Great Vacation

We had a great stay at Galaxyland. The amenities were as described in the listing. The house is new, clean, and sunny with good ventilation. The location is quiet with beautiful views. It is about a 5 minute drive to the center of Durango, and there is easy access to routes in all directions. Melissa is a good host. She responded quickly to our questions and was very helpful.

Perfect getaway

Everything about Galaxyland was 5 stars, stylish, very clean, cozy and convienient. It's up a little private street away from noise and people and close enough to a nearby delicious bakery and pizza/rib joint so we walked to grab breakfast and dinners a few nights. We felt like locals living there. And, it's a 5 minute drive to the center of town where we loved exploring. Melissa really thought of the little things to make our stay special. The house is adorable and stocked with everything you would ever need. I loved looking out the windows at the views and walking around the neighborhood. We saw deer several times. I really appreciated the thoughtful touches. Melissa gave us great recommendations in her guidebook and she and was very informative about activities. We wish we could have stayed longer and can't wait to go back.

Pictures don't do it justice!

Seriously, the online pictures do not do this guest house justice. It is surrounded by trees and very private. We sat outside every morning with our coffee and every evening with a glass of wine. The views are fantastic and occasionally we would have a family of deer walk right by us. Yes, there's a coffee shop and pizza place close enough to walk to. But the location to the Animas River Trail and downtown area is very close as well. We rode our bikes to both. We stayed in the middle of August in case anyone is wondering what it is like during the warm months. We slept with the windows open and it was heaven. The temperature didn't warm up until late morning and by then we were off to wherever our 'adventure of the day' took us. The temperature dropped again in the evening in time for our return. The guest house has everything you need and a kitchen large enough and comfortable enough to make every meal. We love this place and are already planning our return trip next year!

Really complete unit in a great location

This is a one-level unit with parking right outside the front door, making it easy to move things in and out. Even though Durango has had a very warm summer, opening the windows after sunset was perfect as the cross breeze is amazing, and things cooled down very nicely. Host had a few snacks and some coffee and tea. One of my favorite things was the outside table and chairs in the rock garden area. The host has thought of almost everything, down to the accent pillows on the outside chairs...a nice touch that makes you feel welcome. There were very nice and plush towels, and good, sharp knives. We would stay here again.

Lovely, clean, quiet

Please read the rules for this house. The house was exactly as pictured, both inside and out. The furnishings are nice. The bathroom is bright and I really liked the medicine cabinet; it was new and glass and very practical. The kitchen had everything you could want. The bed was extremely comfortable. I do prefer a firmer mattress, and it was perfect! Aesthetically, the property was very pleasing. It was quiet and calm. My stay was wonderful. I came to Durango to visit my son and his partner. This location was very easy to navigate to and from everywhere in the city.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Glick

Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, I straddle the fence between loving fast-paced cosmopolitanism city life and enjoying nature and feeling less anonymous in a small mountain town. So, I live in Durango full time and travel as much as I can. I love art, music, theater and fresh clean mountain air.

Why they chose this property

This was built in 2018 as a guest house, so it has all the amenities that a traveler would want for a long or short stay. Located on a private drive about 2 miles from downtown Durango, the neighborhood is quiet and private. The street is hilly and a stroll around the block will get your heart pumping. It’s a quick 5 minute drive to the heart of downtown Durango but there’s plenty to do within a short walk from the front door. A pizza, burger & bbq joint at the end of the street - a yoga studio, delicious bakery and popular sushi restaurant are about a 5 minute walk. See my list of recommendations for more info. Dozens of trailheads to amazing hikes are within a 5-10 minute drive. Durango is very bike friendly and there’s a trolley stop at the end of the street. This property is awesome!

What makes this property unique

Single story, no stairs. Newer construction. This is a house entirely for YOU to relax in and enjoy an adventure in Durango, Colorado.
