This is a place where breathtaking views meet thrilling outdoor adventures, a place where your soul and spirit can wander.

The Green O Story

It's a Montana tale. It was named for an early rancher, Paul Greenough. On land that was a patchwork of homesteads, fields, and woods, a scion named Paul Greenough established a ranch here in about 1915. His father was a wealthy businessman in the mining and timber industries, but Greenough wanted to be a rancher. So after acquiring the original 3,800 acres, he stocked herds of sheep, cattle, and horses. A man with a well-known sense of humor, Greenough decided to brand his sheep by painting them with a big green "O." Years later, the town of Greenough was named in his honor.

History Unfolds Here

Long before then, the Blackfeet, Flathead, and Nez Percé Indians lived and traveled through this area for centuries. First, they used the Blackfoot River as a transportation corridor. Later, fur trappers, miners, and loggers did the same. It's believed that Captain Meriwether Lewis, on the return trip of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, traveled through this land in 1806. Throughout the 20th century, the property was owned by several ranchers, including Land and Jon Lindbergh, sons of the celebrated aviator. The current owners purchased the land in 1997 and expanded the property to 37,000 deeded and leased acres. It's now a working cattle and bison ranch and the home of two resorts ideal for Montana ranch vacations, The Resort at Paws Up and the green o.

Accommodations

They are nestled into a secluded woods cape overlooking a picturesque valley. The 12 homes at the green o are carefully arrayed on a densely timbered hillside. Each Haus offers privacy for two - a sanctuary among the trees. Peek through the branches to discover spectacular views of the Blackfoot River Valley. Jagged mountaintops carve their way across the horizon. The million-acre Bob Marshall Wilderness and the Swan Mountain Range lie north, with elevations topping 8,000 feet. The Garnet Mountain Range is home to large elk herds and raptors to the south. For anyone who's ever wanted a luxury retreat in Montana, the green o offers unparalleled natural beauty.

Culinary Experiences

Modern Live-Fire Cuisine, Inspired Cocktails, And Fine Vintages. Dynamic and innovative cuisine. The dining experience at the green o is a singular culinary journey. Each course is a surprise, and each meal is a revelation, juxtaposing elegant presentations with primitive live-fire cooking.

The Social Haus - Located at the center of the Resort, the Social Haus is the true heart of the green o, just a short walk from each Haus accommodation. Soaring windows open outdoors, allowing the cooking aroma to mingle with the fresh, pine-scented air. Details like Shou Sugi Ban wood, stained to match the surrounding pine trees, and artisan-designed custom lighting accentuate the feeling that you're enveloped in the forest. Inside, you'll encounter the inner circle bar, an intimate lounge, a dining area, and an open kitchen. Take in the sights and smells as you watch chefs prepare exquisite meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Live-Fire Cooking - Taking full advantage of the Western heritage, the green o showcases an open kitchen centered on live-fire cooking. Dramatic flames kiss ranch-raised meats and grill them to juicy, fall-off-the-bone perfection. Expect tangy sauces and lip-smacking spice rubs. This is much more than your typical barbecue; it's theater for the hungry and sustenance for the soul.

Locally Raised, Foraged, And Farmed - Located within the more significant, 37,000-acre Paws Up Ranch, the green o culinary philosophy can be summed up in four words, "Cook locally, cook sustainably." We've built strong ties with the surrounding agricultural community and foraged the finest local ingredients. It's an inspiring place for the chef and his staff, with culinary riches that include cherries, wild chamomile, elk, beef, and even unexpected flavors like Douglas fir tips.

Just down the road, bountiful options - Guests at the green o are invited to discover other dining options available at the Ranch. Not far beyond the gates, at The Resort at Paws Up, you'll find the more formal Pomp restaurant, Trough with its home-cooked Western cooking and full espresso bar, and Tank with its exquisite drink menu.
