We rented for three nights before and after our daughter's wedding. 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!

Everything was wonderful - the home itself was very nice, clean, and small touches throughout. Appreciated the emphasis on bringing in local things such as the soaps, shampoos, lotions, etc. and even a bag of coffee from a local roaster. Communication was great, local was perfect, and would definitely stay again!

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!

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!
