Welcome to the world that is the victorian villa... Michigan's most celebrated Victorian Inn

The Victorian Villa Inn PhotoFrom the Romantic Overnight Lodging Accommodations to the Sumptuous 7-Course Champagne and Wine Dinners, occasionally hosted by the likes of General George Armstrong Custer, Mr. Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, and Mr. Sherlock Holmes, The Villa is an Inn of all Seasons and for all Reasons.  The Victorian Villa was, is, and will remain... ..........Truly the Past,....Unsurpassed !!

Called an "Oasis" by many of our returning guests, the Villa still offers Lodging romantic enough to cause "Victoria" Magazine to produce 4-Feature-Length Articles about the Victorian Villa during their publishing tenure, On-Premise Chef-Prepared 7-Course Champagne Dinners elegant enough to satisfy even the most descriminating restaurant critic, An inventory of Imported Single Malt Scotch Whisky's large enough to merit the attention of "The Malt Advocate" Magazine, and a Wine Celler so reknown that it was given "The Best of Award of Excellence " from Wine Spectator Magazine for several years in a row for its Restaurant Wine List.

The Victorian Villa is the perfect get-a-way for that Special Birthday or Heart Warming Anniversary Celebration. It is THE place to hold your Romantic and Memorable Old Fashioned Wedding,...  a Romantic Overnight Lodging Interlude,... a relaxing Mid-Week Retreat,... or a Spirited  Weekend Adventure.  And don't forget,...at Christmastime - The Villa glows with Old-Fashioned Victorian Christmas Weekend Celebrations complete with an authentic 9-Course Dickens' "Roast Goose & Spirits Dinner" right from the pages of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.  And in the Spring & Fall be sure to join us for our New "Mystery Series", where mystery and intrigue reign.  At the Victorian Villa Inn,  your stay can be as relaxing, mysterious, reflective, or as busy as you wish it to be. 


The Villa is situated in a quaint & charming 19th Century River Village,... on an acre of peacefully landscaped Victorian gardens and grounds where you can relax and sip the gentler side of life.  A place for you to enjoy an Afternoon Tea in our Gingerbread Gazebo, share a bottle of wine and stretch out on the jewel green lawn,   unwind by our goldfish pond and pass the day listening to our century old fountain play its familiar bubbling refrain.  Or, browse through our on-premise Antique Shoppe,...the, "19th Century Lighting Co." which features the largest inventory of Restored Antique Victorian Patterned Art-Glass Parlor & Chamber Lighting in the United States. And in the evening, enjoy a relaxing and elegant 7-Course Champagne Dinner for two in our on-premise gourmet Villa Restaurant "Victoria's".

And, if it's adventure and shopping that you have in mind,.... there's plenty of that too.  The Villa is located in the center of a whole array of pleasant activities and interesting places to see.  Within a 30 minute radius of The Villa, there are over 500 antique dealers, 12 golf courses, 10 lakes, 4 rivers, 100's of craft and retail shoppes, a sprawling 100 acre Outlet Mall, plus, the wonderful Binder Park Zoo with a Wild African Safari Veldt, and in driving distance - 3 Amish settlements, 8 Restored Victorian Museums, Kellogg's "Cereal City" Museum Attraction, and countless seasonal festivals and celebrations that are forever an integral mixture of our motherland Michigan,... and the list just goes on and on.
  

Located in south-central Michigan,... 25 miles north of the Indiana border,...Union City is on Michigan Route 60,...just 1 1/2 hours West of Detroit Metro Airport and 2 1/2 hours East of Chicago.  Make plans now to join us for your next get-a-way, retreat, adventure, or for your wedding day.  Let us know how we can be of service to you,...and how we can make your stay with us as sparkling and memorable as you wish it to be.  Feel free to e-mail us (click here) or contact us by our toll free number 1-800-34-VILLA  (1-800-348-4552) for your complete get-a-way full-color brochure packet.
