Description from owner
Description
Erik’s Ranch is a nonprofit organization that offers upscale lodging run by young adults with autism. They are tour guides, sous chefs, ski instructors, horse groomers, and more. All for whom meaningful careers are scarce.
You are part of the solution.
When you stay with us, you’ll be in a beautiful house just 45 minutes from Yellowstone while providing living accommodations, social opportunities, and meaningful work for our members.
Welcome to Erik's Ranch. Where vision knows no bounds.
The space:
The Cargill-Earl Guesthouse at Erik's Ranch is privately situated on 230 acres of land, Off-The-Grid, with 360-degree, unobstructed panoramic views. Luxuriate in peace, solitude and privacy where the sunrise and sunset guide your days. We want our guests to feel they are living in the extraordinary Montana landscape, with the protection and comfort of living indoors, thus our glass houses with entire walls that open to the great outdoors.
Erik's Ranch/Dry Creek rates include lodging and two Erik’s Montana Adventures tours (Chimney Rock and Antelope Butte Hikes). Other Erik’s Montana Adventures tours are available for an additional cost: Trail rides, including a pony lead for younger riders and horse meet and greet offered year-round; Fly Fishing; Whitewater Rafting; Camel Meet and Greet; and a Sundown Grizzly Excursion. Erik's is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, families, and everyone in between. The Cargill-Earl Guesthouse offers 360-degree views of the mountains. Contemporary living—off the grid with no sacrifices. Two bedrooms, one with a King bed and the other a Queen, two private baths, a living area with a full size sofa bed and fully furnished kitchen, and an outdoor grill perfect for cookouts. Plush towels. Solar heat. Complete privacy in a place that will take your breath away.
Other things to note:
At Erik's Ranch, we cater to outdoor enthusiasts, skiers, hikers, stargazers and everyone in between with endless recreational activities available to you during your stay.
There are tours led by young adults with autism, nearby skiing at Bridger Bowl, Yellowstone National Park, hiking near Gallatin National Forest, world-class trophy fishing in the Yellowstone River, Chico Hot Springs, shoping and dining in old Western town Livingston, and scuba diving or ice climbing at Hyalite Canyon!

“It was the most Beautiful place I've ever been too. Staying on a mountain was excellent. The kids loved it as well.”
The place was beautiful. Beds were very comfy almost everything was perfect. The only down side was the road getting to the cabin. It needed to be grated very badly.

Response from the owner Dear Matt, Thank you for your feedback. Every review is extremely valuable to us, as we strive to improve with each and every stay. While I wish you had a better experience, it is also not typical for Paradise Valley to receive 31 inches of snow in four days; it was the biggest storm we have seen since 2014. As you know, we also send a compendium after every booking because we are in such a remote location. Below is the language we use regarding weather: • In the event of inclement weather, we are unable to provide a refund. In order to best prepare for unfavorable weather: • It is critical that guests staying between Nov.-April rent a vehicle with AWD • Stock up on additional groceries • Shovels are located at the front entrance to each property and staff will do their best to maintain entryways/driveways • Please note that same-day service cannot be guaranteed (i.e. snowplowing) • Dry goods and a flashlight with additional batteries are available to guests in the event of an emergency. Airbnb itself says no refund will be given if you cancel seven days before your trip or after check-in. Also, after reviewing our case, Airbnb Support corroborated our decision in regards to a refund because we can't be held responsible for weather. For the inconvenience it caused you, I am sorry. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any additional information to share. Warmly, Kathryn Founder & CEO
