Montana Resort Just Ranked One of the Best Pet-Friendly Hotels in the U.S.
If your dog is basically your co-pilot on every family adventure, here’s some tail-wagging good news! Paws Up Montana has just been named the Number 9 Best Pet-Friendly Hotel in the United States by USA Today’s 10Best. And honestly, it’s easy to see why.
Family Vacations Should Include the Whole Family
For those of us who plan our getaways with the whole family in mind, including the four-legged members, Paws Up is kind of a dream. This massive, 37,000-acre estate in Greenough, Montana gives your pup all the open space they could ever want, while the rest of the family gets to enjoy the luxury and adventure that Big Sky Country is known for.
Dogs Get the VIP Treatment
Paws Up makes sure your dog doesn’t just come along on the trip, they’re truly part of the experience. With their $50-per-night Pet Package, your pup gets all the essentials for a Montana style stay: a comfy dog bed, tennis balls to chase around the property, yummy treats, and even a trail guide so you know exactly where to explore together.

70+ Activities for the Humans
While your dog roams and relaxes, there’s no shortage of things to do for the two-legged guests, either. Paws Up offers over 70 activities to choose from, ranging from horseback riding and fly fishing to spa treatments and cooking classes. There’s truly something for every interest, which makes it a solid pick whether your family leans rustic, refined, or a little of both.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
As dog-friendly as Paws Up is, there are a couple rules to note. Pups aren't allowed in the tent accommodations, and you’ll want to make sure they’re up to date on vaccinations before you go. But with so many lodging options and that vast Montana wilderness to enjoy, your dog won’t mind skipping the tent life.
Dog-Approved and Reader Voted
This honor didn’t just come from a random list, it was part of USA Today’s 10Best, where nominees were selected by an expert panel and then voted on by readers who know what it takes to make a trip truly pet-friendly. That says a lot about how loved and trusted Paws Up is among fellow pet parents.

So if your dog’s favorite word is “adventure” and your family believes in bringing everyone along for the ride, Paws Up Montana might just be your next favorite destination.
