My family and I had a wonderful Christmas week at Academy Place - Bluebell. The house was comfortable, well appointed and beautiful. Both the 6th and Bluebell and the four way bus stops are very close so getting to the ski mountain was easy. I would rent again in a heartbeat.thank you!

This was one of the best homes we've ever stayed in. Everything was there that we needed from the coffee makers to the high end linens to the thoughtful board games. The furnishings are beautiful and the home is so comfortable. It is a short walk, just a couple of blocks, to shopping, restaurants and parks. We are so glad we stayed and can't wait to come back. Thank you for an amazing family vacation!

We’ve stayed at academy place before for one week. This trip we stayed for 3 weeks. The property is great and perfect location. The only downside is the cleaning crew. They do not provide weekly cleaning and we found items from previous renters under bed. I would give 5 stars if they had a more qualified cleaning crew!

This was one of the best rentals that we have ever experienced. The home was extremely clean and felt like a high end luxury resort. Every detail was taken care of. The kitchen was well stocked with high end William Sonoma items. The towels and bedding were top notch. The location was the best, just a block off the main dining and shopping areas. Holly, our contact person was the best and answered all our questions immediately. By fare the best ever.

This is a special place. The property is beautifully designed with exquisite finishes. It’s in a perfect location, with an easy walk to shops and restaurants on Elk avenue, parks and green spaces, Clark’s grocery, the pharmacy, etc. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking our favorite dishes. We loved our visit to Crested Butte, with highlights including rafting, hiking, and horseback riding. We will definitely return and look forward to staying again at Academy Place.

This well-appointed, well-designed new condo has everything you need and more. It’s convenient to downtown, groceries, bus stops, and even the Nordic center where we skied. We didn’t have or need a car. It’s very comfortable and has lots of amenities for relaxing and pampering yourselves apres ski or on off days, including your own hot tub and steam shower. The kitchen is amazing. You may never want to leave! We’re going back.
