Where: Nestled in the magnificent southwestern Montana countryside just 30 miles outside of Missoula, The Resort at Paws Up is a 37,000 acre luxurious ranch resort with over 120 miles of trails that covers 10 miles of the infamous Blackfoot River (where parts of the blockbuster film, A River Runs Through It was filmed). Surrounded by unscathed wilderness you will be in awe of its breathtaking scenery. Nature at its best!
Where you stay: "Roughing it" is often a slang used to describe outdoor vacations, but the accommodations at Paws Up are anything but. Two-story pine cabins such as their Big Timber Homes or their Blackfoot River Lodge are scattered throughout the grounds and offer the most refined form of relaxation. The exceptional and friendly staff at the Resort leave no detail overlooked. With a hot cup of apple cider in hand, you enter a cozy log cabin in which each is equipped with a roaring stone fireplace, cowhide rugs and incredible four-poster beds complete with 300-thread-count linens. Also of note is their fully equipped kitchens, rain showers (with as many Aveda products you can get your hands on), heated granite floors, and – a must-have any time of the year – outdoor hot tubs. The cabins sleep anywhere from 6-8 people so it's perfect for a family – or a winter soiree with your friends.
Come summertime, it is an absolute must to book your accommodations in "Tent City." It is like nothing you will have ever experienced. Opened in 2006, Tent City (from June 1 – Sept 15) is an alternative to their private cabins whereby you "camp out" in lavish tents situated by the Blackfoot River. But, if you're worried this will be reminiscent of those camping trips as a kid, think again. The four-poster beds, artwork and, believe it or not, electricity are all there coupled with a camping butler to handle any of your requests. After and adventure-filled day fishing for Rainbow trout or horseback riding through the Rocky Mountains head into their Spa Tent for a relaxing massage all while the Paws Up chef prepares you a sumptuous meal (like their kale soup with smoked trout wonton or grilled Elk loin) that would rival any major Five-star resort in the country.
