking into downtown. All in all, lovely experience, and I highly recommend it. We’ll be back in the Spring!"
"The BEST! Really, that says it all. Jill sets an excellent table in a perfect setting.
And don't forget to book a guided fishing trip with Dick!"

"My brother stayed here during my college graduation. Dick and Jill were so accommodating and thoughtful and the property was absolutely gorgeous! I would recommend to anyone visiting the area."
"Perfect retreat, with stunning views of Lake Bemidji and delicious food. Close to everything in town while remaining peaceful and zen. The guest suites are immaculate. I've visited in June and February, and can't wait to go back!"
"From the moment we walked in the door we felt at home! The accommodations were so lovely and Dick made us feel like family! Breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed the wine and appetizers in the late afternoon. We are looking forward to returning and spending more time at this lovely place and exploring the fun that is Bemidji!"
