Academy Place | Valerian

Experience the epitome of luxury and mountain elegance at Valerian at Academy Place, a stunning 3-bedroom cottage nestled in the heart of Crested Butte. This beautifully appointed home combines sophisticated design, high-end amenities, and breathtaking views, creating a memorable retreat in one of Colorado’s most sought-after mountain destinations.

The cottage boasts three spacious, serene bedrooms: one king-sized bed and two queen beds, each designed as a tranquil haven for restful sleep after a day of adventure. All three bedrooms have ensuite full bathrooms, with the king-sized room also sporting a spacious bathtub and a steam shower for ultimate relaxation. Valerian can be perfect for any configuration of guests, but we especially recommend it for groups with multiple couples, as each bedroom comfortably fits two. With the three private bathrooms and the half bath off of the living room, all with high-end fixtures, Valerian ensures privacy and comfort for all guests.

The chef-inspired kitchen is perfect for any needs, whether that entails whipping up a quick snack, or cooking a large dinner for the whole family. Equipped with full sized appliances, the cottage is ready to accommodate your cooking desires. The kitchen and dining areas are spacious, with a large dining table in addition to bar seating at the counter.

The living area is inviting and cozy, with a fireplace that sets the mood for evenings of relaxation and conversation. Enjoy the warmth of in-floor heating throughout the cottage, ensuring comfort no matter the weather outside.

Valerian has a private patio, with outside seating and an outdoor grill for enjoying the mountain air. Located just steps away from Crested Butte’s vibrant dining, shopping, and entertainment, Valerian offers unparalleled access to the best of the town. Step outside and enjoy the charm of the area or head to nearby mountain trails and slopes for endless outdoor adventures, including skiing, hiking, and biking. For those who want to explore the mountain as well, the local free bus offers frequent trips to Mt. Crested Butte from just down the street.

More than just a place to stay, this home is a gateway to the luxurious mountain lifestyle, offering a perfect balance of comfort, style, and convenience. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat to relax or an active getaway full of adventure, Valerian at Academy Place provides everything you need for an extraordinary vacation experience.

Communication was great, local was perfect, and would definitely stay again!

Perfect Spot Right in Town

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: 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!

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!
