Guest Reviews
- Beverly (10/5): Great !! - Quaint .. easily accessible Porch needs work but it was early in season to be outdoors
- S Mahoney (10/5): Very lovely accomodation. - An absolutely lovely historic home. Quiet, clean, comfortable. We had a fantastic mini history tour with Kelly when we arrived. Plenty of parking. It is quite close to downtown Alma. We are in Alma with some frequency and this property will certainly become a favorite first choice. Lots of spots on the first floor to simply chill out and grab a cup of coffee or tea. Counter space in the bath is limited, however, that's not a big deal for us.
- shannon (10/5): Would recommend your home to all my friends! Thank you - breakfast was wonderful and present/ cooked with care! Also just loved the over history of your home Appreciate the effort to get to know your guest1 NA
- Antosia (10/5): -

- Gail (10/5): Excellent hosts, delicious breakfast, great service! Highly recommend! - Beautiful, elegant B&B, spacious rooms Nothing
- Michael (10/5): I’m a regular and will be returning. - Great All great
- April (10/5): -
- mckenzie (10/5): -
- Danielle (8/5): - The main floor was beautiful and well maintained. The second floor where the private rooms are could use some TLC. The carpet in my room was extremely well worn and the private bathrrom's linoleum floor seemed out of place and poorly installed with gaps visible to the subflooring.
- Jennifer (10/5): -
- Gabrielle (10/5): - A beautiful historic home - enjoyed our stay!
- Chris (10/5): - Loved staying here. Kelley was a great host in telling of the history of the home and property and serving up a hot breakfast. He joined us along with other quests at breakfast for more conversation. Very nice!
- Emily (10/5): - We really enjoyed staying at this historical property!
- Amber (10/5): - Kelly was very knowledgeable about the property and history of the house. Very kind, friendly and welcoming.
- Alicia (10/5): Best hidden gem! - Most amazing place I have ever stayed! The owners are the nicest and give you a tour of the house when you first arrive! We will be back for sure!! I cannot wait to stay in every room!
- Marco (10/5): Reise in die Vergangenheit - Diese Übernachtung war wirklich etwas besonderes! Bei der Ankunft bekamen wir in dem „Cottage“, erst einmal eine komplette Führung mit historischen Hintergrund zu dem Haus. Die Räume waren wirklich beeindruckend und man fühlte sich in der Zeit zurück versetzt. Es gab verschiedene Frühstück Optionen aus denen man wählen konnte. Dann genoss man das Frühstück in einem stilvollen Raum. Wer also mal in einer etwas anderen Unterkunft übernachten möchte, ist hier genau richtig! Alles super. Das einzige was mir einfällt, es gab bedingt durch das Alter des Hauses, nicht sehr viele Steckdosen
- JR (10/5): - Great atmosphere, spacious room, friendly environment, personal care. Very comfortable.
- deborah (10/5): - Great place!
- Sue (10/5): It was relaxing and beautiful and the most wonderful place to stay. - The property and house was absolutely beautiful. It was so relaxing and quiet. The owner Kelly was very welcoming to everyone who stayed there. Breakfast was delicious. I would definitely recommend staying here. See statement above
- Sandra (10/5): - Host was excellent! Breakfast was awesome...(especially the baked french toast.) We had two rooms and they both were nice! One bathroom was across the hall from the room but that did not hinder our stay at all. We felt like we were in a very private home. We will definitely stay there again if we are ever in the Alma area.
- Rebecca Ann (10/5): - I liked the history of the property explained to us
- Jeffrey (8/5): - Unique story about the house.
- Gwendolyn (10/5): It was a wonderful stay at a beautiful older home that’s been very well taken care of by the hosts! - The hosts, house, and food were all excellent! Would highly recommend staying here. Bonus points for being able to pet the hosts’ dog and cats! Nothing. Everything was excellent
- Pat (10/5): - Wonderful host, very knowledgeable of history of the property! Very clean! Would definitely stay at this property again!!
- Audrey (10/5): Quiet and relaxing with excellent breakfast. - Historic mansion. Downtown location. Quiet and relaxing.

- Todd (10/5): T & V Adventure - It was absolutely amazing if you like old style things. The interior and exterior are so beautiful. All the history of it is explained by the owners. Kelly was a great host, friendly and knowledgeable. The breakfast is delicious! The rooms with the bathrooms are almost as big as our little house. Would definitely stay there again if we are doing anything in that area. Not a whole lot to do in the Alma area but the surrounding areas there are things to do, we found that out later. They have 2 cats there that are friendly and love attention. It was such a welcomed stay. My wife and I absolutely loved it!
- Karen (10/5): - Awesome place. Beautifully decorated. Breakfast was wonderful.
- Jeffery (9/5): Enjoyable! - Convenient location, historical value. Innkeeper was knowledgeable regarding the area. Breakfast options seemed a bit limited, however, delicious. Triple room slightly tight arrangement with beds, but functional.
- Samantha (10/5): - The cats were my favorite part! They aren’t allowed in bedrooms for those who are allergic. But it was really nice to hang out with the kitties especially Abby the black cat. Kelly was very informative about the house and very pleasant to speak to. Will be going back in May and will be excited to see my new friends!
- Holly (10/5): - We experienced nothing but the best. Host greeted us with kindness! He loves what he is doing and was helpful with dining. Breakfast was delicious! We enjoyed listening to the history of the B&B. Would stay there again and again!
- Bill (10/5): - This was my second time staying here. I was and still am very impressed with the property and management. They truly care and it shows. I will definitely be back again.
- Miguel (10/5): - It is very cozy and relaxing.
- Steve (10/5): Exceptional -

Our accommodations were clean, comfortable and nicely decorated with period furniture and Knick knacks. The host served breakfast in the main dining room was excellent, as was the coffee! 😊 We are glad we chose to stay at this lovely and interesting bed and breakfast!
- Melissa (10/5): - Beautiful B&B! Highly recommended!!
- Penny (10/5): Best BNB Ever Could not ask for more - Best B&B we've ever stayed at. Super comfy. Did not even hear neighbors ever and it was booked. You really could not ask for more.
- Valerie (10/5): Cute place - Kelly was absolutely the best host! Courteous, timely, and friendly. Cute place to stay while in central Michigan!
- Richard (10/5): - Beautiful historic house in a wonderful small town neighborhood.
- Austin (10/5): - First time at a bed and breakfast and it did not disappoint. Cheaper then a hotel and you get an experience of an old time house with a family feel. The breakfast was cooked by the owner and he did an excellent job and was super friendly.
- Paul (10/5): - Second time we went because we loved the place so much! The staff is great and the old world charm is amazing!
- James (10/5): Saravilla BIkers Paradise - Innkeeper was very knowledgeable of the home and area. Great base for rail trail cycling. Many trails within a 2.5 hr.drive. An excellent 40 mi. trail that you can access from the house. Can't think of anything.
- Mark (8/5): - Great place great location
- cameron (10/5): - Cute little bed and breakfast. We needed a halfway point between a road trip and saw it listed. Thought it be something cute and different. It was! Love supporting a local business over a big huge chain.
- Hall (9/5): Superb -
- William (10/5): Great stay - Very comfortable and welcoming stay at a grand old house with wonderful breakfast and fine host.
- William (10/5): Relaxing and enjoyable. - The host was so engaging, gracious and an excellent cook. The breakfast was amazing. Such beautiful architecture and the host's knowledge of the family who had it built as a summer cottage was incredible.
- Aaron (10/5): Wonderful experience - My daughter and I loved our stay at the Saravilla. Kelly made us feel right at home, and we really enjoyed learning about the mansion's history. Spending time there felt like a a trip in a time machine that we really enjoyed.
- Joyce (10/5): - We love staying here. Everything is just fabulous. Highly recommend you staying here 💚💚💚💚
- Carl (10/5): - A wonderful gem of a property
- Floyd (10/5): We will definitely be returning ..such a gem - The guided tour at check in of a beautiful historical home .. we loved our stay and the breakfast was phenomenal .. In room bathroom but is to be expected with the layout and age of the home for every room
- Michael (10/5): - This is such a beautiful well kept gem. I couldn’t have had a better Valentine’s Day!The house is magnificent with character and old history . I would recommended to anyone who is visiting this town or area . Such a great experience for our first bed and breakfast . Thank you !
- Eric (8/5): - A great place to stay and relax when you need an overnight stay. Feels like home but with an historical appeal.
- Sharon (10/5): Book a room now. Best B&B ever! - This is our 2nd visit to Saravilla, and it won't be our last! The home is beautiful and warm. I feel like I am 'at home' when I'm there. I also feel like I've been transported back to the 1800s - a simpler time. Kelley and Rochelle are awesome hosts and people and create the best breakfasts I've ever had at a B&B. The Billiards room lets you hone your pool skills, too. The spa tub in the Turret room is worth the trip alone! All of your creature comforts will be tended to, and you will not be disappointed! If you are looking for a great B&B, stop scrolling and book your room!😀 PS: Kelley promised to keep the Candy dishes filled!!! The fact that it didn't snow! But that's not their fault, LOL! I personally would love to sit by a fire in one of the many incredible fireplaces. However, I know much specialized work and money are required for a home such as this, and that's ok, there is so much more to enjoy here.
- Kelly (10/5): Enjoyable -
- Dan (10/5): Beautiful woodwork and unique furniture made us feel special and created a romantic atmosphere. - The hosts were very personable and provided excellent hospitality. Loved the morning breakfast and conversation with Kelly about Saravilla's family history. Felt like stepping back in time sharing the lifestyle of elites. It's a short walk to downtown where we enjoyed the shops and brewery. Wish we could have stayed a bit longer to hang out in library or billiard room.
- Carl (10/5): - A unique bed and breakfast run by a very nice innkeeper, who serves a wonderful breakfast.
- Dougg (10/5): Exceptional -
- Suzanne (10/5): - Gracious host, clean, loved all the old woodwork in the house! A fun stay!

- Prabhu (9/5): Superb -
- Sarah (10/5): Delightful perfection in every way! - Everything! Inside and out, the home is beyond stunning yet cosy and welcoming. The breakfast choices are phenomenal. The actual breakfast itself was perfection! Fresh fruit, coffee/tea, muffins…just amazing. Our room was gorgeous, the bed was more comfortable than our own! We enjoyed the information Kelly gave us about the home and it’s history as well as chatting in the morning. We booked a second trip before we left. Can’t think of a single thing! Honestly, the entire weekend was delightful and just what we needed. Don’t change a thing, please.
- Thomas (10/5): Wonderful stay!!! - Fabulous stay! Host was friendly and informative! Property is beautiful. So quiet and peaceful! Best night sleep in awhile on the road! Highly recommend and will be back!!
- Maryann (10/5): July 2023 homecoming visit - We appreciated Kelly’s tour of the mansion at check in. His passion for the property, history and what it still offers to the community is contagious. We had a fabulous 2 nights and felt very comfortable sharing this home. My mom, sister and I stayed here on a journey back in time to visit the town we were born and where our mom lived for 8 years. She was a single mom of 6 who had to move out of Michigan after our duplex burned to the ground. I had not been back since I was 4 years old (turned 50 in June). I couldn’t imagine a better homecoming, using Saravilla as our home base to explore the area. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Even gave us a tour and history of the place. He was very easy just to chat with us. The room was big and comfortable. If you want quiet then thus is the place. Was great meeting other guest and having breakfast with them in the morning. The breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend and has changed our minds about staying at standard hotel. Want to stay at more B&B's!!!
- Jacob (10/5): Exceptional -
- Teri (10/5): Beautiful home and room with plenty of other public rooms to relax. - Saravilla is amazingly beautiful. Even though the home was built in 1894 it has been lovingly restored and updated. The room was comfortable. Kelly the owner was very gregarious and informative. We enjoyed our breakfast chats every morning. He knew quite a bit about the original owner and was very knowledgeable about the houses history. Great accommodations for the price and will definitely be staying again the next time we are in town to visit family.
- Margaret (10/5): Charming hosts who wanted to be sure our stay was a great experience. - Breakfast in main dining, lovely presentation and delicious! Home baked muffins to start, fresh coffee and juice and great portion sizes. Can't think of anything that could have gone better.
