With 37,000 acres of pristine wilderness, over 100 miles of trails, and 10 miles of the legendary Blackfoot River, Paws Up sets the stage for rugged adventure and quiet luxury. Here, you will discover an authentic Western escape on our working cattle ranch, where each day is an invitation to experience something extraordinary.
Step into the extraordinary. Put on your boots, expand your horizons, and discover a place where you don’t have to be anything other than present. Out here, where luxury lodgings meet endless adventure, you’ll find everything you didn’t know you were looking for. Paws Up Montana—The Wild You Need.
Stays include gourmet meals, airport transfers, on-property transportation, and access to resort amenities. Luxury home guests also enjoy a Lexus SUV for personal use at the ranch.
From Montana-style holidays and Cowgirl Roundups to the signature Montana Master Chefs weekend, every event invites you to gather, connect, and celebrate in true Western style. See what’s on the horizon. This spring, the cowgirls are coming to town—and you’re invited along for the ride. At the annual Cowgirl Round-up, you’ll spend your days riding alongside some amazing Cowgirl Hall of Famers—brushing up on your horsewomanship, participating in exhilarating cattle drives, and enjoying interactive demonstrations and workshops. At night, you’ll relive your adventures as you shoot the breeze around a roaring campfire. And it will all be peppered with exceptional chef-prepared cuisine. Trust the women who come year after year for this unforgettable cowgirl experience: exhaustion never felt so good.
There’s something irresistible about cooking over an open flame. At Montana Master Grillers, that spirit comes alive in a long weekend of smoky aromas, bold flavors, and unforgettable culinary moments. World-class chefs, pitmasters, and purveyors of fine food and drink gather at Paws Up to share their passion for all things fire-kissed.
