Sun Ranch Lodge, an "eco-lodge" in the southwestern corner of Montana, on the grounds of the sustainable ranching operation known as Sun Ranch, 1403 US Highway 287 North Cameron, Montana 59720, opened in May 2008 on the grounds of the old Seven-Up Ranch (aka Rising Sun Ranch), a 26,000-acre sustainable ranch established in the late 19th century. The Lodge at Sun Ranch, a luxury hotel once known as the Papoose Creek Lodge, has consolidated its guest rooms inside its 10,000-square-foot main house, originally the private residence of Sun Ranch's founding family, the Langs.

Sun Ranch is an eco-ranch, having instituted these green technologies (from its website):

1. Reducing packaging through bulk purchases;
2. Recycling aluminum, glass , plastic, and paper at all levels of the operation;
3. Using biodegradable packaging for to-go lunches; and purchases reusable products where possible.
4. Using recycled paper products (toilet tissue, marketing materials, etc.) and organic, fair trade cotton linen and towels.
5. Providing biodegradable products in pump dispensers (shampoo, soap, etc.) for guest use;
6. Protecting wastewater with use of biodegradable products including detergents and cleaning products free of environmentally hazardous chemicals.
7. Reusing "gray water" for watering plants.
8. Directing wastewater into underground septic tanks then filtering into ground through drain fields to avoid wastewater entering rivers or streams.
9. Preserving habitat through non-motor-based recreational activities and eradication of noxious weeds on lodge property.
10. Preparing gourmet meals using a variety of local, natural, free range, and organic products. The dining room has been refurbished to seat 30 and serves three squares of great food crafted from these local organic products.
11. Using reclaimed materials in new construction.
12. Planting 10 trees in the Amazon through Trees for Travel for each guest visit to help offset carbon emissions.

The Lodge at Sun Ranch is part of the Sun Ranch Group, a "multi-faceted company" devoting time and energy in an effort to build a "consistent model for the practices of conservation and sustainability."

The Lodge at Sun Ranch offers vacation packages for activities or relaxation, with the most popular choices ranging from three to seven nights.

The pub and Butte's Irish heritage, which it represents, have been featured in several publications, including Irish America, The World of Hibernia, and Montana Magazine.

Backbar Background and Other Features

This corner landmark is part of Butte's National Historic Landmark District. Architect Herman Kemma, who began his Butte practice in 1898, designed this attractive landmark at the end of his productive career.

The two-story building of brick and concrete, constructed in 1922 for $45,000, features large arched ground-floor windows and a series of brick pilasters in the upper floor. One of Butte's long-time newspapers The Butte Daily Post moved its printing operation into this building in 1923, without missing a single issue, and continued publication in the building until 1950.

The Pub's tin ceiling and hard wood floors are original. The front and back bar were formerly located at the now-closed Montana Bar on Butte's East Park Street. The Victorian-design front bar is dated 1895, and the back bar is dated 1909, and features tiger mahogany, mother of pearl with ebony and ivory inlays.
