Welcome to Dark Sky Retreat – Where Big Adventures and Bigger Skies Await!
Calling all adventurers, stargazers, road trippers, and wide-open space lovers — Dark Sky Retreat is your ultimate basecamp! Set on over 5 sprawling acres in Clark, Wyoming, this unique getaway features two stylish cabins- offering room for the whole crew to roam, relax, and reconnect with nature. Dog friendly for your 4-legged companions!
By day, soak in jaw-dropping views of the Absaroka and Beartooth Mountains. By night, the sky puts on a show — with zero light pollution, you’ll have front-row seats to a galaxy of stars and shimmering bands of the Milky Way. Telescope included!
Bring your gear — there's plenty of room to explore! Cruise down to the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River for fishing, rafting, or kayaking. Or take a scenic drive just 33 miles to Cody, home of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, Cody Nite Rodeo and vibrant western history. Head the other direction and you’ll hit Red Lodge, Montana (37 miles away)- a hotspot for great dining, boutique shopping, and more outdoor adventure. If road-tripping is your love language, Dark Sky Retreat sits right on the legendary Yellowstone Loop, connecting you to the Northeast Entrance via the jaw-dropping Beartooth Highway, and the East Entrance through Cody and the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway — one of the most beautiful drives in America.
When it’s time to chill, you'll have two mountain-modern cabins with western charm to call home:
The Big Bear Cabin features a full kitchen, one king bedroom, one queen bedroom, a cozy queen loft (with over 5 feet of headroom!), and a bathroom with an oversized soaking tub/shower combo, A/C for those warm summer days.
The Little Bear Cabin includes a double bed on the main level, a queen loft, a well-equipped kitchenette, and a tub/shower combo — perfect for a smaller group or a private retreat.
Both cabins come fully loaded with heat, smart TVs, Wi-Fi, and fans or space heaters to keep you comfy in any season. Between the cabins, a Conex unit holds a washer/dryer. Out front, enjoy a communal hangout area with a fire pit and gas grill — ideal for starlit storytelling or winding down after a day of exploring.
With room to sleep up to 10 guests, Dark Sky Retreat is perfect for families, friend groups, or adventurers looking to unplug without missing modern comforts. Dog beds in each cabin will make sure your dogs have a comfy place to sleep too!
Whether you're casting a fly, hitting the scenic byways, or simply soaking up the stars, Dark Sky Retreat is your launchpad for high-altitude fun and unforgettable Western memories.

Dark Sky
We loved the cabins at Dark Sky, it was just the right size for us and the location was perfect as Cody and Powell were not that far away. It was quiet and peaceful. Loved the idea of having a shared laundry room in the conex. We enjoyed staying here and would recommend it.

Excellent Stay
This rental was ideal for our family! We enjoyed the view of the mountains every morning and the gorgeous sunsets in the evenings. The hosts were very helpful and excellent communicators. We enjoyed having 2 different cabins available to us, and both are in great condition. Thank you for an incredible stay!

Amazing Property!
We seemed to be one of the first guests at this vacation rental home. Everything is brand new and fresh. Everything was convenient, worked well, and comfortable. The cabins were VERY clean. My younger son stayed in the smaller cabin. It does not have AC but he opened the windows in the evening and ran a fan and it cooled down...he did close them when he went to bed because he thought there could be bears in the area. The area is beautiful. The views are spectacular. The owners have planted flowers around the big cabin and they are so cute and beautiful. The laundry in the conex is so cool! We used it and it was modern, bright, clean and so helpful! And the detergent was provided! SO helpful! The decor is cute, modern, but cabin-esque and clean. I loved the style! Clearly, the owners put a lot of thought into the building and decor. I love the corrugated steel ceilings and the tile work. Just so cute and attention to detail! A couple things I suggest: - More fans for the small cabin and the loft in the big cabin. It was just too hot up there even with the small fan. - Some things are normally provided at vacation rentals that weren't there. More paper towels, cookie sheets, foil, paper plates, plastic flatware...I added all of these things and left them at the cabin for the next guests. I think it was just because it's such a new place. - The fire pit area could use some rearranging and weeding so more people can sit around comfortably and see each other around the little tree. NONE of these things detracted, just a few things I noticed. We LOVED our stay. We hope to come back someday. Thank you for providing your beautiful, little piece of heaven!
