Lehrkind Mansion Bed & Breakfast

German-born brewer Julius Lehrkind shunned the tonier neighborhoods on Bozeman's south side and built a stately Queen Anne mansion right next door to his brick brewery in 1897. Former national park rangers Jon Gerster, Jr., and Chris Nixon turned "the house that beer built" into a bed-and-breakfast 99 years later, with the original woodwork, plumbing, and floor plan intact. The ornate abode still sticks out in the quasi-industrial but up-and-coming Historic Bozeman Brewery District. Surrounded by breweries that are slated to become lofts and other vestiges of the neighborhood's beery past, the Lehrkind Mansion looks like something out of a fairy tale inside and out. Gerster and Nixon have done a remarkable job capturing the house in 1890s amber: Everything, from the rare 1897 Regina music box in the parlor to the many original fixtures in the bathrooms to the amazingly preserved original carpet in the Audubon Suite, is from Lehrkind's day. In 2004, Gerster and Nixon bought, moved, and restored a Victorian farmhouse that had been abandoned outside of town as a five-bedroom counterpart to the four-bedroom mansion.
