About Paws Up Montana

Insider tip

Release your inner cowboy or cowgirl on an authentic cattle drive, where you can try your hand at herding cattle from horseback. –Jean Pickard Atlanta, Georgia

In the hotel’s own words

At the crossroads of incomparable luxury and unspoiled wilderness lies The Resort at Paws Up®. This authentic, working Montana ranch is situated in some of the most breathtaking country in the world. Spend an hour, a day or a week on horseback. Cast a fly in sparkling waters to eager cutthroats, explore the land Lewis & Clark swooned over or lose yourself in a world-class spa. You’ll sleep on the finest linen amidst a landscape of rustic elegance. It’s home to first-class adventure and located only 35 miles from Missoula International Airport. If you think Paws Up is beautiful on the outside, wait until you step indoors. The Resort’s luxury homes are enticingly private and impeccably appointed in a tapestry of rustic elegance. Indulge in an expansive Wilderness Estate, perfect for families or groups. Honeymooners can hide away in a cozier Meadow Home. Or for a true Montana experience, stay in our historic Morris Ranch House or Blackfoot River Lodge.

The executive chef at Paws Up creates delectable cuisine that blends sophisticated culinary techniques with the freshest Montana ingredients available. Huckleberries might complement a breakfast of French toast and handmade sausage. Rocky Mountain trout sautéed with fresh herbs may be paired with an exquisite Napa Valley chardonnay. Soak up the rustic luxury of Paws Up at an authentic chuck wagon dinner. As the sun sets, dinner sizzles nearby.

Discretely nestled near an expansive meadow, in the waving shade of soaring pines, sits Spa Town® at Paws Up. This haven of relaxation offers natural light, soothing sounds and indigenous aromas—and that’s just the reception cabin. A winding boardwalk takes you to the privacy of your own tent, where one of our talented therapists will provide healing treatments for mind, body and spirit. This sanctuary gives new meaning to the term “getting lost” in the woods.

Adventure enthusiasts rejoice! Our 37,000 acres, 100 miles of trails and 10 miles of the Blackfoot River combine to make for the ultimate wilderness playground. Saddle up for a definitive equestrian experience, take your best shot at our sporting clays course, fly-fish with an expert guide or kick up some dust on an ATV. And, if that doesn’t satisfy your adventure appetite, there’s also hiking, mountain biking, paintball, rafting, rappelling, hot air ballooning and more. Visit in the winter and you’ll enjoy cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, dogsledding and snowmobiling.

The green o - The 12 homes at the green o are carefully arrayed on a densely timbered hillside. Each Haus offers privacy for two—a sanctuary among the trees. Peek through the branches to discover spectacular views of the Blackfoot River Valley. To the north lies the million-acre Bob Marshall Wilderness and the Swan Mountain Range. To the south lies the Garnet Mountain Range, home to large elk herds and raptors of all kinds. For anyone who’s ever wanted a luxury retreat in Montana, the green o offers unparalleled natural beauty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $300 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
