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! Relax in this cozy cabin and enjoy the peaceful river sounds after a long day of fishing!
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!

Summary: 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.
