About this property

Scenic 5BR Retreat w/Epic Views • 5 Min to Downtown Durango

Wake up to panoramic views of the Animas Valley and surrounding mountain peaks from nearly every room at the Galaxy Getaway — a spacious retreat designed for gathering, relaxing, and making memories together.

Whether you're planning a family vacation, ski trip, hiking adventure, or getaway with friends, this 5-bedroom home offers plenty of space to spread out while still feeling connected. Sip your morning coffee on the deck as the sun rises over the valley, spend the day exploring Durango, then come back to cozy evenings by the fire pit or fireplace.
Just 5 minutes from downtown Durango, you’ll enjoy the perfect balance of peaceful mountain scenery and easy access to restaurants, shops, trails, skiing, rafting, fishing, and more.

Why guests love the Galaxy Getaway:
• Stunning mountain & Animas Valley views throughout the home
• Multiple outdoor decks and seating areas for gathering and relaxing
• Spacious open-concept living area with large windows and natural light
• Fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops
• Comfortable setup for large families and groups
• TVs with Roku in every bedroom and living space

• Family-friendly extras including children’s toys, books, high chair, Pack ’n Play, and play area
• EV charger available for guest use
• Easy access to hiking, biking, skiing, rafting, golfing, Mesa Verde, and all the best of Southwest Colorado

The Space
The home is thoughtfully laid out across multiple levels, making it easy for groups to gather together while still having room to unwind privately. Large windows bring in natural light and showcase the surrounding mountain views, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere throughout the home.
The kitchen is stocked with cooking essentials for group meals, and the dining and outdoor seating areas make it easy to enjoy meals together after a day of adventure.

Outdoor Areas
Enjoy multiple decks, balconies, and outdoor seating spaces overlooking the valley and surrounding mountains. The backyard area is steep mountain terrain and is not accessible for guest use, but there is still plenty of outdoor space to enjoy the scenery safely.

Guest Access
Guests have access to the entire home during their stay, excluding the owner storage area.

Other Things to Note
For guest safety and property security, there are three exterior motion-activated security cameras on the property:
Garage storage area entry
Front entry/driveway area
Trash and recycling area
These cameras are exterior only and do not monitor any interior living spaces.
Mountain roads and driveways are part of the Colorado experience, and winter conditions may require AWD/4WD during snow events.
