Piton — Secluded Bighorn Cabin, Buffalo WY

There is a moment on the drive up when the cell signal drops, the pines close in, and your shoulders finally come down from your ears. That is where The Piton begins.
Set at roughly 8,500 feet in the southern Bighorn Mountains, this newly finished Wyoming cabin sits on five private acres ringed by national forest, almost exactly between Buffalo and Ten Sleep. The wrap-around deck looks straight out at some of the best peaks in the range. Mornings start with coffee and mule deer in the meadow; evenings end with a glass of something good, a fire crackling in the wood stove, and a sky so full of stars it feels invented.
Inside, you get the comfort of a modern home with the soul of a mountain cabin: a full kitchen for big family meals, a queen bedroom, a bunk room the kids will fight over, and a roomy loft with three queen beds, a couch, and a TV. Wash off the trail dust in the full bath, run the washer and dryer between adventures, and gather everyone around one of three fire pits when the sun drops behind the ridgeline.
“One of the most peaceful and pleasant places we have ever stayed.” — Joshua, past guest
“Beautiful cabin tucked away in the Big Horns with an awesome view. Has anything you could need for sleeping and cooking.” — Cory, Casper, WY
This is high country, so come prepared and come curious. There's no cell service up here, though the cabin has Starlink WiFi — and most guests tell us afterward that the quiet was the best amenity of all. You will rediscover card games, rocking chairs, long dinners, and the kind of sleep that only comes at altitude. Bring the ATVs and you can ride straight from the property onto thousands of acres of trails. Bring rods and you are minutes from alpine lakes. Bring the snowmobiles in winter and the cabin becomes your launch pad into untracked powder.
The Piton is managed by Wyo Stays, a Wyoming-based hospitality team that treats every cabin like a guest house we are proud to hand you the keys to. We clean and inspect before every single stay, we answer fast, and we are happy to arrange the extras that turn a good trip into a story you retell for years. Message us before you book — tell us what you are dreaming up, and we will help you build it.
