    Two of these stays are in Buffalo proper — Clear Creek Crossing on the creek downtown, and Hideaway Cabin a 5-minute drive from Main Street. The third, Piton, is not in Buffalo at all: it's about 30 minutes up Hazelton Road into the southern Bighorn Mountains, at 8,500 feet on five private acres bordering national forest. If you want walkable-to-downtown, book Clear Creek Crossing or Hideaway. If you want genuine mountain seclusion — no cell service, dark skies, a real drive to get there — Piton is up the mountain.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How many vacation rentals does Wyo Stays manage in Buffalo, Wyoming?+

    Wyo Stays currently lists 4 Buffalo properties on wyostays.com, all bookable direct.

    Is Piton actually located in Buffalo?+

    No. Piton sits about 30 minutes up Hazelton Road (Johnson County Road 3) from Buffalo, at 8,500 feet in the southern Bighorn Mountains between Buffalo and Ten Sleep. Clear Creek Crossing and Hideaway Cabin are the two properties actually in and near town.

    Which Buffalo stay is closest to downtown?+

    Clear Creek Crossing sits right on Clear Creek within the town itself, and Hideaway Cabin is a 5-minute drive from Main Street. Both are far closer to downtown than Piton.

    Are Buffalo vacation rentals pet-friendly?+

    Hideaway Cabin and Piton both welcome dogs as a standing policy. Clear Creek Crossing considers pets case-by-case with pre-approval, a pet fee, and a signed agreement, given its BLM-adjacent wildlife corridor.

    What's the largest group a Buffalo stay can sleep?+

    Clear Creek Crossing sleeps up to 14 with its separately-bookable bunkhouse. Piton sleeps 12, and Hideaway Cabin sleeps 8.

    When is Longmire Days and where should I stay for it?+

    Longmire Days 2027 is projected for mid-July (dates not yet officially confirmed — check longmiredays.com). Buffalo's hotel inventory is small and sells out fast; Wyo Stays manages all three properties on this page plus Sheridan overflow 35 minutes north.

    How far is Buffalo from the Bighorn National Forest?+

    The forest boundary starts roughly 12 miles west of downtown Buffalo. Piton borders it directly; Clear Creek Crossing and Hideaway Cabin are both a short drive from trailheads.

    Does Buffalo have cell service?+

    Downtown Buffalo has normal cell coverage, and so do Clear Creek Crossing and Hideaway Cabin. Piton is the exception — there is no cell service on the property, by nature of its elevation and distance from town. Starlink WiFi is available there instead.

    Can I book direct and save money on a Buffalo stay?+

    Yes — booking direct at wyostays.com means no platform booking fee, since there's no third-party platform involved. Wyo Stays is a licensed Wyoming real estate brokerage.
