About

The town of Story, Indiana was founded in 1851. It is a 15 minute drive south of Nashville, past weather beaten barns, clapboard churches, and the finest foliage the Hoosier state has to offer. The entire town of Story is now a country inn offering fine dining, catering, and lodging.
Story offers fourteen comfortable and beautifully renovated rooms and cottages. To preserve the unique quality of this bucolic setting, none of our rooms have televisions, telephones, clocks or radios. We feel that Story should be a place to avoid the stress and static of daily life. Story’s Old General Store, replete with its creaky wooden floors and pot-bellied stove, is now a celebrated gourmet restaurant. The Story Inn's immodest mission is to define and refine authentically Hoosier cuisine. We offer locally-grown produce, eggs and fruit; locally raised duck, bison, and lamb. Our herbs and garnishes are grown and harvested in our own gardens. When placing these raw materials into the hands of our talented chefs, the results are carefully crafted masterpieces from only the finest ingredients. By matching the ambiance and food with fine wines, we are able to produce an experience that cannot be duplicated anywhere.

Amazing weekend and support!

We worked with Reyena. And we are so thankful! The whole weekend was managed and taken care of by her. She checked in with us repeatedly to see what we wanted or needed. I easily can say we wouldn’t have managed without her! She knew exactly what we needed long before either of us had any idea! We are so thankful!
In addition, the venue itself was just amazing , well maintained, and gorgeous. All of our guests had such an amazing time, and couldn’t stop asking how we found the place!
Also, if you cater through them, the food was INCREDIBLE. We did the smokehouse menu with brisket and chicken. I don’t think we had any left overs.
Honestly 10/10 recommend. We loved story and can’t wait to celebrate our anniversary there next year.

We had our wedding here at the end of august on the hottest day of the summer. Kate and Katherine did wonders in executing our "Best Day Ever". We would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a rustic but elegant venue and atmosphere. We can not be more proud and excited in how everything turned out. Guests are still commenting on how fun and unique the venue was. Both girls were continually around all day making sure our every need was met throughout the day. Including making sure we had drinks/ water, and food.

Don't Throw Your Money Away

I would not recommend Story Inn after hosting my wedding there in May 2024. It is clear to me now that what happened to us is unfortunately typical for the Story Inn - the owner/venue over charges, over promises, and under delivers. Below is a VERY abbreviated list of items that went wrong.
1. Ceremony location was not ready 20 minutes (not an exaggeration) before the ceremony
2. Bar setup was a disaster - the issues here, could be a lengthy review on their own
3. Very clearly under-staffed and unable to serve food in the manner agreed upon in advance
4. Hosted another event at the same time as our wedding
5. Did not receive several items and services that were agreed upon in advance
6. Poor treatment of multiple guests
