Redefining the Luxury Ranch Experience

There’s something to be said about Big Sky Country in Montana. The rugged countryside, crisp, clean morning air, the brilliant night sky, and harmony with nature. Paws Up Montana is a 40-minute scenic drive from Missoula Montana Airport and offers guests an unforgettable luxury ranch experience under the Big Skies, and without the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Paws Up is a one-of-a-kind resort situated on a 37,000-acre working cattle ranch in Greenough, Montana, and was voted the #8 Resort in the World in the 2025 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards. It undoubtedly deserves this award as the Two MICHELIN Key resort offers guests a five-star luxury experience at one of the nation’s most immersive nature destinations.

The pace is casual at Paws Up as the American West reveals itself in its purest form —  expansive, untamed, and spectacularly beautiful. It is a place where hospitality is just as accommodating as the wide-open landscapes, allowing guests to slow down and slip into an undisturbed Western way of living, even if only for a few days.

Paws Up offers 76 one-of-a-kind accommodations ranging from family-friendly to adults-only retreats. For those seeking the latter, Green O provides 12 high-design hauses, or luxury tree houses, set quietly among tall pine trees. This 21+ adult escape blends modern amenities with nature, featuring indoor and outdoor living spaces with magnificent, wooded views.

At Green O, guests enjoy secluded, sleek accommodations with floor-to-ceiling windows, ultramodern eco-kitchens, private hot tubs, and a complimentary Lexus SUV for exploring the property. Additionally, the experience is elevated by exclusive access to the award-winning Social Haus restaurant, renowned for its exceptional eight-course meals.

For families, there are 28 private luxury homes, each offering spacious accommodation with a refined blend of rustic elegance and Montana’s natural beauty. These homes are ideal for gathering with friends and family or an intimate retreat for two. Whether you choose a historic residence or a riverside lodge, unwind in style with complete privacy with Montana’s breathtaking wilderness just outside your door.

Dreaming of sleeping beneath the stars? Glamping at Paws Up delivers an uber luxury experience. The resort’s climate-controlled safari-style tents are available from mid-May to mid-October, offering a deluxe take on outdoor living. Each of the six separate camps — set along the Blackfoot River or perched on scenic bluffs — features tents outfitted with Western-chic décor, king-size feather beds, ensuite bathrooms with rain showers and heated floors, and private decks. Every camp also includes its own Dining Pavilion, a dedicated chef, and the personalized service of a camp butler. Roughing it at its best, no outhouses here!

Paws Up Resort offers a wide range of activities for the entire family. Whether guests are looking for a tranquil spa experience or an outdoor adventure, the options are endless from sunrise to sunset. Paws Up has guided activities for every season and every skill level, including horseback riding, fly fishing, ATV tours, hot-air ballooning, cattle drives, snowshoeing, and more. Spa Town is a full-service wellness sanctuary located in a cluster of luxury safari-style spa tents. Services include massages, facials, and body treatments, all with views of the stunning Montana scenery. And for the kids, there’s the Kids Adventure Club for ages 3-12. When the parents head off to an adult-only wilderness activity, the kids can have an adventurous time of their own.

The gourmet dining experience at Paws Up is nothing short of exceptional. Guests are treated to a gastronomic experience of the highest caliber, including wine pairings and craft cocktails, where every meal is a refined tribute to Montana’s bounty. Seasonal, locally sourced ingredients are transformed into elegant farm-to-table dishes by a team that includes James Beard–nominated chefs. Starters like Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese Tartlets, followed by entree choices of Succotash, Scallops, or Beef Skirt Steak, and the grand finale: Cookie Butter Tiramisu. An absolute foodie’s paradise.

Guests can dine indoors or al fresco, enjoying the views at one of the resort’s restaurants — Pomp, Tank, Trough, a full-service bar next to Tank, Shed, and Chuck Wagon — and Social Haus, reserved for Green O guests only. The Dining Pavilion at each luxury camp will not disappoint, where the onsite dedicated chef prepares artfully plated, hearty breakfasts and gourmet dinners exclusively for camp guests. Every meal is a curated experience, with thoughtful attention to any dietary preferences noted, no matter where guests decide to dine.

No stay is complete without a visit to the Wilderness Outpost, where guests can browse premium apparel and boots, exquisite jewelry, and curated accessories — and even design a custom, bling-adorned cowboy hat all your own. The expertly selected range of goods reflects Montana’s rugged and beautiful landscape, and the signature Paws Up Collection offers premium clothing and proudly displays the resort’s iconic bear paw print.

From the moment guests are greeted at the airport by their driver, the attention to detail at Paws Up Resort is exceptional. Beginning with a seamless check-in, the staff anticipates every need, ensuring comfort, discretion, and an effortlessly pampered stay.

Staff members remember your interests, guides tailor outings to your comfort level, and your camp butler ensures every moment feels perfect. From the on-demand property shuttles to the high-touch service, the staff goes above and beyond to provide a truly memorable experience for guests.
