Wonderful Visit

The property is beautiful and well-maintained. The views are stunning. Becky was very responsive when we had a couple of questions. We really appreciated the initial supply of products (washer pods, dishwasher pods, paper towels, etc.)--especially that 2 reusable shopping bags were provided. A very nice touch.

Amazing stay!

We had a wonderful stay at the Galaxy Getaway! Becky is the most friendly and gracious host! The house is huge and has every amenity we needed! Our kids absolutely loved the mortal combat arcade game in the garage! It was a big hit! The house was very clean and well maintained! The location was perfect with amazing views! Overall this was by far the best VRBO we have rented! I highly recommend Galaxy Getaway!

Lovely stay with beautiful views

The house is beautiful, including the views, and everyone was comfortable, slept well and enjoyed their stay. We had plenty of room to both spend time together and retreat a bit too. The location was perfect for us and the host is especially thoughtful all around. It was a lovely stay.

Winter Fun

We had an amazing time at the Galaxy House. It was perfect for two families with small children. The view was astonishing and exactly what we wanted while staying in Durango city limits.

Great Location

This house is so beautiful and was right next to everything in town! Becky was very communicative and we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Some notes for parents - the house has books, games, and a little table for them to sit and play at (very cute!) but there are a lot of stairs and slick for kids with socks. The house DOES have baby gates as a part of the three levels of stairs so very thoughtful of the owners to make sure the kids are safe. Overall, we would stay again!

Delightful!

Beautiful, relaxing home near all Durango amenities. While we did not have children staying with us, the home is well-suited for families. Multiple living areas, as well as kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms were well appointed. Views from all rooms and deck were incredible. This one's a keeper!
