Blossom’s Bed and Breakfast – 1910 Missoula house blossoms with care, rebuilding following fire – Grand Opening this Sunday

Blossom and Troy Savage’s house is both new and old, much the same as it once was but very different, too.

Transformed is a good way to describe it, literally rebuilt from ashes of a fire that burned the front and upstairs of the 1910 Craftsman-style house two years ago. It remains a family home, but is also a new bed and breakfast http://www.blossomsbnb.com. and is still a presence in its lower Rattlesnake neighborhood.

"A few weeks ago, we had a breakfast for 20 in here," said Blossom, sitting at the dining room table and looking around at restoration work that has taken more than a year to complete. "It was filled with people and talk and laughter, the way it should be. This is a house that has good spirit."

The grand opening for Blossom’s Bed & Breakfast is 2-5 p.m. Sunday at 1114 Poplar St. Reach the B&B at 721-4690 or [email protected].

The business’s Web site is http://www.blossomsbnb.com.
