The bride, bridesmaids, moms & flower girls all got ready here the morning of the wedding and everything was perfect. I would definitely recommend Academy Place to anyone coming to Crested Butte. It's a bit pricey but well worth it!

Immaculate and exquisitely appointed.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our group of 20 travels every year, staying in vacation rentals — Academy Place far exceeded our expectations and raised the bar forever. Every detail is so well thought out and elevated. Location is perfect to walk to anything in town and hiking trails. But you will want to cook in this kitchen that has high end cookware and everything you’ll need. The housekeeping team must be the best in town, as all four of our homes were spotless. Bravo to the entire Academy Place team!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at Valerian. We had three adults, one in each very private room. The amenities were top notch and we had everything we could have possibly needed. Easy ten minute walk to everything you might want or need in town. We had a car but rarely used it. Would absolutely come back again!
