Try It and You Will Love It:
The Columns is a full service Bed & Breakfast situated in Winnipeg's Downtown only a few minutes car drive to all of the major attractions in the city. The beautiful Victorian style house is a delight to your senses and features 3 beautiful rooms & 1 two bedroom suite, each decorated in a unique style. Well, I stayed at this lovely Bed and Breakfast for 10 days during August & September 2008 along with my daughters. We found both April and Diamond (Owners) lovely, helpful and very accommodating. The Suite (Crystal Heeg Suite) was fabulous and we found the breakfast to be wonderful The breakfasts were excellent and amazingly varied. The bedrooms are spacious, beautifully decorated with antiques and have extra comfortable beds. April is a very attentive host and made us feel like it was our home and not just a room for the night. We sometimes got back late at night and we had lovely chats in living room with the hosts. As with all older properties, almost constant maintenance is a must and The Columns is no exception. April has done an excellent job renovating and continues to repair or replace worn out parts of their home as required. My daughters and I have stayed at The Columns and will be staying many more times since I will be coming regularly to visit my daughter who is studying in University of Winnipeg. My suggestion is “Try it & you will love it.” ......MINNI VIG,
Doesn't Get Any Better:
Recently had the immense pleasure of experiencing the hospitality and ambience at this unique and outstanding b and b. Close to mid-town activity yet situated in a quiet, historically interesting neighbourhood, the house itself has been tastefully and sensitively renovated, preserving its' heritage with a fresh, contemporary interpretation. As they continue to expand, this in no way detracts from the outstanding service and quality provided. The rooms are overly-generous in space and amentities and the beds provide for a truly heavenly night's sleep. April is a wonderful hostess - energetic, witty and attentive, as well as having culinary skills worthy of a five star restaurant. Her gourmet breakfasts are unbelievable and an evening sherry with her and Diamond invites interesting and lively conversation. One of our most memborable stays anywhere.........S. & K.

Home Away From Home:
My family (parents, two brothers) and I stayed at the Columns during Thanksgiving weekend. It was the perfect place for a family reunion. April was very accommodating and is an excellent chef. Her breakfasts are delicious -- not only is there a selection of cereals, yogurts, fruit and pastries, she then prepares a hot meal, too. She offers afternoon tea and homemade baked goods and sherry and chocolates in the evening. We were spoiled!! The rooms are spacious and comfortable and stocked with the amenities of a fine hotel. We felt as though this was our home. On a future visit to Winnipeg -- I would definitely stay at The Columns.............

The Best Part of Our Trip:
We absolutely adored The Columns. The room and bathroom were so beautiful, with a luxurious, cozy bed and gorgeous dark wood furniture. The best part, though, was having breakfast (always delicious) and listening to April's stories! ...

Loved It!
We went to The Columns for our Honeymoon and it was it was pure Luxury! We stayed in the Crystal Heeg suite. The bed was the most comfortable that I have ever slept in! The breakfasts were absoultely fabulous and the soaker tub was to die for! I enjoyed soaking and watching the Plasma which I found to be so wonderfully relaxing. The fully body shower was pretty neat too! April also made arrangements for us to have a massage therapist come to our suite which was an awesome bonus. We will go back again! ......C.

April, I have thoroughly enjoyed my timje here with you in your home. In fact, the words are difficult to find as they will sound so hyperbolic. Your home is beautiful; the room, its ambience, furniture and fixtures are exquisite. The towels are gorgeous….all those extra little touches that make one feel so welcomed and pampered…the food is delicious and in spite of all of that – perhaps what has made thiss experience so memorable is the time I have spent with you,l your warmth, graciousness and your engaging personality and conversation. Thank you for all of that. I can only hope that I will return soon.
