Watch us on Netflix!

In 2021, we were honored to have our ranch featured on the popular Netflix series The World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals. Our inclusion on the show’s second season was part of a special episode called “Giveback Getaways” about philanthropic travel destinations. Several of our members made an appearance on the show. This brought our mission to life by demonstrating how our model helps them lead fulfilling lives on their own terms. If you have a Netflix account, you can get a glimpse into both the beauty of our ranch and our mission by clicking here.

Being in nature brings out the best in human nature. Awake in paradise. Our paradise. In Paradise Valley, Montana.

It feels good to do something remarkable. You have a lot of options of places to stay for your Montana vacation. However, where can you get the ranch-style guest accommodations you want while making a difference in the lives of others? We offer a new kind of philanthropic giving just 45 minutes from Yellowstone National Park and 20 minutes from Livingston. Your overnight donation to stay with us benefits a great cause. You are helping build the foundation of our living/working guest ranch for young adults with autism. Additionally, they operate our ranch for discerning guests like you as concierge staff, tour guides, naturalists, horse grooms, and much more. They get to pursue their passions all because of you.

Erik’s Ranch is a perfect getaway for outdoor enthusiasts, families and everyone in between. Nestled among the snow-capped Absaroka mountains, open the front door and enjoy endless miles of hiking and trail rides with your friends and family. Take a day trip to Yellowstone National Park, swim at nearby Chico or Yellowstone Hot Springs, revel in the unique flora and fauna at Gallatin National Forest, or ski at Bridger Bowl. Rates include lodging, hiking tours and some of the most amazing views you will ever see. (Visit our Erik’s Montana Adventures tour page for a list of included tours.)
