We live on three acres of mountain hilltop. The neighborhood is a mix of modest homes as well as some more luxurious mountain showpieces. Some lots are only used for recreational camping. Our place has ponderosa pine trees and lots of rock outcroppings. The views are not panoramic but quite serene and pleasant. We have plenty wildlife ( lots of deer and humming birds the occasional fox or marmot). Our primary activity is sitting around. We have a fire ring that we will share as well as lots of sitting options. Hiking or walking are also available when we're not sitting on our butts. It's peaceful and serene. Get it? Suggested Local Attractions:Our place is very close ( as the crow flies ) to Rocky Mountain National Park. Unfortunately the road to get ther will take you about an hour. We are about 90 minutes from Denver. 45 minutes from Fort Collins, CO. Laramie Wy. is less than an hour north. We are a days drive from Yellowstone. The Black Hills are also a day away. National Forest surrounds our area. Lots of public access and recreation.

Location
Access Road Conditions: Our location is three miles off a paved county road. The road in is a private gravel road maintained by our POA. The road has some tight curves but is well maintained. The incline and curves may not be comfortable to all, but 35 ft. class A's come up it regularly. The turn in at our driveway is tight but with a little finesse it is manageable. Weather can impact conditions greatly. Check with us before you arrive. Once you arrive there is ample room to turn around. Watch out for pedestrians (both two legged and four) Speed limit is 15 mph (less is better). Tow Vehicle Parking Details: plenty of room

retired but still rolling along Details: Susie and I are both active, adventurous and still loving the road trip life style. We became full time travelers in 2002. We both worked and played on the road until 2013 when we began building our mountain home in Colorado. Our home is still a work in progress but are comfortable and able to share our little piece of paradise with other Boondockers. Home Town: We raised our family right here in Colorado. I am a native of Fort Collins Colorado. Susie moved here in the seventies. Skills or Expertise to Share: We are (were) both certified tour directors and tour bus operators.. We have worked in many capacities in the tourist industry. We have worked for Princess Tours in Alaska, Norwegian Cruise excursions in Maui,HI. We have also traveled for a variety of companies doing promotional tours.

This was a great place to hang out for a few days. Lucky & Susie were perfect hosts! Miss Susie informed us of a potential storm coming through the area and offered the use of the site until it passed. It snowed a bit but we were easily able to get back on the road to the next destination. Thank you so much for your hospitality, the deck of Colorado playing cards & the amazing homemade jelly! We would definitely stay again when we get back this way!!

Lucky and Susie are delightful and generous hosts, not to mention excellent storytellers. They gave us homeade chokecherry jam, advice on hiking trails, and a sweet spot to call home while exploring the area. Highly recommended!

We spent two nights at Lucky's and Susie's Retreat. It was great to get away from the 100-degree heat with no need for A/C. We had no issues parking our 26’ travel trailer. The location is very relaxing and peaceful with an abundance of wildlife, wildflowers and sunrises. Lucky and Susie were amazing hosts, and the chokecherry jelly was delicious. We hope to return soon.

Lucky was so kind to us. He offered us water, power, choke cherry jelly, and a beautiful roaming place to stretch our legs. I was truly thankful to be deep seated on land rich in minerals and life of every kind. It felt like a sacred area. If you decide to come, take a moment to truly appreciate where you are. Thank you so much Susie and Lucky!
