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.
