Your private luxury ranch accommodation comes complete with panoramic vistas and an extensive list of features including a great room with a soaring vaulted ceiling, a cook’s kitchen, a loft game room, and three master suites featuring en-suite master bathrooms outfitted with a spacious slate shower, a jetted spa tub, sumptuous spa products and plush towels.

Nightly rates for each type of accommodation include breakfast, lunch and dinner per day per person as well as beverages with meals (soft drinks, water, beer/wine).
The camps are open from early May through the summer until mid October.
At the huge indoor equestrian arena known as The Saddle Club, many guests spend their entire stay’s under the keen eye of the ranch’s experienced trainers. Here riding skills can be polished and new ones learned.
Novice or expert, every rider will enjoy a range of services, from private lessons to group rides, tours and even horse-care lessons.
The Saddle Club at Paws Up is the the largest private equestrian centre in Montana, featuring a 23,000-square-foot riding arena, seating for 150 spectators, a VIP suite with full bar, 52 stalls and more than 100 miles of glorious riding trails.
As this is a working ranch, there will be the occasional days when the herd needs rounding up, driving back to the corrals, sorting through them and then driving back to their summer pastures.
Horse riding is an optional extra that needs to be arranged and paid for at the ranch.
Adventure enthusiasts will just love Paws Up. The resort has 100 miles of trails, 10 miles of the Blackfoot River and 1.5-million acres of the nearby Bob Marshall Wilderness combine to make for the ultimate wilderness playground for adults and kids alike.
Saddle up for a definitive Montana horseback riding adventure, take your best shot at a world-class sporting clays course, or experience Montana fly fishing with an expert guide or kick up some dust on an ATV tour.
Nearby championship golf may challenge you next. And, if that doesn’t satisfy your adventure appetite, there’s also swimming, boating, hiking, mountain biking, paintball, rafting, kayaking, rappelling and more.
