The Gooding University Inn, the old Gooding College building, is full of history and makes an excellent getaway for 1 person to large reunions. This is not a "cookie cutter" stay, the facility is unique and is full of charm. It was abandoned and neglected for many years and is now being remodeled and updated. There is a lot of work done, but it is "a work in progress", if you are looking for a Marriott like facility this is not it. The environment is open and rustic, with large hallways and rooms and some parts of the building needing finishing touches. We know you will enjoy making treasured memories with us.
This beautiful historic building was the Gooding College, built in 1920. It has been restored/modernized and makes a wonderful getaway for family get-togethers and other events.
West Wing:
The west has 15 bedrooms (each sleeps 2-8 people), 9 bathrooms, and a fully remodeled/modernized kitchen, dining room, game room and more . Currently we have beds for over 60 people, plus cribs and portable playpens. Also the Theater Room with High Definition Surround Sound and 3D movies, and a large play/gathering room (22'x75’) is included. Please take a look at the photos to see how beautiful this building is.
East Wing ($350/night, due on arrival)
The east wing will add 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms to your space. If you need the extra space the east wing sleep 36 additional people in comfort. THE EAST WING IS ONLY AVAILABLE IF YOU ARE RENTING THE WEST WING.

Gooding is a quiet small town but there's lots to do:
https://www.goodinginn.com/area-highlights
Gooding City of Rocks
Gooding City of Rocks is an area of unusual and highly scenic rock formations. Erosion has carved fascinating spires and hoodoos from the underlying deposits of solidified volcanic ash. Excellent hiking, sightseeing and solitude. About 15 miles north of Gooding on Highway 46, turn west at the BLM sign for Little City of Rocks. Follow the signs and travel about 7.5 miles on a generally well-maintained dirt road, which is suitable for passenger vehicles if conditions are dry. For more about the geology of Gooding City of the Rocks
Malad Gorge
The Malad River Canyon is 250 feet deep and 2.5 miles long. At Malad Gorge State Park, located right off Interstate 84, you can view the canyon and walk along the rim. The highway crosses over Malad Gorge, but the angle of view hides the deep gorge where the river cascades into Devil's Washbowl. Views of the gorge are best from the slender-but sturdy-bridge that arcs across the canyon.
Niagra Springs & Thousand Springs State Park
The churning, icy blue glacial water is a National Natural Landmark and part of the world-famous Thousand Springs complex along the Snake River. The park provides a great opportunity to drive into the 350-foot-deep Snake River Canyon. Once inside the canyon, you'll find year-round fishing in Crystal Springs Lake, including a handicap accessible site. Waterfowl and other wildlife are abundant.

Rosemary B. Jan 4, 2025 10:37:33 PM
Summary: We enjoyed our stay especially for the fact that there were bedrooms for everyone. The host responded immediately to questions and was helpful & considerate. No encounters with ghosts but we will be back to try again. A unique experience!
Ryan H. Dec 13, 2024 06:20:57 AM
Summary: We had a GREAT family Thanksgiving here with plenty of space for cooking, gathering, and sleeping. We are looking forward to booking here again soon!
Aidan B. Nov 18, 2024 10:02:12 AM
Summary: Great for groups, there was plenty for us to do and plenty rooms for us to sleep in
Julaine B. Aug 12, 2024 12:50:59 AM
Summary: Large facilities for big gathering. Plenty of room for everyone. Cleanliness/upkeep of property could be improved but everyone enjoyed their stay and we were able to cook and visit for 3 days in a central location.
Molly C. Aug 7, 2024 12:57:43 PM
Summary: This was the perfect location for our family. There were plenty of beds for everyone. And bathrooms were very functional so there were never lines. The kitchen was spacious and well stocked so we were able to cook everything without issue. We had plenty of seating for meals and entertainment for the down times. When it was hot they had ac inside and when we were outside for our carnival there were plenty of trees for shade. We had a lot of room for our dance, talent show, and baby shower. And the teens had fun playing jackbox games and watching movies in the theatre room. We had one of our members in a wheelchair and they were able to participate in everything. It is close to civilization for those who like to sneak out for a midnight run but far enough out you are not distracted with the world. The host and hostes are wonderful. I would highly recommend this spot for anyone who is looking for a reunion destination for over 60 people Or a destination wedding. (Could have a great reception here)
Madyson J. Jul 31, 2024 09:09:13 PM
Summary: It is a great place to stay with a lot of people. Many bedrooms and great play space.
Jul 31, 2024 09:07:36 PM
Summary: We had 49 people ranging from babies to great grandparents. This was a great space. We loved that the bedrooms were on the second floor so the teenagers could be loud in the basement and not wake the babies and young kids 2 floors up. The kitchen was well stocked.
Brittney U. Jul 25, 2024 09:19:10 AM
Summary: We had a family reunion with 75 people. We rented both wings and had more than enough room. Super well equipped: bedding and towels for everyone, toys for the kids, roasting skewers at the fire pit, every kitchen item imaginable for cooking for a big crew, multiple high chairs. Seriously, very well thought out for a big family group. Lots of big areas to play indoors and out. They even rent some bounce houses for an extra fee. Very good option for a big family reunion.
Sariah M. Jul 22, 2024 08:58:51 AM
Summary: The Gooding University Inn was a wonderful fit for our family reunion. Plenty of beds, bedrooms and bathrooms. The towels are ex large plus nice and thick. The game room was a HUGE hit! It was chuck full of toys!!! The massage chair in the hallway was delightful! The large living room open to dining area met we had room to all be together. And together is the best. The kitchen was well stocked with pot, pans, etc. even some waffle makers. 2 big roosters, which we used to slow cook ribs for 40 people before we grilled them. I love old buildings, I think they are doing a great job giving new life to her.
Morgan H. Jul 6, 2024 02:14:57 AM
Summary: This is the second time we have hosted our family reunion here. Lots to do in the area and the house has everything needed to accommodate a large group. The owners are super sweet and easy to work with.
