Pahaska Tepee

What Pahaska Tepee does

Pahaska Tepee is a historic mountain resort and lodging operation located in Wapiti Valley approximately two miles from the East Entrance of Yellowstone National Park in Cody, Wyoming. The property was founded in 1904 by William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody and has been owned by the Coe family since 1946; the site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and operates under a special use permit from the Shoshone National Forest. It serves leisure travelers, families, outdoor recreationists, and group/event customers seeking proximity to Yellowstone.

The core product is cabin and lodge-based accommodation, comprising 47 rooms and cabins with capacity for 150+ guests, plus the Reunion Lodge event venue sleeping up to 36. Ancillary revenue is generated through on-site dining (the Lodgepole Room restaurant and Tepee Tavern), a gift shop, activity bookings, and event/venue rentals. Cabins are offered at peak rates of $285–$859/night, with the Reunion Lodge priced up to $1,925/night, and discount pricing (AAA, AARP, promotional) is applied across customer cohorts.

The business model is direct-to-consumer hospitality with a seasonal operating window. Full-service operations span roughly May through early October, while a subset of cabins is offered year-round to capture winter travel demand. Reservations are processed via an online booking platform (Centium/GuestPoint) as well as by phone and walk-in, and the company operates with 11–50 seasonal employees. No external funding events, corporate parent changes, or institutional ownership signals are present in the source data; the property is presented as a continuous family-owned operation.
