About this property

BEFORE BOOKING, please note, we have a strict check-in window of 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. This is to ensure your safety because the area has spotty cell service and to ensure that you will be navigating while it is still daylight. A 4WD vehicle is required to access The Stables. This is necessary because of the bumpy and muddy roads. There is free parking on the property.

The new Stable Bedrooms at Erik’s Ranch are a unique blend of upscale ranch meets rustic Hostel. If you are looking for a comfortable place to bunk between adventures, at a price point perfect for those who rise with the sun and settle in after dark, you are in luck. You will be sleeping just feet away from our horses. The new Stable Rooms feature comfortable beds and a unique western vibe that has a dash of boutique style mixed in. This is an experience like no other, as these rooms are part of beautiful stables nestled in snowcapped Absaroka Mountains. Come for the view, stay for the mission.

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. These include trail rides, a pony lead for younger riders, a horse meet and greet offered year-round, fly fishing, whitewater rafting, and a sunset grizzly excursion.

Quite the Getaway

I have to say, first of all, the staff at the stables was phenomenal. They were kind and easy to work with. The Bob Marshall Room was overall a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle, and conveniently nestled centrally to all the fun things this part of Montana has to offer. My only complaint: the mattress was HORRENDOUS. After the second night I had to find a chiropractor and masseuse to adjust. When I questioned reservations about how they could better accommodate me, they simply recommended I buy my own mattress topper (which I did). It’s my belief that a 4.5 million dollar ranch featured on a vacation show on Netflix can invest in the comfort of their guests. I hope whoever stays next is greeted with a new mattress or gets to enjoy the toppers I left behind. Again, I cannot speak lord highly of the stable/ranch staff. They exceeded expectations.

Love the mission of Erik’s Ranch. Comfortable, remote and rustic. Love the option to ride horses.

Enjoyed meeting staff. Love the vision and bedroom concept with facilities. Affordable. Unless we missed it in the directions, it would be helpful to know that it is approximately 8 miles on Highway 89 to the turn off to divide Street. Thx!

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Property Manager

Kathryn Nordberg is Founder and CEO of Erik’s Ranch & Retreats, Inc.

Kathryn Nordberg has held executive positions with organizations in technology, packaged goods and health care. She is recognized for innovative solutions to long-standing operational challenges and her ability to create positive outcomes for long-term projects with multimillion-dollar budgets. She has leadership experience in strategic and organizational planning, management, marketing, partnership development and alliances, sales, new product development and communications.

Nordberg also has an adult son with autism. She became the founding chairperson of Families for Early Autism Treatment in 1995 when no funding or early intervention programs were available in Minnesota. In 1997, she participated in bringing behavioral therapist Ivar Lovaas to Minnesota to share his Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for early intervention with children with autism. She also challenged the Minneapolis public school system status quo, creating awareness about the lack of efficacy of its program for children with autism, laying the groundwork for the assistance available for families desiring ABA.

With Nordberg’s experience as the foundation for Erik’s Retreat, we understand the need for individual choices and how to support that. Through professionally trained staff, careful planning and communication with residents, members, and families, and the employment of innovation in everything we do, we believe that living a life of promise is within everyone’s reach. “I believe that if I can imagine it, we can achieve it.”
