Summary: 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 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!
