The Old Archer School was built in 1915 and operated until 2010. Then in 2017 the classrooms were remodeled and is now ready for family reunions, weddings, and company retreats.
In the large gym there is space to spread out and enjoy being together, rain or shine. We can provide tables and chairs to eat together as well as a sound system and projector for fun movies on the wall! The fire pit in the backyard is perfect for a nice summer evening of roasting hot dogs and marshmallows.

We had a wonderful time! The cousins are still talking about the fun, especially the gym. The extra activities for the gym were well utilized-tug of war rope, bowling pins, balls, toddler toys, etc. We set up a slip n slide that was really fun. The kitchen is well stocked. The neighborhood is safe and beautiful.
We needed a place last minute for our dad and grandpa’s funeral. This was a perfect place for us to all be together. The kids had a great time in the gym and the adults could be together in a different room. The kitchen and cafeteria was awesome! Such a blessing for what we needed!
Really cool old school. Big open space for kids to play and lots of room for sleeping and socializing. Nothing like it!! Lots of cool stuff to do in the area. We will return!
“Old School” 60th Anniversary Party- great place to celebrate!
The charm of the place added to our theme perfectly! Met by hosts upon arrival for check in. Justin & Nicole were very attentive, great line dancers and super nice to work with. Great location, easy access to local activities & services. Cleanliness could have been better - large areas, tall ceilings, high fans - carpets need shampooed, areas of peeling paint, cobwebby, just needs a good deep clean room by room - BUT it is an old building. Kitchen well stocked, almost too much. Few of the larger appliances should be removed as they are unusable. Ample fridge/freezer space. One oven doesn’t work. Eating area provided ample space. Lots of tables, chairs, furniture for visiting. Outside grills in bad shape - we used our own we brought. Outside offerings include picnic tables, swing set, sandbox area, huge grassy lot for outdoor activities. Gym was our gathering place - very well stocked for various activities and many kids toys, sound system/projector worked great. Inability to lock main doors was a concern for our group, although we experienced no issues. Overall the perfect place for our celebration!
Nicole:We had a great stay. Our children and grandchildren had a great time. Thank you for allowing us to make this our reunion home for a few days while attending a family funeral. No one was ready to leave this wonderful place.
Host is very responsive and cheerful! Our family went with some close friends and there families. We all loved the space and made some great memories! Would highly recommend!
We loved our stay at the Old School Inn. It was wonderful having enough space to sleep all of our extended family. Our children and adults alike had a fantastic time playing in the gym.
Great place for our family Christmas adventure. Plenty of sleeping space. Love the big kitchen and eating area. The best was the gym. So much fun. The school was clean and well equipped with everything. Great host. The location is great. We didn't get to go skiing because of lack of snow, but we did go swimming at the Hotsprings. Also, we had hamburgers and shakes from the famous Big Juds burger place. The old school is awesome with lots of history.
We held our family reunion at The Old School. There was plenty of room for everyone. The gym was active during all waking hours. (And plenty or bathrooms).
Loved the location for a lot of great outdoor activities.
This place was super cool setting four our group of 30. So much fun to all be in the same place and do fun things. The school house was unique and had all the room we needed. Thanks!
We wanted a place to house our large family for our daughter's wedding AND , if possible, a place to have a small family reception afterwards. Most venues, if you book and then have to cancel (due to CoVID), you would lose your deposit, etc. So.... since we were limited to the # of people who could attend anyways, and the Bride and Groom wanted a small reception anyways, we decided to try to find some sort of 'house' to rent. Then I found the schoolhouse. It was PERFECT ! With a few rented decorations (Rigby Rentals) and the bride's ideas of how else to decorate, we managed to transform the gym into a reception for 50 people. IF we needed, the outside had plenty of toys for the grandkids (as well as the inside toys and the full basketball court); Nicole & Justin were amazing! They were there for any needs or questions. They have put a great deal of work into renovations for making bedrooms and bathrooms for guests. It has the 'character' of an Old Schoolhouse, yet the bedrooms/baths were new. Our grandkids had plenty of space to run, scream, watch movies, relax (LOL) and eat! Having access to the old school kitchen and eating area was wonderful. They had plenty of tables and chairs for us to use. If we ever need a place in that area again for a large (or small) family gathering, you better believe, we'll look up Nicole and Justin again!
The well stocked gym was the highlight of our family reunion. The beds were really comfortable. There were a few maintenance issues (not all ovens worked, doors were difficult to lock, projector was difficult to work) but the owners were responsive and helpful.
The basketball court was used almost continuously for basketball, volleyball, devotionals, "entertainment night." The beds were new and great. For our close family, this space couldn't have given a better experience.
Close enough to all the cool stuff. LOVED BYU-I Ropes course... do that for sure!! Floated rivers, visited West Yellowstone, Bear World and Lava Hot Springs.
Thanks for the great space!!!
We were looking for a space with room for 20-25 people ranging from age 5 to 65. Our grandchildren had a wonderful time using the gym throughout the day, and watching movies on the big screen every night.
We wanted a place that also had air conditioning so we could sleep well at night. When one of the air conditioners quit working the owners came immediately and took care of it.
There were plenty of bathrooms and comfy beds, couches, chairs and tables for all of our needs. They gym was wonderful for the kids to run and play even when it was super hot out.
One of the essential refrigerators was not working properly and they were unable to take care of it because of part unavailability.
This place is centrally located to access mountains, rivers and a lake. It was close to stores for groceries and other things needed.
Loved the gym and all the toys, books, videos, etc. for the children and family fun. Number of beds and bathrooms was fantastic. Location is great. Tons of different places to see within reasonable time frame. So great for large family!!! The only thing that could be better is doing repairs to replace carpet, painting, air conditioning in gym/kitchen, and upgrade of electrical in kitchen area. That being said it is an old school house so I'm sure it will take years to make all updates needed. We would go here again!!!!
Great place, location, and setup.
We had 50+ people from ages 1 month to 91 years.
We rented the pirate ship slide, whack a mole ,and air archery all inside the gym from Goodtime Rentals. Everyone loved it! What a great time!
This was a fun location for a family gathering. We had a great time playing dodgeball, volleyball, basketball, and many other games in the gym. The kitchen was well stocked. There were enough beds for everyone in our 40 person party, and the beds were comfortable. The building is older, with some chipped paint and older carpets, but that was expected and did not deter our fun in any way. The hosts were helpful and easy to work with. I'd recommend it to any family wanting to make some fun memories!
Had a great family reunion. The gym was SO much fun. The kids always had something fun to do. Great kitchen space and plenty of room outside to pull kids on snowmobiles. Also fun that big Judds (hamburger place) is within walking distance. Overall amazing time!
We had a great experience for our large family of about 50 people. There is a lot of room and lots of activities right on site.
The proprietors are fantastic and have made this a wonderful experience.
The property is an old elementary school which has been refurbished and laid out to be very functional. It is not a luxury location, but worked well for our many children and grandchildren.
The location is somewhat isolated.
Thanks for the wonderful experience
It’s a fun place! We were too hot in July is in the kitchen and the dining area and sometimes the gym, but other than that our family really enjoyed staying there.
It has gotten to the point where we don't even consider it a reunion if we are not at the Old School Inn! We love the location, the size, the layout. Communication with the owner is great. The gym is a huge plus. We are definitely coming back again!
