Pack up those cowboy boots and get ready to ride into the sunset. The Resort at Paws Up is a pristine escape for you in Montana’s Rocky Mountains, taking full advantage of the Big Sky countryside. This wilderness destination offers something for all energy levels. You can explore the land on horseback, cast a fly for trout or simply indulge in spa treatments at Spa Town®.
As for their accommodations, you can choose from 28 luxurious vacation homes, or you can experience upscale camping (glamping) in one of their 36 luxury tents, with your own private bathroom and even the services of a Camping Butler. Need more privacy? Check out their private retreat, Island Lodge at Salmon Lake. Reserving this option is like having your own private island where you can enjoy water sports, fine cuisine and breathtaking scenery.
You will absolutely never be bored. There are 37,000 acres of resort property, 100 miles of trails, 10 miles of the Blackfoot River and 1.5 million acres of the nearby Bob Marshall Wilderness Area which combine to make for the ultimate outdoor playground for adults and kids alike. Saddle up for a horseback riding adventure, take your best shot at their world-class sporting clays course or experience Montana fly-fishing with an expert guide. There is even an ATV tour. Plus, there’s also boating, hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, paintball, rafting, rappelling, swimming, archery, cattle drives, a ghost town tour, geocaching, a fitness trail, helicopter tours, and more. My favorite is their Horse Whispering workshops that create soul-stirring experiences, rewarding you with an understanding of yourself, as well as Mother Nature.
Looking for an adults only relaxation experience?
