The Green O is outstanding to say the least. When my Husband booked this trip for us we of course had expectations of what the service and accommodations would look like. I can tell you that it went far beyond our expectations! Chef Brandon is not only a TOP NOTCH chef, his personality is not that of a typical Chef. Sincere, kind , understanding and very informative, yes a Chef who actually comes to your table to see how everything is going. Amy, Cassi, Ashley, Katelyn, Jimi, Phillip, Brooklyn, Molly, & the Manager Kiona. (Apologies for anyone I forgot) The resort is outstanding but these people, make it truly an unbelievable experience. We will never forget the experience and that they are the reason why. I’m so passionate about this because I was in Retail Management for 30 years. I had some great employees over my years, and I can tell you what they have going on at The Green O , is truly a very rare and wonderful environment to be a part of. So Thank You to everyone! Such a Pleasure for David and I to meet and spend some time with you!

My husband and I stayed at the Green-O in October 2021 for our honeymoon, and it was the best vacation we've ever taken! Everything was exceptional from the food, the service, and the accommodations. We felt bad for people staying at the Resort at Paws Up, because being at the Green-O was like an oasis. Jeff and Buck from hospitality and Brandon, Elijah, and Krystle made our stay extra special, and we particularly loved each night's tasting course menu. Special touches like arriving to our accommodation to find homemade sorbet in the freezer and leaving for the airport with a takeaway homemade pizza and sandwiches were the icing on the cake. We'll forever look back on our stay fondly, and we're hoping to return soon!

In August, my wife and I spent a week at the Green O. We had never heard of it, but it was recommended by Lexus. We have been blessed to travel to many parts of the world, but this was truly one of the best experiences ever!! The Cabins were awesome, unique, and very modern. The events we did each day were well staffed, planned out and very enjoyable. (especially the fly fishing and sporting clay) However, the very best part was the incredible meals that we had. Breakfast and lunch were great, but there is no way to describe the Fantastic dinners each night. Brandon (chef) is a true culinary master. In no particular order we would like to recognize the Staff: Caleb, Jeff, Buck, Jonny, Mitch, Elijah, Kyle, Krystal, Kylie, Sydney, Karla, Casey and Shannon. These people went way above the call of duty to provide a truly exceptional guest experience. We are already talking about going back. Great Trip!!

The Green O was incredible! We spent four nights here for our honeymoon and I can’t imagine a better way to celebrate marriage. The food, the staff, the nature, and accommodations are all world class. Couple of the highlights for us- Food & Wine- Every night was possibly one of the best + most memorable meals of our lives. Seriously, every night felt like a dinner at a michelin star. Chef Brandon, Elijah, Krystle and their entire team are next level. We asked them to pack a picnic for us to take and eat along the Bitterroot River and I’m confident it was the best picnic we’ll ever have :) Design- The homes are all beautiful and extremely well decorated. The beds are *insanely* comfortable and it’s nice that each home has its own private hot tub. Nature + Activities- Wow. The Green O property and surrounding countryside and absolutely gorgeous. From fly fishing to rafting and horseback riding, there is something for everyone to enjoy at the Green O. We visited in July but would love to come back and experience the property and Montana wilderness in another season. Staff- The staff are all incredible and so thoughtful + accommodating of guests needs. THANK YOU to Jeff, Karla, Chef, Elijah, Krystle and the entire Green O Staff! This is a must visit!

Green O was an excellent vacation. We stayed at a Tree Haus which was really unique. The best part as many have stated was the food! Chef Brandon & his team were absolutely incredible. All the various chefs and their preparation along with their authentic enthusiasm was fun to watch. The activities at Paws Up were fun ( horseback, fishing, UTV riding, sporting clays ) were also great. I think you may be able to mimic some of these at various places, but would be hard to do them all at 1 inclusive place. Overall, the dining experience sets Green O above all their competitors. We did have some issues with the A/C during our stay, but fortunately, someone rectified our situation.

This was our first time at the Green O and we plan to come back. Here is the rundown of our experience. Check-in: you are greeted by a staff member at the Social Haus, and encouraged to grab a drink or bite while they take your belongings to your room. Drinks and bites are amazing so definitely take them up on that. They give you a wrist band for accessing your room and a host showed us all the amenities of our room (Tree Haus), and let us get settled in before dinner. Definitely make sure that you get shown how to use the fireplace and Sonos surround sound in your home. We had to ask for help a second time. Also, given the amount of glass windows in the homes it may run hot especially upstairs (our AC struggled a bit the first day, it was around 80 and sunny that day outside). In the evenings we chose to just leave our sliding doors cracked on the balcony to regulate some fresh air into the home and help it stay cool when needed. Food: breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all included and one of the many highlights. You will not be disappointed. They are also happy to accommodate any food allergies or preferences. The wait staff is super attentive and the kitchen staff are very welcoming as well and happy to share more about the dishes if you choose to ask questions. You can tell the chef has put a lot of effort into each dish and it was nice that the courses for dinner change each evening. We also checked out the Paws Up menus at their other restaurants as well, but the Social Haus menu is worth sticking around for. It provided a more intiment setting and multiple courses. Activities: we took a 9 mile self guided mountain bike/gravel ride (they provide bikes to you, ours needed more air in the tires) which we used to check out the other parts of the property Paws Up, the river, etc. You could also do the same with the private Lexus vehicle they loan you for your stay, which we used when needed. The archery guide William was awesome and we loved the experience. It is set up with multiple stations to shoot dummy targets (deer, elk, bear, etc.). We spoke to other guests who went fly fishing, horse back riding, atv guided ride to the ghost town, etc and they all seemed so happy about their adventures. What could be improved: 1) Some of our texts to the concierge didn't get a timely response, 2) we booked this specific weekend because the event schedule had listed a special 'Nashtana' food and music events. However, when we inquired about getting transportation to said event the staff told us it was too late to do so and that music wasn't happening on Saturday, which we later learned that the music did happen it was just that our scheduled dinners overlapped so the timing couldn't work for us. This was disappointing but on our final night we did catch some live music at Paws up, albeit we had to leave dinner early to attend it. I got the vibe that those staying at Green O don't usually venture off for food and events happening on the more public parts of the Paws Up property. We enjoyed the appeal of both (especially for music and cocktails outside) but for some people perhaps never leaving Green O would suffice as the Social Haus is amazing and certainly worth spending time at. And it is adults only, so you don't have to worry about any kiddos running around the property while you are enjoying the wonderful food and peaceful surroundings. It is worth noting that when we did venture to Paws Up (shed and other properties) for a drink they were inclusive of our stay. It was nice not having to carry cash or a card with us. Extras: We also met with their event planner who was amazing and spent about an hour showing us some of the event spaces throughout Paws Up. He then connected us to his colleagues who quickly responded to our inquiries. I could see this being a great fit for a corporate retreat, elopement/engagement, or small private gathering. The Green O does allow full buyouts of all 12 private units when availability permits it. We were also told that they sometimes offer a discount to returning guests. A+++

My wife and I stayed at the Green O for our third year in a row. We stayed in the "Light House" and it is definitely the BEST. The fly fishing was fun and the sporting clays was my favorite (thanks Buddy!). While some of the staff have changed we still received excellent service as always. The food and presentation was out of this world. Brandon is one of the Best Chefs I have ever had the had the pleasure of meeting. Kiona, the manager, has assembled a great staff who all made us feel like family. Thank you Amy, you're the Best, and we really appreciate Jimi, Katelyn, Cassi, Ashwin, Phillip, Bodhi (my wife loves your desserts) and Carson. We look forward to seeing everybody next year!

An amazing stay for my wife and I at Green O. The staff was amazing and the food spectacular. A special shout out to Jimi who brought us dice from her own home so that my wife and I could play a game where we had forgotten the dice. Amy was fantastic as well as she could not be more warm and welcoming. All of our activity guides were great and the excursions provided a good time.
