When you arrive at the Green O at Paws Up Montana, you step into a world of your own – defined by privacy, towering pines, thoughtful luxury, and acres of Montana wilderness. It’s an experience meant to unfold at your own pace, whether that means chasing adventure across the ranch or settling into the comfort of your private hideaway. Fill your days with horses, rivers, and rugged trails, indulge in chef-prepared cuisine, restore with spa treatments, or simply follow the rhythm of the wilderness. This Green O itinerary offers a glimpse of what your perfect stay might look like.

Situated within Paws Up’s 37,000 acres, the Green O is an adults-only retreat that pairs complete seclusion with wide-open possibility. Its name nods to the land’s history, when rancher Paul Greenough once marked sheep with a distinctive green “O.” Today, twelve design-forward woodland hauses are hidden among the trees, each created for two guests and immersed in nature. Private outdoor hot tubs invite you to soak in the surroundings, while your own Lexus SUV gives you the freedom to explore the greater Paws Up property whenever adventure calls.

After landing at Missoula International Airport, Paws Up Montana is just a 40-minute drive away, yet it feels worlds away as city streets give way to forests, rivers, and rolling ranchland. Transportation is included, so you can settle into the experience from the moment you arrive.

At the Green O, retreat to one of four distinct woodland haus styles: the Green Haus, Light Haus, Round Haus, or Tree Haus. Each blurs the line between indoors and out with expansive windows, immersive forest views, and a deep sense of privacy.

There’s no need to rush. Ease into Montana time with a crackling fire, strum of the guitar, or a soak in your private hot tub, surrounded by the quiet of the woods.

When it’s time to dine, head to Social Haus, an award-winning restaurant reserved exclusively for Green O guests. Meals here are experiences in their own right, featuring a nightly tasting menu that’s inventive, beautifully presented, and inspired by the season’s finest ingredients. It’s a perfect introduction to the rhythm of the Green O: unhurried, thoughtful, and deeply connected to the land.

Then return to your private haus, where the peaceful forest and a star-filled Montana sky await just outside your windows.

Wake slowly as light filters through the towering pines, and enjoy your first sip of coffee before breakfast at Social Haus.

Then, it’s time to see just how expansive your backyard really is. Every Green O accommodation comes with a Lexus SUV for exploring the Paws Up property, giving you the freedom to move between your haus and the ranch’s many adventures at your own pace.

With more than 100 miles of trails and 10 miles of the Blackfoot River running through the property, choosing where to begin may be the hardest part.

Saddle up for a horseback ride through forests and open meadows, follow backcountry trails on an ATV tour, set out on a guided nature hike, or spend the morning mastering the art of Montana fly fishing. Adventures can be as exhilarating or as unhurried as you want them to be.

Afterward, gather with other guests for acoustic music and lawn games, or retreat to the Green O for a quiet afternoon by the fire for uninterrupted time together among the trees.

With little between you and Montana’s vast night sky, stargazing is as simple as stepping outside. Cap off the evening with a handcrafted cocktail or favorite pour, paired with gourmet s’mores by the fire.

By your third morning, the pace of ranch life already feels familiar: coffee, crisp mountain air, and no traffic beyond the ranch animals and wildlife wandering through the trees.

Today, go deeper into Montana’s Western heritage with one of Paws Up’s signature equestrian experiences. Join wranglers on a cattle drive, riding across open ranchland as you help gather and move the herd, or choose another horseback adventure that speaks to you.

It’s an authentic taste of life on a working Montana cattle ranch and the kind of experience that leaves a little dust on your boots and a story to bring home.

After lunch, trade the saddle for something softer. Retreat to Spa Town, Paws Up’s open-air wellness sanctuary, for some well-deserved pampering and rejuvenation. 

That evening, return to Social Haus for another unforgettable eight-course dining experience. Each course builds on the last, and no two meals are the same. 

After a day of adventure, unwind in the comfort of your haus with games, a movie, or a book, or cozy up beneath Montana’s star-filled sky.

There’s no alarm clock required today. One of the pleasures of a luxury Montana getaway at the Green O is the freedom to decide what kind of day you want after you wake up.

Perhaps you’ll take your Lexus for a scenic drive through another corner of the ranch or to nearby Garnet Ghost Town. Maybe you’ll spend hours along the Blackfoot River with a fly rod in hand, return to The Saddle Club for another ride, try your hand at archery, or customize your own Western hat to remember your time at the ranch. 

Or you can slow down and do as little as possible. The choice is entirely yours.

Stay close to your haus. Read beside the windows. Take a long soak outside. Watch light move through the trees. One of the defining luxuries of the Green O is space – the physical space of the Montana wilderness, but also the space to set your own pace.

In the evening, enjoy another meal at Social Haus, or switch it up by embracing a Western tradition: the Chuck Wagon. 

On your final morning, there’s no need to rush.

Savor your coffee outside and listen to the forest wake up. Settle into the hot tub one last time or simply take in the view from inside your haus, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows.

After breakfast at Social Haus, spend your remaining hours however they feel best. Take one last drive across the property, photograph the ranch animals, revisit a favorite overlook, shop at the Wilderness Outpost, or stay tucked away in the woods until it’s time to leave.

When it’s time to depart, resort transportation will take you back to Missoula International Airport in comfort, making for an easy, stress-free end to your stay.

The Green O stands apart from other luxury accommodations in Montana because privacy doesn’t have to mean isolation from experience.

Your haus feels entirely your own, surrounded by forest and designed for two. Private outdoor hot tubs, immersive views, and intimate spaces create a retreat within the retreat. Yet beyond your door lies all of Paws Up Montana: horseback riding, fishing, hiking, river adventures, wellness, dining, and thousands of acres within easy reach.

Your Lexus SUV connects the two worlds, giving you the freedom to move between adventure and solitude whenever the mood strikes.

It’s the rare Montana luxury resort experience where you can spend the morning in solitude among the trees, the afternoon riding across a working cattle ranch, and the evening enjoying exceptional dining, then return to the privacy and quiet of your own secluded retreat.

The beauty of the Green O at Paws Up is that you never have to choose between disappearing into nature and experiencing the best of Montana. Fill your days with horseback rides, cattle drives, fly fishing, and wilderness adventures, or slow down with hot tub soaks beneath big skies, quiet mornings among the pines, and evenings by the fire. Most likely, you’ll do a little of both. There’s no single right way to experience the Green O. Out here, surrounded by rolling ranchland, mountain air, and unmistakable Montana beauty, the perfect itinerary is yours to create.
