Boutique hotel in Edina operated by young adults on the autism spectrum
Mission-Driven Service
Erik's Retreat is operated by young adults on the autism spectrum, providing meaningful employment and direct guest services. Every stay supports the hotel's non-profit mission, with proceeds reinvested into autism programs. A donation box in each room allows guests to contribute directly to the cause.
Spacious Rooms and Thoughtful Amenities
Rooms are air-conditioned and include a desk, coffee machine, flat-screen TV, and private bathroom with shower. Select suites offer a kitchenette with fridge, dishwasher, and oven for extended stays. Complimentary wine and homemade treats, such as cookies baked by staff member Maggie, are provided in each room.
Quiet Location Near Minneapolis Attractions
The hotel sits in Edina, 5.2 km from Lake Harriet and 11 km from Mall of America. U.S. Bank Stadium is 14 km away, and Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport is 8 km from the property. The quiet setting and historic building character offer a peaceful base for exploring the Twin Cities.
Accessible and Family-Friendly Accommodations
The property provides facilities for disabled guests, family rooms, and a lift throughout the building. Self-check-in technology enables a contactless arrival, and the hotel is allergy-free with a designated smoking area. An on-site fitness centre and outdoor garden with picnic area are available for all guests.
Convenient Dining and Social Programs
Breakfast delivery service is offered Friday through Sunday for a convenient morning start. Guests can enjoy complimentary wine and treats in the lobby, and participate in voluntourism programs during their stay. Meeting and banquet facilities are on-site for small events.

“Erik's Retreat truly lives up to its name, offering an almost profound sense of quietude that felt like a rare gift. The rooms themselves are a definite highlight, spacious and meticulously maintained, creating an atmosphere that genuinely feels high-end. While navigating the contactless check-in presented a small initial hurdle, the seamless arrival and the comfortable lobby, complete with a thoughtful touch of complimentary snacks, set a welcoming tone.”
