The bathroom is on the main floor and is fully equipped with a tub/shower combo and fresh linens. As you enter the bedroom you'll find a full-sized bed, perfect for two. From there, you'll go up the log ladder to enter the loft where you'll find two twin-sized beds. This cabin comfortable sleeps 6 people making it perfect for a getaway with friends or family!

Originally a dude ranch, Karst Camp was established in 1901 by Pete Karst. It was the gateway to Yellowstone National Park for early tourists. The camp, known as Karst Stage Stop Inn, saw up to 600 tourists per summer with 25 guests cabins. In 1937, Pete built a towrope for skiers, which has since vanished, as well as a bar and brothel for local miners. Visitors can imagine the rugged conditions both residents and tourists must have had to endure to appreciate Yellowstone Country 100 years ago.
In the summer, you are just minutes from exceptional fly fishing, river rafting, golfing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, ziplining and more. Plus, the West entrance of Yellowstone National Park is only about 45 minutes away while following the historic HWY 191 along the scenic Gallatin River. Don't miss the free concerts, farmer's markets, and weekly special events throughout the summer!

Cute, cozy cabin. We enjoyed our stay.
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2025
Two Night Stay in JuneThe cabin is perfect for fly fishing and right on the Gallatin river. Closer to a busy highway, so keep an eye on kids and dogs. Great place to relax and enjoy meals together. Will return. Note: The Wi-Fi is very spotty and only worked a few times, even after re-setting. You can get good service by Big Sky. Bring extra forks and spoons. Only 1 fork and 2 small spoons in the kitchen. Had to run to the store to buy plastic silverware. Everything else in the kitchen was stocked.

Quaint cabin that was 20 feet from of the river. We came to do a little trout fishing, recharge and relax, sit outside in the evening without bugs and take in the food and people of Big Sky. Mission accomplished! True mountain vacation!
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2024
Overall it was a good place to stay! A few notes to point out. The ceiling fan looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in quite some time, maybe years, yikes! So we made sure to leave that off the time we stayed. The bed in the bedroom was not very comfortable so we stayed up in the loft area and enjoyed the coziness up there. The bathroom was clean, bed linens/sheets and towels were all clean, the kitchen area was clean as well as the appliances and the cookware. We did not use the grill as it was questionable on its cleanliness, and the wire brush to clean it wouldn’t have helped much. Coffee maker, (not a keurig) so make sure to bring coffee grounds!
We would stay again but maybe not so many nights (we stayed 3), it seems best for just an over night spot, because it is small. Bonus, it’s on the river with beautiful views.
