Had a fantastic time in Story. I guess we were expecting a cabin with cooking facilities. But, the food we had in Story was really good. Overall, we would recommend!

We had a wonderful time. It's secluded and quiet. We went shopping in Nashville, IN and hiked at Brown Co State Park. The cabin was very comfortable and clean and we would stay there again. 5 Stars

We forgot that Mondays are dead in Nashville. We left a day early, as heavy storms hit the area. All in all, very quiet and a good getaway.

Very thoughtful host

We were so pleased with our stay here. Our dog enjoyed her time here too, she was comfortable and right at home the whole 5 day visit. We thought it was very nice that the host provided quite a few kcups, paper towels, toilet perfume and a roll of doggie waste bags that saved us from having to go to the grocery store for our first full day. That we found to be very thoughtful and generous ❤️ make sure to visit The Story Inn next door!!! We spent the whole day there as we made friends with the staff. Such great people

It was still nice

Started off a bit questionable, couldnt get in or get ahold of the manager. Once in, seemed nice. During our week stay, we learned the sink was clogged, the gas tanks for the grill and fire pit were empty, and that being a downstairs unit, was noicy.

Nice out of the way place

We enjoyed the location and used the fire pit. Two rooms share fire pit and grill so consider this when booking. Also can hear neighbors through walls or upstairs. Since none of the neighbors upstairs or downstairs sat outside we pretty much had evening outside by ourselves

Peaceful and Tranquil!

The Lodge was very nice and clean. Didn't need for anything. Didn't use the grill or pit, too busy having fun doing other things inside. Thought that the snacks and games were an excellent choice. Space was adequate for 2-4 people. The travel was a little deeper than thought but was very nice pulling up to the Story Village. Loved seeing the horses and all the farm land coming and going. We have declared that we'd be back. Thank you

Delightful getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Story! The accommodations were very comfortable and the space was extremely clean! It would be difficult to stay very long without a kitchenette. I would know next time to bring a few dishes and silverware so it would be easier to have a light meal or snacks. The microwave and small refrigerator were perfect, but be sure to bring something to warm things up in. Overall, it was a beautiful place to spend a few days and enjoy getting away from the rush at home! Thank you for a lovely spot to land!

Nashville Indiana - cabin

Enjoyable and peaceful. Only issue was the fire pit was out of gas so wasn't working. I think it would be easier for clients if had a closer area for trash disposal / dumpster. Nice cabin and scenery. It's a struggle when u have a baby with you. Friendly atmosphere in Nashville and beautiful area. I liked how the tv was already connected to netflix and hulu and YouTube and no inconvenience having to put all your own information in the system. The bed wasn't very comfortable but it's a nice place regardless free snacks and bug spray and dog leash if u need one. That's a great idea! Very relaxing stay!

Lazy Retreat

We stayed in the lower level suite which was clean and nicely decorated. Comfortable, quiet and easy to get too. A couple safety issues bothered us: tub extremely slippery and the outside light on the lower level did not work leaving it quite dark when going up and down the stairs. There were lights on the parking side though. Also, we arrived at 4 pm just when the Colts were going to start OT. The TV was only set up for “internet TV” and we couldn’t find the game. We called Cara and had to leave a message but did not get a return call. We called again Monday and she said she “had no idea where to find local channels” and suggested we just subscribe and then cancel in a day or so??? Not a helpful conversation. Lastly we had coffee cups and pods but no coffee maker. We did run into the cleaning crew who gave us one from another suite the following day.

Great Stay

For the most part, our stay was great. We had some trouble with the code to the door when we arrived, but I was able to call the host and resolve the issue quickly. I thought the place was a bit closer to the main gates of Brown County State Park, but that’s my own misinterpretation. It’s close to the horse entrance, but that is not open to through traffic. We had another group traveling with us that stayed next door. It was great to be able to have our own space, but also have a patio to share. There is also a door connecting both rooms that can remained locked if you wish. Overall, we had a great stay. It was clean and peaceful.

This cabin is the perfect place to stay in nature for a nice getaway! The beautiful trees all around were amazing (we stayed mid-October). The check in was simple, cute and cozy decor, clean and coffee included! A short 10 minute drive to Brown County hiking trails.

Great little getaway!

My husband and I booked this last minute for a quick getaway without the kiddos. Was very clean and quiet. We stayed on a Sunday & Monday night, so unfortunately the restaurant was not open. But it is a quick and beautiful drive into Nashville where we shopped and ate. Great little trip! Highly recommend this place for some peace and quiet.

Lovely place for a girls weekend

We stayed the weekend for my sister's birthday, and it was perfect. Story is such a gem, and this room was conveniently located in a cabin on the hill above the Inn. There was a large wedding taking place during our stay and so quite a loud band for several hours on evening, but otherwise peaceful and serene. The room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including coffee and snacks! Overall a great experience.
