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!
Free on-site parking, a private entrance, access to nearby riverfront walking/biking trails, and minutes from downtown make this spot a hidden gem in Missoula! The Clark Fork Suite includes access to a private porch area as well as a shared patio space overlooking the river.
We do not live on-site but are available via email and phone.
We are in the heart of Missoula right on the river! Drum Coffee and Black Coffee Roasters are super close as well as all of downtown.
Market on Front is just a short walk down the river to grab a coffee or a breakfast burrito, and FINN is about a block away for drinks on their deck or a nice dinner.
Just across the river and the walking footbridge (all steps from the front door) is the University of Montana and hiking on the "M" trail, or Kim Williams trail.
Albertson's grocery store is also a block away, where you can find Starbucks and Five Guys another block or two away. We are convenient to the interstate as well.
We'd suggest trying out the river front trail! It's about ~.75 miles to downtown. Otherwise you can also bike, or drive. If you drive, we recommend using the 2 parking garages and then walking around from there (the 1st hour is free in the parking garages and they are free on weekends).
If you are looking to rent bikes, unfortunately the next-door shop is unable to offer this service. However, the Bicycle Hangar Downtown rents all kinds of bikes, and are about a 10 minute walk away!
Please note that this Suite is an individual room in a *former* Bed and Breakfast. It does not have access to a kitchen, but is furnished with a mini fridge, microwave, Keurig and tea kettle. We provide paper plates, napkins, utensils, hot cups, and a variety of snacks.
You will see signs for Goldsmith's Bed and Breakfast - thats us! You are welcome to park in the lot, but 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.
After parking you will walk along the side of the building towards the river, and the front door of the house, and head up the stairs to the front deck.
