I arrived really late and was greeted by a guy in a good mood. That set the tone for the rest of my stay. I felt at home and totally at ease in a very comfortable room. Breakfast was very good and the hospitality was even better. Lots of good stories about a very interesting property. Lots of common area... more

I arrived at 11 pm and was greeted by a smiling face. I felt wlecome from the moment I arrived. The room was large, the breakfast was plentiful, and the internet was free. They made me feel at home and that's all I really want. more

Jon and Linda have laboured for many years to restore this amazing building. Now they labour to maintain it. A treasure of architecture and history. A very special bed and breakfast. Highly recommended. Mary Simpson Pure Stock Muscle Care Drag Race weekend in Stanton MI, second weekend in September 2008 more

The Saravilla continues to be a favorite place for us to stay! This is 3rd visit and all have been excellent. Jon and Linda take care of every detail and the historic home provides a lasting impression of classic architecture. The home is large, yet intimate. Rooms are very large and well maintained. Breakfast is served in the dining area... more

The decor is in tune with the "grand old house" feel of the place. Our hosts were more than wellcoming, really helpful and charming, without being intrusive. The daily breakfast is varied... more

The house is so beautiful, loved the hot tub that is in an enclosed area, it really hit the spot. Our room, the highland room, was huge, as was the... more

Our stay at Saravilla was absolutely lovely, start to finish. We knew of the place, but had never stayed there previously. Saravilla was every bit as beautiful as we had hoped, from our first glimpse of the gorgeous exterior of this three-story, Dutch colonial manion built in 1894 down to each authentic, tiny little detail on the inside. We were... more

My brother and I grew up in Alma, MI in the 1950s and always admired the mansions on State Street built by early lumberjacks. Never did I dream that I would one day be a guest. My brother and I were guests from July 24th to July 28th. Our stay at Saravilla far exceeded our greatest expectations and now I... more

Spent two mights at the Saravilla and am now hooked! A lovely room with a lot of ROOM~ also a fabulous breakfast too! The hosts were interesting to talk to and knew when to appear and when we needed our privacy. The room and bath (a private bath for each room in the home!) were immaculate and we had everything... more
