Welcome to `Vitalia` Perfect for families and smaller groups, Vitalia offers the ideal downtown stay close to everything Traverse City has to offer — wineries, breweries, restaurants, shops, trails, and parks are all within easy walking distance! Guests enjoy full access to the shared courtyard and private gym amenities. This bright, open-concept loft comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests.

We are Pet-friendly! Pet fee is $125.00 per stay. A maximum of 2 dogs 50 lbs each are allowed. Please let us know if you are bringing a fur friend so that we may get your pet amenities prepared for your arrival. We try our best to keep hair and allergens away, but guests with dog sensitivities should be aware. Please use our provided sofa cover and `retired` towels for your fur friends. Booking guests will be responsible for any pet damage.

Vitalia is located within the courtyard area of “The Box”, a distinctive mixed-use building on the corner of Boardman and Eighth Streets. The Box includes co-working office space on the top floor (not available to guests) and a wellness center on the lower level.

The Box originally home to the Traverse City Cigar Box Company, built in 1920, the building has been carefully renovated over the years, maintaining its historic charm and character while offering all the modern comforts of today!

This stand-alone condo, `Vitalia` sits in the shared courtyard, giving you a peaceful, private retreat with full access to the gym and courtyard amenities.

Please keep in mind there is a flight of 18 interior steps up to the condo, once in the condo all rooms are on the same level.

Please note: the building across the street is undergoing renovations, so you may see construction vehicles during your stay.
Quiet hours are observed after 10 PM — we kindly ask guests to respect our neighbors. No unauthorized parties are allowed.

The condo was very clean, cozy, and everything was easy to find. There was a basket of pet amenities, bowls, and a baby gate to keep them away from the stairs and door. The location was great--short walk to downtown through a cute neighborhood. We had a wonderfully relaxing stay. I have already recommended to a friend!
