Picture this: you arrive in Montana, where the horizon stretches farther than the eye can see and the air feels crisper, cleaner, wilder. Just 40 minutes from Missoula, tucked into a 37,000-acre working cattle ranch, is Paws Up Montana—a place where the rugged spirit of the West collides beautifully with five-star luxury.
From the moment you arrive, it feels like the best of both worlds. You’re not choosing between a rustic escape or a luxury retreat—you’re getting both.
Stays as Unique as the Landscape
Accommodations here don’t just give you a place to sleep; they set the stage for your entire stay. Families and groups can spread out in timber homes with wood-burning fireplaces, hot tubs, and endless views of Montana’s rolling hills. Couples looking for something truly different might choose a safari-style tent along the Blackfoot River, where campfires and starry skies meet ensuite baths, stylish furnishings, and the care of a private chef and butler.
And for adults wanting a quiet, design-forward escape, the Green O feels like something out of a dream—twelve one-of-a-kind “hauses” hidden in the forest, each with its own architectural flair and access to Social Haus, where a seven-course tasting menu changes with the seasons.
Where Luxury Really Means Effortless
At Paws Up, luxury isn’t about formality—it’s about how easy everything feels. From the airport, you’re whisked straight to the ranch. Meals, snacks, and even premium drinks are included, so there’s never a question of what’s covered. Gratuities are taken care of, a private Lexus is waiting at your home, and your personal concierge is there to plan the details you didn’t even know you wanted—like a surprise cake for a birthday, or a last-minute dog sledding adventure when the snow starts to fall.
Adventure, No Matter the Season
Out here, the wilderness is the playground. In summer, it might mean horseback riding through golden fields, casting a line in the legendary Blackfoot River, or revving up an ATV for an off-road thrill. When winter rolls in, the ranch transforms with snowmobiling, dog sledding, and ice skating under wide-open skies.
And for families, there’s something extra special about knowing the kids can dive into their own adventures at the children’s program or kid’s club—giving parents a chance to sneak away for a spa treatment or a glass of wine by the fire.
A Taste of Montana
Dining here is another adventure in itself. One day, you’re savoring a hearty ranch-style breakfast. The next, you’re sitting down to a meal prepared by a James Beard–nominated chef. At Social Haus, couples can indulge in a multi-course tasting menu that feels both refined and intimate, while food lovers will be tempted to time their visit around the resort’s Montana Master Chefs event, where acclaimed chefs and winemakers gather under the stars to create something unforgettable.
More Than a Vacation
What makes Paws Up truly magical is the way it balances opposites: wild yet refined, adventurous yet indulgent, intimate yet expansive. It’s a place where kids can chase fireflies while parents sip wine, where one morning you’re riding horseback through the fields and the next you’re unwinding in your private hot tub.
Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a romantic retreat, or even a multigenerational celebration, Paws Up Montana isn’t just a trip—it’s an experience you’ll be talking about long after you’ve returned home.
