Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
In the Blackfoot River Valley, hidden among pine forest across a 37,000-acre working Montana ranch.
The rooms
Every standalone haus has a private outdoor hot tub, and Tree Hauses rise twenty-three feet into the pine canopy.
Restaurant
Social Haus
A circular glass fireplace warms the pavilion, where curved green leather banquettes look out into the surrounding pines.
The adults-only Green O comprises 12 stylish stand-alone accommodations, or ‘hauses,’ with four sleek, Scandinavian-inspired designs on the forested grounds of the Resort at Paws Up in northwest Montana.
How it began
Rancher Paul Greenough branded his sheep with a painted green circle in 1915, giving the surrounding valley and the property their names.
