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.

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.
