Pastry Chef - Casino jobs in Montana

Nestled deep on the densely timbered southern edge of the expansive 37,000-acre Paws Up Ranch, the green o is a hidden gem designed for adults searching for the perfect blend of adventure and serenity. Staying true to our Montana roots, we’ve created 12 secluded Haus accommodations that give you the ultimate in privacy while surrounding you in nature. This isn’t just a luxury resort. This is a place where breathtaking views meet thrilling outdoor adventures—a place where your soul and spirit can wander.

Located at the center of the resort, the Social Haus is the true heart of the green o, just a short walk from each of the Haus accommodations. Soaring windows open to the outdoors, allowing the mingling of cooking aromas 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.
