Jewel Box “Erik’s Guesthouse is a jewel box of a house in a wonderfully secluded and picturesque location.”

Mary, Santa Barbara, CA Erik's Ranch

Wonderful & meaningful stay “My family stayed here twice in 2015. We loved the mission and model of the facilities and felt the service was top-notch. We were comfortable, felt safe and enjoyed the unique set-up of the building. It is a great location in the Twin Cities and again, love the purpose behind the business model!”  

Tomika Erik's Retreat

A refreshing change to the typical hotel stay “This was our first visit and we were excited to stay somewhere more like home than a typical hotel. To be met at the carport and addressed by first names really kicked off the visit for us. Sam, our attendant, assisted us with luggage, escorted us through the check-in process and took us to our room…We’ll definitely be back to see Sam and have another great experience. Thanks to all those behind the scenes who made this stay memorable.”

Steve & Cindy Erik's Retreat

Excellent in every way “Everyone was the epitome of graciousness and knowing this place is a ministry to those with autism makes it a top pick for me if I return to Minneapolis. Thank you for a great experience.”

Susan V. Erik's Retreat

Outstanding Stay “The best part about our stay was meeting Sam, Tim and Maddy. They staffed our happy hour and brought us our delicious breakfast. We enjoyed talking with them and learning about their many interests. I’d recommend a stay here to anyone traveling to the area for business or pleasure.”

Awesome Tours! “Erik’s Retreat offers all kinds of additional activities you can pick and choose from, and the young adults on staff are the tour guides. Awesome!”

Maggie, Mankato, MN Erik's Retreat

Felt right from start to finish “The decor is incredible, atmospheric and inviting in the lobby, modern and classy in the room. Our concierge, Sam, was friendly, knowledgeable and capable. I cannot recommend highly enough the experience. Given the opportunity I will stay again!”

A Little Bit of Heaven “We were thrilled with every aspect of our stay. We look forward to staying at Erik’s Retreat every time we visit our family in Edina. The rooms are spacious, well-appointed and decorated. The linens are luxurious and breakfast brought to our rooms with fresh baked delicious breads was beyond expectations. The fact that it is a not for profit benefitting autistic adults, which we were not initially aware of, made our stay even better.”

Guest Erik's Retreat

Erik’s Ranch is exactly as pictured “The location is STUNNING! If you gravitate to “off the grid” stays, privacy, seclusion, and absolute pure views and natural beauty, then Erik’s Ranch will not disappoint…”

Contributing to a Great Cause “When I arrived at Erik’s Ranch I could not stop smiling from ear to ear. I kept saying to myself, “I get to stay HERE!?” Actually, it lasted for my entire stay. What a privilege to spend the week in this beautiful place while contributing to a great cause…”
