Southern Bighorn Mountains
Ten Sleep, Wyoming Cabin Rentals
One cabin, genuinely between Buffalo and Ten Sleep — not in either town, but honest about the drive to both.
Wyo Stays does not have a property in the town of Ten Sleep. The closest is Piton, a secluded cabin about 35–40 minutes east of Ten Sleep in the southern Bighorn Mountains, roughly between Buffalo and Ten Sleep along the US-16 corridor. The rest of the Wyo Stays collection — a dozen-plus additional properties — is on the Buffalo and Sheridan side, east of the mountains.
Where Piton Actually Sits
Piton is not a Ten Sleep property in any meaningful sense, and we'd rather say that plainly than let a search result imply otherwise. It sits at 8,500 feet on five private acres bordering Bighorn National Forest, about 35 to 40 minutes from the town of Ten Sleep and about 30 minutes from Buffalo — genuinely in the middle, along the US-16 corridor through the southern Bighorns.
That makes it a real option for travelers heading either direction: a mountain stopover for someone road-tripping between Buffalo and Ten Sleep, or a basecamp for someone who wants Bighorn seclusion and doesn't mind the drive to either town's restaurants and services. It is not a walk-to-town stay for Ten Sleep the way a downtown Ten Sleep motel would be.
The rest of the Wyo Stays collection — cabins, downtown apartments, and larger group homes — sits on the Buffalo and Sheridan side of the Bighorns, roughly an hour or more from Ten Sleep. If your trip centers on Ten Sleep specifically, Piton is the nearest Wyo Stays option, not a downtown alternative.
Planning a Ten Sleep–Area Trip
Ten Sleep itself is a small town — population in the low hundreds — with a gas station, a few cafes and bars, two motels, and Ten Sleep Brewing Company about a mile west of town. There's no full grocery store in Ten Sleep; the nearest is in Worland, roughly 30 miles west. Plan your provisioning accordingly if you're staying at Piton, which is closer to Buffalo's fuller services than to Ten Sleep's smaller ones.
The main draw for most Ten Sleep visitors is Ten Sleep Canyon, one of the premier sport-climbing destinations in the country — see our dedicated Ten Sleep Canyon climbing lodging guide for what that trip actually looks like from Piton.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Wyo Stays have a cabin in the town of Ten Sleep?+
No. Wyo Stays' closest property to Ten Sleep is Piton, a secluded cabin about 35 to 40 minutes east of the town of Ten Sleep, in the southern Bighorn Mountains between Buffalo and Ten Sleep. It's not in Ten Sleep itself — it's the honest middle ground between the two towns. The rest of the Wyo Stays collection is on the Buffalo and Sheridan side, roughly an hour or more from Ten Sleep.
How far is Piton from Ten Sleep, Wyoming?+
Roughly 35 to 40 minutes, depending on road and seasonal conditions, along the US-16 corridor. That figure is for the town of Ten Sleep itself — the climbing areas in Ten Sleep Canyon are a further drive up the canyon from town; see our Ten Sleep Canyon climbing lodging page for what that adds.
Is Piton a good basecamp for visiting Ten Sleep Canyon?+
For travelers who want mountain seclusion and don't mind the drive, yes — Piton sleeps 12 on 5 private acres bordering national forest. It's genuinely between the two towns, not walking distance to either. Climbers specifically headed for the canyon crags should budget the full drive time from Piton, not just to the town of Ten Sleep.

Does Wyo Stays manage any properties in Worland or west of the Bighorns?+
