The story
A Bighorn Mountains cabin between Buffalo and Ten Sleep
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 Piton begins.
Set at roughly 8,500 feet in the southern Bighorn Mountains, the 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 fire in the wood stove and a sky full of stars.
Bring a group, bring the dogs, bring the gear. Spend the day on the trails, at a lake, or doing nothing more ambitious than coffee on the deck and a second round by the fire pit. Piton is built for the mountain version of time: slower, clearer, and a lot harder to leave.

Directions
Getting there (and why GPS won't help)
Piton sits off Hazelton Road (Johnson County Road 3) in the southern Bighorns. The final approach is a steep driveway — high-clearance is recommended even in good conditions — and you'll pass through a gated community entrance on the way in. Open it, drive through, and close it behind you.
Maps can be unreliable this far up the mountain. We send step-by-step written directions before arrival — follow those over GPS for the final stretch.
What you can do from here
A cabin for every season
Summer: ATV Trails From the Door
Ride straight off the property onto thousands of acres of Bighorn National Forest trail. No trailer, no drive to a staging area — the trailhead is the driveway. Alpine lakes for fishing are a short ride away, and the wrap-around deck is where the day ends.
Fall: Hunting Basecamp
Five private acres backing onto public land puts you inside elk, mule deer, and antelope country with a real kitchen, a wood stove, and enough beds for a full hunting party to come back to. Wyoming season dates and tag applications vary by hunt area — plan ahead.
Winter: Snowmobile-In
Piton becomes a true trailhead stay once snow stacks up. Winter parking sits roughly 1.5 miles from the cabin, with a tracked shuttle available by arrangement — bring or rent a sled, because this is not a plow-to-the-door property. The reward is untracked powder from the porch.
