4. Listen of Ghosts here in Sunset, South Carolina.

Shamrock House: Historic Log Cabin, Servant’s Quarters, Cottage with trout stream – Sunset, SC | Vrbo
The property has an interesting history. We believe it was the first home in the area to have electricity (powered by a water-wheel at the back of the property, some remnants of that structure remain). The home was used as a place for travelers passing thru the area to stop and get a good night’s rest. Of course, every old home has a ghost story. The weeping sound of Nancy the Ghost is claimed to be heard on occasion, we can’t confirm or deny her presence…but we are pretty sure Nancy is a friendly gal and her “weeping” is just the sounds of the old house creaking.

We can confirm that former US President LBJ was a guest.

  1. The spooky factor of any building is proportional to the amount of rooms and people who have passed through. See for yourself at this once college and later hospital in Gooding, Idaho.
Historic Gooding College, Beautiful Building Small Town up to 24Bedrooms, 14Bath – Gooding, ID | Vrbo
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.
