Colonel Wilbur Sanders, one of the first senators of Montana, built this three-story Victorian mansion in 1875. The colonel's rock collection is still in the front hall, and the B&B has retained his furnishings. Most of the rooms overlook mountain-ringed downtown Helena. Breakfasts are a work of art: Grand Marnier French toast, orange soufflé, or gingerbread waffles. Pros: Incredibly accommodating hosts, first-class breakfasts, warm, relaxing atmosphere. Cons: Dim reading light in room.
