We go to Winnipeg almost every July to visit family and friends and to attend the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival.  During our most recent 3 visits, The Columns have enhanced our vacation.  
This mansion is one of the most beautiful B&B's we've ever stayed in.  Most of the first floor has the original magnificent architecture.  The rooms are spacious and comfortable; several have their own balconies.  The remarkable outdoor living space in the backyard, facing the Assiniboine River, must be seen to be believed...it's a little piece of heaven!  
The breakfasts are bountiful and delicious!   (Don't believe the website which says they serve a "continental breakfast".   You probably won't need lunch after tucking into one of the magnificent breakfast buffets.)  There's even very good sherry and chocolates on offer for later in the day/evening.
The location is perfect.  The Columns are in a tony, very quiet old neighbourhood called Armstrong's Point.  But it's only a few minutes' walk to 4 major bus routes which can take you to downtown Winnipeg in about 20 minutes.  (Winnipeg is very spread out, so a 20-minute bus ride to get to downtown is a short ride.)
But it's the owners - April and Diamond - who make The Columns really special.  They make their guests feel so welcome.
Next time you're in Winnipeg (or if you live in Winnipeg and want to pamper yourself), treat yourself to a superb B&B experience and stay at The Columns.

A remarkable , very special B&B 

Wonderful rooms and atmosphere!   A great breakfast in a gorgeous dining room with many options every morning, fresh fruit, coffee, eggs, fresh juice etc. Beautiful antique home with a very knowledgeable couple as hosts.  

Historic b and b at Armstrong point

We were visiting Winnipeg for a family gathering and we chose the The Columns as the location was perfect for us; walking distance to town and our family gathering.   Upon arrival at this gorgeous, stately old home, we were greeted by ouApril our host.  April led us  to an enchanting room with exquisite linens on a king bed and spa-like bathroom that was the largest bathroom I've ever enjoyed, a bubble bath was now on the agenda.  Due to COVID, the sit down buffet breakfast are on hold,  however the  little room pantry was stocked with coffee, crackers, bread and muffins, and the fridge with cream, butter, orange juice, brie & cheddar, as well as a goodie basket  overflowing with treats such as nuts, cookies, chocolate, tortilla chips & salsa,   

If there are any future visits to Winnipeg, we'll be staying at The Columns.  Thank you April & Diamond for a delightful stay in Winnipeg.

Sincerely, Jude & Michael

Delightful and relaxing BnB in the heart of Winnipeg.

Enjoyed six nights in this elegant, heritage home and B&B.  We loved the Henry Moore room: it was spacious, with all the facilities plus a lovely balcony overlooking the tree-lined street at Armstrong Point.   The bed was very comfortable with cool, soft linen. 

The breakfasts were exceptional.  Every morning there was a feast of home made hot and cold dishes, sweet and savoury.  There was something different every day and everything was delicious, especially the mushroom caviar and meat pie.   Breakfast was shared with national / international guests and eaten beneath a lovely chandelier. 

We also appreciated the afternoon tea and evening sherry with chocolate.   

A luxurious home-from-home.   Thank-you.

It's all about the gourmet breakfast and the super comfy bed

The Columns B and B is a stately heritage home on the Assiniboine River in a lovely area of Winnipeg called ‘The Gates’. The entrance to the B and B is dominated by the signature white columns and the main floor common areas have high ceilings, oak floors, wood paneling and chandeliers. The guest rooms on several floors upstairs are beautifully updated with such mod cons as AC, deluxe en suite bathrooms, flat screen TV and pot lighting.  The old and the new complement one another beautifully.
Our compact room on the top floor had a queen-sized bed with an excellent mattress, lovely white linens, a skylight, a chesterfield for lounging, mini fridge, microwave, armoire and a fabulous, large en suite bathroom with tiled floor, a long soaker tub, large separate shower with sun shower head, endless fluffy white towels, robes and had all the bathing essentials on hand. 
A buffet breakfast (included) is served each morning at a long dining table with formal place settings. The host prides herself in putting on a meal that provides the basics of cereal, yogurt, fruit and pastries and eggs/toast plus a selection of extras such as lox, crostini, and various homemade specialities. Many extras. Quite unique. 
Common areas include various outdoor deck spaces and a lounge where you can help yourself to sherry.
The reception is warm and the surroundings welcoming and homey. The location is central and convenient to The Forks and to downtown. We’d stay here again. Recommended.

Lovely combination of old style charm + modern amenities 

We stayed at the Columns in Winnipeg for 2 nights and couldn’t have been more pleased. April was an accommodating host and the breakfast service was amazing. The home is a beautiful, stately presence in close proximity to the downtown area and situated beside the Assiniboine river.We were visiting Winnipeg for a Paul McCartney concert. April provided us with a map to a quick and easy parking area to get to the venue. Conversations with her also revealed that my husband and she were elementary school companions!

Superb!

My husband and I just returned home after 4 nights at The Columns.  We had a wonderful time walking around the historic neighborhood, sleeping in the comfy bed in the beautifully decorated room , and selecting delicious items at breakfast (every bit as good as people say).  We particularly appreciated the interesting breakfast conversation with the other guests and April, who has a vast knowledge of all things Winnipeg and was a kind and generous host. We plan to return.

A wonderful place to stay

We stayed for a couple of nights while having some ,medical appointments at a nearby hospital and would return when we could enjoy the full ambience of this spa like setting. The Host could not have been more hospitable! We loved the restoration and the breakfasts were a gourmet treat. Lovely linens and a variety of accommodation is available. Very relaxing and an interesting stay. We will go back and have recommended it to many friends.

Beautiful place!

This B&B has such great potential. The house is so lovely (not quite as nice as the pics but nice), and generally pretty clean however my room needed to be vacuumed.  All of the amenities and more were available. Breakfast was timely but maybe too plentiful. I was there for several days and the guests were just not eating many of the 8 a.m. brunch options. I prefer to see the basics done well rather than offering too many things.
