We can’t overstate what a special experience this was for us. Riding, fishing, hiking—we loved everything we did, and ate like kings in between. We were cared for the minute we stepped foot in Montana with impeccable service—unfailingly helpful, never intrusive. The guides were each experts at what they do but also excellent teachers. And every staff member we encountered was brimming with positive energy. We enjoyed having the freedom to explore the property ourselves some while also drawing on the expertise and knowledge of the staff in guided activities. Just a perfect week overall. We spent the trip home plotting our return!
I hesitate to even tell people about this resort for fear it will become even more popular. The food, the bikes, the horses and most of all the staff, its all fantastic. It is a world class campground in an awe inspiring location. We went in May for a much needed break from the virus lockdowns and it was just what the doctor ordered. We shot guns, rode electric mountain bikes, rode horses and ate/drank to our hearts content. Everyone from the owner Mrs Lipson, to Steve the managing director, to the Executive Chef Sonny, did you not only get to see on a regular basis but were very involved and a working ingredient of the Paws Up experience. I can't recommend it enough. But perhaps the most wonderful part of the trip was when the staff brought our 22 year old daughter up on stage at the chuck wagon dinner and played Pomp & Circumstance, gave her a Paws Up diploma and cap with fish lure that she had to flip over to the other side of her fishing cap. Due to the Covid she had to skip her college graduation and I commented to the Steve and Sunny that I did not think I had ever seen her look happier than that evening. The wonderful glow from the evening sun was no match for the glow she had as she proudly marched back to us. Thanks again for the unbelievable three days and we will be seeing you soon again with a bigger crew in tow. Sorry this thank you has taken this long...oh and our camp hosts, what fun we had with them. And our horse wrangler, thank you so much for the liberty to actually ride our horses, so much fun. I wish I was there right now.…
I can't recommend Paws Up enough. The price is well worth the location, food, comfort, and service. We were so well-cared for and found it hard to leave. The resort makes for a great stay whether you want to explore the great outdoors across their gorgeous property, or enjoy a relaxing staycation in their luxurious accommodations. The food is so good and the staff and service made the whole trip so memorable for us.
This was an unforgettable experience! It was very family friendly, amazing food, breathtaking sights, and astonishing activities. Paws Up met my expectations and higher! Everything there was so great and enjoyable it makes us want to come back now every year! Even my kids want to live here now, due to the sights and adventures you can have. The landscape and the nature was so beautiful and you get to see a lot of wildlife as well; like eagles, deer, bunnies, coyotes, etc. I really recommend going to Paws Up if you are looking for something that is family friendly mixed with adventure and nature.
If you are looking for the perfect combination of natural beauty, activities for every interest, pampering, terrific food/drink/amenities, and just great fun, our 4 days at Paws Up checked all of the boxes. Our choice was to be busy from sun up to well past sun down, and there was no shortage of actives to keep us thoroughly entertained, including the terrific French Laundry event nightly. Most of the time we felt as though we had the property to ourselves. While not inexpensive, the experience is memorable and we felt a superior ‘return on our investment’. A friendly and attentive staff sets Paws Up apart. While our visit was at the tail end of the Winter season and we would not hesitate to come back during this time of year again, we intend to come back and sample other seasons as well.…
