partner postcards!
In this time of unprecedented global events, people around the world are coming together—from a distance!—to connect and encourage one-another.
As the world navigates this new normal, we take the opportunity to celebrate some of the most amazing destinations and the people who make those places so special. In their own words, on-site partner specialists and hoteliers will offer glimpses into their lives and new routines, and share the special rituals and routines that bring their families together.
In times of uncertainty, I am proud to be part of a community that embraces difference, celebrates authenticity, and works passionately to connect people from all over the world. It is my pleasure to share some of these characters with you!
Next stop: Greenough, Montana and the beautiful Resort at Paws Up!
Situated on over 37,000 acres of undeveloped Montana ranch land The Resort at Paws Up is a little piece of heaven and opportunity to escape the hustle of everyday life with comforts that make it easy. Set along the Blackfoot River, guests and their families can relax in a true “glamping” experience and with activities ranging from mushing sled dogs and skiing behind horses in the winter to wrangling cattle, fly fishing the Blackfoot River, and ATVing in the summer, there is truly something for everyone!
"Montana is by nature a very remote and peaceful state, and so while there have been some recent changes in our daily lives, we are fortunate to be able to experience life in this private respite we call home. We are allowed to continue with outdoor recreation life, such as hiking, biking, fly fishing, horseback riding and more."
-Brittany Bauer, Reservations Assistant Manger
Along with wide open spaces and plenty to explore for everyone, Paws Up! is a favorite destination for foodies from around the world. The ranch attracts a star-studded line-up of world class chefs, wine makers, and tastemakers who share their crafts…and final products!…with guests throughout the year.
