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.

Bookings for winter season reservations will open in February 2026.  For more information, visit www.auster.com and stay connected on Facebook and Instagram.

The Employee Experience

You will work hard, alongside fellow staff and the management team, as we tirelessly strive to provide our guests with the most incredible experience possible; you will play hard, getting to experience the endless recreational opportunities and natural wonders that Yellowstone country has to offer; and you will experience all of this with a group of adventurous, hard-working, personable and fun-loving people that will become lifelong friends.

Our associates are personable, adventurous, hard-working, honest, and are willing to pitch in when they see that a helping hand is needed.

For Fun

There are plenty of opportunities for adventure in the heart of Yellowstone Country. The Gallatin National Forest, Yellowstone National Park, the Absaroka-Beartooth Mountains, the Crazy Mountains, the Bridger Mountains, and the Gallatin Canyon area all provide excellent opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, rock climbing, and camping. Big Creek and the mighty Yellowstone River offer fishing, rafting, and kayaking opportunities. Livingston is a 45-minute drive and offers a quaint downtown with great restaurants and a vibrant artistic community. Bozeman is an hour drive and is home to Montana State University and the Museum of the Rockies, as well as a great variety of coffee shops, stores, restaurants, and bars. Local haunts like the Pine Creek Lodge, The Old Saloon in Emigrant, and Chico Hot Springs are always staff favorites, and feature live music and great food without the long drive.
