A new model for outdoor hospitality.

Lucky Star Retreats is being created to expand who gets to access nature, rest, and meaningful outdoor experiences.

Our Story

Built from a belief that nature should be more accessible.

Lucky Star Retreats began with a simple belief: access to nature should not depend on ability, income, or whether a place was designed with you in mind.

The vision is to create outdoor retreat destinations where accessibility, privacy, comfort, and community can coexist.

This is not just about building places to stay. It is about changing what outdoor hospitality can feel like for more people.
