About Auster at Dome Mountain

Set alongside the Yellowstone River and in close proximity to the North gate of Yellowstone National Park, Auster at Dome Mountain will showcase the rugged natural beauty and authentic western hospitality of southwest Montana. Designed as both a gathering place for the local community and a destination for travelers, Auster blends modern comfort with a deep respect for the area’s landscapes and traditions.

The newest addition to AMB West, Auster will include 20 cabins designed for year-round stays, ranging from one- to three-bedroom layouts. The main lodge anchors the site and will serve as the hub for connection, dining, and relaxation, complemented by a casual restaurant and bar featuring a rooftop deck, a retail market, a pool, a drive-thru coffee stand, and inviting outdoor gathering spaces.

Additionally, guests will have access to Rising Sun Golf Course, an 18-hole Johnny Miller-designed championship-level course located at Mountain Sky Guest Ranch.

Just a 20-minute drive from Yellowstone National Park, Auster’s riverfront location sits on over 6,000 acres, offering a blend of unspoiled terrain and thoughtfully designed experiences, ensuring visitors can enjoy the outdoors while preserving its natural beauty. Guests will have access to a variety of activities across the property, including guided hiking, horseback riding, and wildlife as well as whitewater rafting and guided fishing trips through local business partnerships. AMB West properties are dedicated to protecting the natural environment and honoring local history through responsible stewardship, ensuring the land and its resources are preserved for future generations. The guest experience at Auster will be shaped by breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife, and rich ecosystems, while fostering a meaningful connection to the landscape and local community.

Big Creek and the mighty Yellowstone River offer fishing, rafting, and kayaking opportunities.
