About this property
Academy Place | Larkspur
Located in the vibrant heart of downtown Crested Butte, Larkspur at Academy Place offers an unforgettable mountain retreat. Just steps from Elk Avenue, Clark’s Market, and the free town shuttle, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom townhome blends modern luxury with chic mountain design and stunning views—making it the perfect destination for your next getaway.
Step into the main level, where you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen featuring high-end appliances such as a Vitamix blender, Breville Barista Express, Cuisinart waffle maker, multi-cooker, and toaster. Whether you're preparing a quick breakfast or a gourmet meal, the kitchen is stocked with premium cookware, bakeware, and utensils to meet all your needs. The open-concept living area is the ideal space to unwind, with comfortable seating, mountain-inspired decor, and smart entertainment options for a cozy evening in.
The top-floor master suite offers a king-size bed, an ensuite bathroom with a steam shower, and a luxurious soaking tub—creating the perfect spa-like atmosphere after a day of exploring. The lower-level features two additional bedrooms: one with a king bed and another bunk room with a queen and twin bed, ideal for families or groups of friends. These rooms share a full bathroom for added convenience.
The highlight of Larkspur is the expansive rooftop patio. Take in unobstructed views of Mt. Crested Butte and Red Lady while soaking in the private hot tub, grilling on the large outdoor grill, or enjoying a drink with friends. The spacious patio is perfect for outdoor dining or stargazing on clear nights. You’ll also have access to a beautifully landscaped community courtyard, which blooms with vibrant flowers during the warmer months.
As with all Academy Place units, Larkspur is pet-friendly, so you can bring your furry friends along to join in the adventure. While the property doesn’t have air conditioning (a common feature for the area), the refreshing mountain air keeps the townhome naturally cool. Guests are asked to respect the quiet hours from 10 PM to 8 AM and to turn off exterior lights at night to maintain a peaceful environment for all.

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Larkspur. The location is ideally located within walking distance to all the restaurants/shops and the bus stop for skiing is very close.From an amenities standpoint, Larkspur has it all: from the kitchen to the bedrooms along with private hot tub; this place has it all. Our family would easily book at Academy Place again.
We have stayed multiple times. Always great, always perfect.

Reviewer Comments:
This was a lovely place for the gathering of our family who rented two units. It felt very fresh, clean and up to date in its vibe.The kitchens were well supplied for cooking with little extras provided like a bottle of counter spray to clean the counters, olive oil, salt and pepper, saran wrap, aluminum foil, and baggies. The location was super convenient with its location just a block from a great grocery store as well as one of the free shuttle stops. Also just a few blocks to the main drag with all the shops and restaurants. I would love to stay again.
