I had hoped this would be our new spot for our annual fall fishing trip, but it wasn’t a great experience. Activities: The pre-trip communication was terrible. We tried to reserve activities when we booked 5 months out and were told someone would contact us 2 months before our trip to set everything up. When we didn’t hear from them, we called and were told they had no fishing guides left. They asked if we could change our trip dates, but when we tried to cancel they said they’d find us guides. The week before the trip they still didn’t have guides so I started calling around to find our own, told them this, and somehow that day they found guides for us from off site. Food: The lunches Paws Up packed for us were terrible. They forgot to pack a dairy free meal even though it had been noted twice (later they claimed one of the wraps was dairy free but not labeled). The lunch was chips and these flat wraps with a thin slice of deli meat and thick slices of onion and a cream spread. We requested turkey clubs for the next day to have something edible. In the morning they gave us wraps again, so we went to the kitchen and reminded them of the order. After a 45 minute delay we had new sandwiches, only to later discover only two were turkey clubs, the others were “ham and butter with sweet pickles”… an American classic I guess? The first one I unwrapped had a piece of plastic in it, so we ate snacks for lunch again. We had a good exasperated laugh on the river about the comedy of errors with what should have been an easy boxed lunch. Overall: There were a lot of very nice staff members doing their best with the systems they are given. I don’t think I could convince any of my friends to come back to give this place another try though. In addition to the disorganization and lack of follow through, there were other issues like half a dozen burnt out lightbulbs in our cabin and long waits for drink orders (over half an hour to get bread and drinks at dinner, 20 minutes for black coffee at breakfast), that I wouldn’t expect from the type of place Paws Up tries to be.…

Very unimpressed considering the price. The food and beverage service was great, however all other customer service was terrible . Took weeks for an issue with our bill to be resolved. Multiple, calls, emails and no reply. Could not recommend. Food in restaurants where you ordered from menu was good. All buffet style family meals, BBQ and Chuckwagon were awful (cold, tasteless). Would not recommend.

This Montana resort caters to every age group. The entire staff caters to your every need and the food is absolutely amazing! The activities range from very adventurous to easygoing. Our tent was exactly like the website showed with a very luxurious bathroom that included heated floors & towel racks. I would recommend this resort to anyone who loves an all inclusive, ranch style vacation. The landscape here was amazing!

I went to Paws Up for a work trip organized by Gina and Amanda at Google. Everything was executed perfectly! The team was so thoughtful and detail oriented. The Resort felt luxurious, but did not lack its authenticity. I loved Fly Fishing and cattle driving. The staff was super fun and friendly. Every meal was outstanding. I HIGHLY recommend Paws Up for personal or corporate trips!

Everything you want in a luxury mountain experience. I spent 5 days at this fabulous resort and was blown away. Yes, the price tag is high but this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The long and short are the following: - it's glamping on an extreme level - there's something to do for everyone - the staff was very friendly and accommodating - the activities were bountiful and really fun - the food was awesome and had multiple options - this is not a place you go to if on a budget I left the experience feeling more developed as a person. I rode horseback for the first time, shot a gun for the first time, had the best pancakes I've ever eaten, and got to experience Montana in all of its beauty. Bottom line... this is a luxury resort ... you have to go into the experience knowing that it is going to cost a lot of money. Do not try and be budget-friendly, this is not the place for that. If you have the means to experience Paws Up, do it.…

Can all the positive reviews be real? I have never written a review in my life but this vacation was so bad I’m compelled to warn people from going to Paws Up. Kids summer break and this was the most disappointing way to spend precious time together. House was gross-dated and dirty. Porch furniture was made of hard sticks/ no cushions. Who would want to possibly sit outside and enjoy the view? A/C not working. Car was filthy. Communication from them before trip was terrible. Activities were a bust. One we had such a big group of strangers/ several small kids join us by the time we were driven there and given all instructions and suited up, the activity itself lasted about 20 min. Another we had a guide that actually scolded us to not ride elec bikes over 5 mph. Zero fun and each adventure was ridiculously expensive for what we actually got! Hands down the food was the worst part of all! Awful! One dinner we waited almost 2 hours to eat- to the point my 11 to child cried as was frustrated and staving. The food that finally came was so disgusting we couldn’t even eat it. Mornings we waited and waited for breakfast and had to ask multiple times to get anything. Coffee took 10 minutes but cream took an additional 10 after asking 4 servers. I’m serious this was the WORST service, food, vacation of my life! People all around us were complaining to the staff at meals. We overheard many tables express the same yet all these wonderful reviews? I don’t buy it! We told management in person about our experience and even wrote a letter directly to them. Received zero response-our trip was 3 month ago. Spent the next week in Jackson Hole and salvaged our family summer vacation! Had an amazing time at about one third of the $35k spent at Paws Up! I have told everyone I know to not go to Paws Up at least sparing one of my neighbors so far. I hope this review helps. I only wish I could write more to express my complete disgust with this vacation.…

Our Paws Up experience did not lack in any way! Accommodations in Meriweather Lewis Cabin were luxurious, all dining options were fantastic, beauty of property was outstanding, and activities were top-notch! Our family of six thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our 7-day visit, and we could not be more thankful to the wonderful staff who made our time there such an exceptional event. I want to thank so many people, starting with Natalie who helped me plan the perfect itinerary! Then, so many of Paws Up staff helped make this such a perfect experience - Erin and Call (for ATV and UTV tours); All wranglers were exceptional, a special "shout out" to Celiene and Lydia on the cattle drive (and helping arrange marriage proposal on Blackfoot River), as well as Anna, Celeine and Hanna for the morning Jingle. Food service faves were Walter at Trough; Marco, Jessica, Carlos and Kahlil - awesome! Blake and Martin were also a blast at Island Lodge! Kaz was great on fly fishing adventure. I know there are so many Paws Up friends I am omitting, but suffice to say, the entire staff is amazing! Thank you, Paws Up, for the most amazing and memorable vacation ever!!!…

This hotel was amazing in every way during our stay, with very good food and an incredible house. The activities were all extremely fun, with particular highlights being the ATV rides, paintballing and horse whispering with Jackie. I would definitely recommend Paws Up to anyone thinking about coming to this resort!

I have never written a TripAdvisor review before despite being a very frequent traveler and reader of reviews on the website. After reading a few reviews on Paws Up before my recent stay, I had my doubts on the resort. Starting a month before the trip, no one answered the phone or responded to an email from Paws Up. This too should have been a big red flag to me. Friends had told us the place was wonderful, so went ahead. I feel I have to review Paws Up as I do not want anyone else to spend $30K on a vacation that is un-informed on what you get for that amount of money. I would have been pretty content with the vacation if I had spent $15K on it. The $30K was for 5 nights, family of four, activities, gratuity, food, and a dirty tent at creekside camp. Although promoted as "glamping" I would definitely say this is more camping with a bathroom. The heated blankets nor the mini ac units in the tents worked. So, the 50 degree to 95 degree temperature swing in August in Montana was more uncomfortable than expected for our glamping experience. Please be aware when booking your stay that when you stay at a camp, you do not get a "Lexus car" to drive around the property to go to different activities and eating establishments. You have to wait on a van to pick you up and take you about 13 minutes back to the main property. Even when we scheduled advance pickups for the things we knew we had to be back at the main camp for, we ended up waiting 45 minutes-2 hours a day for rides. This was not a fun way to spend our vacation, especially when waiting in the heat in the 90 degree heat in the afternoon. I have given Paws Up 2 stars because the activities were fun, the chuckwagon dinner was fun, the activity guides and people that worked there were very nice and really tried to be accommodating. I could not say nicer things most all the people that worked here. I can think of almost anywhere on earth you can go stay and have a much better experience for 5 nights and $30K. For this amount you can go to Four Seasons in Hawaii for 13 days! Or Amangiri for 7 nights! And, those are truly five star experiences. I know there are many luxury type dude ranches in Montana that people love. Please explore other options before committing to Paws Up.…
