The Cargill Earl Guesthouse
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 Cargill Earl Guesthouse. This is necessary because of the bumpy and muddy roads. There is free parking on the property.
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. Featuring two bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other a queen, two private bathrooms, a living room with a full-size sofa bed, and a fully furnished kitchen, The Cargill Earl Guesthouse offers complete privacy in a place that will take your breath away.
Erik's Ranch/Dry Creek rates include lodging and an Erik’s Montana Adventures tour (Antelope Butte Hike). Other Erik’s Montana Adventures tours are available for an additional cost. These include trail rides, a horse meet and greet offered year-round, fly fishing, and whitewater rafting. Erik's is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and families.

King of the hill
The best views one could hope for. Absolutely isolated. King of the mountain. No other lights in sight at night time. Worth every penny. Thank you Eriks Ranch.

Great private location
Views and tranquility in abundance. The cabin could use a few finishing details (like drawer and cupboard pulls) and better ventilation when the sun hits the large fixed glass walls.
