The sublime and simplicity are perfectly in balance at the new all-inclusive Green O resort located near Western Montana’s Blackfoot River Valley. Surrounded by 37,000 acres of pristine wilderness, Green O is the adults-only sister property to the famed Resort at Paws Up.
With 12 unique cabins, referred to as Hauses, they share a pared-down, Scandinavian-inspired design, incorporating wood and glass to make the most of the forest views. Some hauses are elevated, resembling modernist treehouses, while others are firmly on the ground with curved silhouettes. Each composition is meant to connect guests with nature. Interiors feature deep soaking tubs, fireplaces and heated granite floors.
The year-round activities are designed to unite mind, body and spirit with an aim for guests to reconnect with themselves as well as their partners. In the more temperate weather spa treatments take place in the Spa Town (pictured above) collection of tents. Treatments include couple’s massages as well as a charcoal face mask. Guests can also enjoy a more meditative yoga class or work up a sweat at the Huff-and-Puff Fitness Center. Other options include mountain biking, hiking, fly-fishing, or soaking up the scenery from a hot air balloon.
Executive chef Brandon Cunningham creates distinctive cuisine served at the guests-only Social Haus – the hub of the property. Each day he and his team create a new eight- to nine-course tasting menu highlighting local, seasonal produce.
And finally, what’s in a name? The former owner of the land, Paul Greenough, would mark his sheep with a green painted “o,” bringing this experience full circle.
