Take I-90 East from Missoula Montana Airport to Exit 109, then follow Highway 200 East through Bonner to Backcountry Road. The main gate is marked but set back from the road. Airport transfers can be arranged with the reception.
Ranch excursions like ATV tours and fly fishing guides should be booked 30 days before arrival. Dine at the Social Haus counter to chat with the chefs, and use the included Lexus SUV to explore the wider ranch boundary.
The resort area itself is adults-only, but many wilderness excursions are shared with the family-friendly main Paws Up property. The individual hauses are also positioned close enough that neighbors may be visible through the pines.
