About this property

Sophia's House

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 Sophia's House. This is necessary because of the bumpy and muddy roads. There is free parking on the property.

Consider this stunning, secluded, modern house your own private world during your stay. Enjoy the open living, dining and kitchen areas looking out to magnificent Montana views. Sink into the large bed after a long hike. Cook dinner on the grill and count the stars in a way you've never been able to before, unhindered by city lights or smog. We want our guests to feel like they are living in the extraordinary Montana landscape while staying in our newest glass house, with an entire wall that opens to the great outdoors.

Erik's Ranch/Dry Creek rates include lodging and one 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 pony lead for younger riders, a horse meet and greet offered year-round, fly fishing, and whitewater rafting. Erik's is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and families.
There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Make use of convenient amenities, which include concierge services and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Beautiful stay away from it all

This was a perfect place to stay to unwind and get away from it all. It was very relaxing. We enjoyed spending time on the back patio during the evening. We also enjoyed one early evening having a breeze blow thru the whole house bringing in the fresh Montana air. We did not have the opportunity to take part of the offered hikes or horse brushing activities but look to come back one day soon to do just that. The bed was wonderful and the view while lying in bed was top notch. We highly recommend staying here and will recommend it to others as well.

Beautiful views and decor! Our second time staying. Close to Livingston for a great dinner.

Beautiful Solitude

If you're looking for a quiet and beautiful mountain retreat where you will have little or no contact with other folks, this is the place. It's a little far to YNP, but so peaceful and gorgeous we were quite content to stick around and watch the everchanging sky, do a local hike and enjoy wildlife from right there when the weather was uncooperative and we chose not to drive. If you need to get away from it all and you're okay with out streaming screens, stay at Sophia's.

Best vrbo Ever!

Most stunning mountain views ever. Very private. Saw plenty of wildlife but never another human. Clean, neat and had all the amenities we required. And if that isn't enough, you are donating to a very worthy cause. Can't wait to stay here again!
