Goldsmith’s Inn is a historic, three-story, brick home that was built in 1911 as the University of Montana president’s house. The house has served many University purposes over the years; it was once a fraternity, a lab, and an office space, among other uses. In 1988, the building was slated for demolition to expand university parking. Amidst community outcry over the planned destruction of the historic and beautiful home, the Inn was saved by the Goldsmiths. In order to preserve the home, the Goldsmiths undertook an audacious plan to move the 4000 square foot house from the southern edge of campus to the northern banks of the Clark Fork River. The home was then fully renovated to create six classic and comfortable rooms, each with private, hand-tiled bathrooms and other modern amenities. For over twenty years, the Goldsmiths have been welcoming guests into the beautiful home to experience the wonder of Montana and a piece of Missoula history. Please note, we are now a vacation rental property (not a traditional bed and breakfast), meaning self check-in-and-out, and no daily breakfast. These precautions help our guests minimize contact with each other, with us, and with our staff. Thank you! Guest access Free on-site parking, a private entrance, access to nearby riverfront walking/biking trails, and easy access to downtown and the University make this spot a hidden gem in Missoula! Enjoy your own section of private porch, as well as a larger shared patio next door. Other things to note This listing is a private apartment in a *former* Bed and Breakfast. It includes access to private laundry, kitchen, and a river-facing front porch and next-door patio. You will see signs for Goldsmith's Bed and Breakfast - that's us! Please park on the west side of the lot in front of the house, not in front of the bike shop. We are located next door to Big Sky Bikes. Registration details 2024-MSS-STR-00080
