An lift provides access to each floor from the private entrances from either the front of the building or the covered garage. The entry floor consists of only the two private entrances and the lift, with steps immediately leading to the second floor. The second floor contains a large king bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, and the washing machine/dryer. The top floor is the main living space, as stated above.

Great property, awesome view. Siena with the property management company was extremely responsive and made the stay even more pleasurable. Glacier Lily was our favorite property at Academy Place, and we’ve stayed at three of them now.

The photos of this penthouse unit do not do it justice. The unit is new and has high end finishes throughout. Our family loved the chef’s kitchen and dining area . The living room with accordion glass doors open to a lovely deck creating a large indoor/outdoor space with an amazing view of the mountains. The bathrooms were modern and spacious. This unit is perfectly located in the center of town and just several blocks from Elk Avenue. I highly recommend Glacier Lily and look forward to staying here again!
