About this property

Old School Inn Archer 10,000 square ft

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.

There are live in managers on the property if you have any needs while you are here.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEE IS NON-REFUNDABLE.

Bedroom 8 with 2 queen beds, 1 bathroom and 1 kitchenette are not available from September 1st - April 31st


Options for additional cost:

We do ask that you provide your own sheets and towels. We provide pillows and blankets. If this doesn’t work we can provide sheets and towels for $10/bed, which includes 1 set of sheets and 2 towels for queen beds and 1 towel for twin beds. Please let us know before hand if you will need them.


Dance instruction. We taught country dancing at BYUI! If you are looking for some old school fun, we’d love to give you a flashback and teach lessons.

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.

A perfect place for our family to gather.

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!

Wedding Weekend

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!

“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!

Just our Reunion Speed

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!!!

Plenty of room for fun

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.

Had a great time

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!!!!

Fun place for a family gathering

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!

Family reunion

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

Great place for a family reunion

We loved our time at the old school inn!! It was a great place that everyone seemed to enjoy. The only improvement that could have been made was to have air conditioning in the gym, but even without A/C in the gym, we still really enjoyed our stay and it was abnormally warmer than usual for the week we were there. Justin and Nicole were easy to work with and very responsive! We loved our time at the inn. Thank you!

Fantastic place to stay for a large family reunion.

We’ve had a difficult time finding a location for all of our large family to stay under one roof. This was great. The gym was also amazing and constantly used. Heise Hotsprings is close by as well. The owners were fantastic and helpful. It was a great venue for a large family with lots of space.

Charming Value

We had a family reunion with 18 adults and over 30 cousins. The Old Archer School was a great fit. We had room to play, enjoy a talent show, and prepare our meals. It is an older building, but you can tell the managers are working to update things while keeping the old charm. They were quick to answer our questions and offer help in any way they could.

About the host

Hosted by Nicole Riley

Host profile image
Juston was born in Rexburg, Idaho but grew up in Northern Logan, Utah. Nicole was born in upstate New York. We met at BYU-Idaho country dancing. Juston knew when Nicole walked onto the dance floor that he wanted to marry her. It took much more convincing for Nicole... but after much debating she decided it wouldn't be the worst thing ever.... They were married in 2010... then he decided to be self-employed... maybe it was the worst thing ever :) Our life is fun and full of adventure. We wouldn't want it any other way. We have 4 beautiful kids who are growing faster than we ever knew was possible.

Why they chose this property

As our little family began to grow, so did our extended family. We found ourselves wanting to get together, but having a difficult time finding a place that we could all comfortably visit. When the school became available it seemed like the perfect solution. We have enjoyed countless family gathers at the old school and are looking forward to many more.

We hope you enjoy our school as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

One of the best things about the school is the gym. It is a great place to play, hang out, and eat. No matter what the Idaho weather is doing, there is always room for fun in the gym. We provide dining room (Tables and chairs) in the gym for over 150 people at one time. This is perfect when you have a large group staying at the school. Some people may enjoy camping outside, but still want a place to gather inside.
