Paws Up adds Grandma to Luxury Ranch Packages

With a new “Grannies Gone Glamping” package, the Resort at Paws Up (35 miles from MSO) is making it easier to bring the whole brood out West for a family vacation that will include adventure for kids and pampering for granny.

The rates and package features are based on a buy out concept for at least 12 people. Accommodations come in “tent suites” (two one-bedroom and four two-bedroom suites: maximum occupancy is 20), with spacious en suite bathrooms, a plush dining pavilion and a myriad of luxury resort amenities. Package includes:

  • Five nights of accommodations in a luxury tented campsite, including six tent suites – two one-bedroom and four two-bedroom suites (two-bedroom suites include a king-size bed and two twin beds)
  • A personal family camping butler
  • All daily meals, snacks and nonalcoholic beverages
  •  Two half-day visits to the Kids Corps of Discovery for each child ages 5–12
  •  A chuck wagon dinner experience for the entire family
  • A family outing to nearby Garnet Ghost Town
  • A Montana fly-fishing casting lesson for the family by a Paws Up guide
  • A daily massage for Granny at Paws Up’s Spa Town

Rates: From $599 per person per night (based on 12 adults and 8 children). Rate includes all taxes and gratuities, airport transfers from Missoula International Airport and on-property transportation.
