We attended dinner at Story Inn December 15. We have never been there before for dinner and do not know if the piano music (wonderful!) was a special event with dinner but the staff was dressed up in Victorian clothing and we absolutely loved it! Dinner by candlelight with a Victorian Christmas dinner menu.everything was delightful! It is a bit pricey so plan on that. And yes you do have to pay for bread if you would like it but it was some of the best bread we've ever tasted! Definitely something we would recommend if you have never been there for dinner Especially during the Christmas season!

Beautiful country setting. Rustic with the down home feeling. Not a fan of the "dead zone " But for the old country experience This is the place to go.

We decided to have our wedding weekend at Story Inn after searching around locally in Chicago. You cannot find this in the city! Story's grounds provided us with an intimate yet large enough setting for 150 people. We reserved the barn and were able to have all rooms reserved by family and friends who booked and paid individually. We were able to have roughly 50 people on site, in rooms and campers which was really special to be with everyone all weekend. We even added a light brunch spread on Sunday in the barn to stretch out the time together and it worked out great.
My husband and I decorated the grounds with personalized banners on the light posts, luminaries, and other details. We worked from beginning to end with Kate. Meeting a few times on site and coordinating much via email and phone conferences. Story can offer whatever level of services you'd like, which we loved. We wanted to do a lot ourselves, but didn't want to be doing too much when it came time for the big weekend. Kate was full of great ideas, very helpful deciding on menu and drinks, suggested vendors, coordinated rentals and set-up, the list goes on including rehearsal and day-of ceremony director. She even had a vendor to provide golf carts which we were particularly excited to rent, affordable for the weekend rental and came in very handy for carting grandmas around.
The result was even better than we could imagine. We anticipated some things going wrong with everything you hear and so many details to coordinate, but everything was perfect! We rented a tent in case of rain and ended up having a dry day but pretty warm. We were glad to have the tent for shade and peace of mind.
We had a big pole tent behind the barn, big enough to seat 150 and buffet. We had an intimate ceremony in the garden, lawn games provided by Story in front of the barn and used the back of the barn as the dance floor, view-able from the tent.
We continue to hear from our guests what a special weekend we planned and how they loved the location and delicious food. The food was fantastic, all of it - appetizer spread, smoked meats, salad, 3 sides and the best bread pudding on earth! The buffet went really smooth with plenty of options and enough for seconds.
I only wish we could do it all over again! We never expected we'd be fortunate enough to have all the things we wanted for our wedding, but partnering with Story made it all possible. If you want something unique and special, this is it!response / report this review -

A true back in time to a community frozen in 1930s. The Story Inn is a great place. It actually has rooms or small homes you can stay. The inns restaurant has a great menu and food very good. Everyone was friendly and very informative about the history of Story. Even about the ghost that resides at the Inn.

Unique place. Located while running the Harleys on the back roads. Had a couple of good ole boys playing music on the outside patio. We sat out there and had burgers cooked on open fire. Pretty sad burgers. Overall it was enjoyable and I would come back just because of the atmosphere.

Rode in on horseback from the State Park trails. Hitching rails are easily accessible and restrooms were a huge plus. Staff was very friendly and helpful when we went in for drinks.

Very disappointed..drove out especially to see this town and have lunch. When we got to the restaurant we stood at the desk ignored by the staff. Another couple waiting said it takes them awhile to acknowledge you. Finally a very tired or bored hostess informed us it would be 25 minutes. After waiting we when back inside. The bored hostess sitting behind the desk didn't even acknowledge us. After waiting an additional 15 minutes, we chose to leave.

It's a very small, charming, out of the way little place that takes you back in time. The scenery is wonderful, the restaurant is fantastic, and the service is impeccable. It's very out of the way. And very hard to get to by normal standards, but that's par of its overall charm. A short drive away is Nashville And Brown County State park, and all they have to offer as well.

Recently had my wedding here and it was the perfect choice for us! The setting was beautiful, and the staff catered to my every want and need. They did such an excellent job ensuing that it was everything that I've ever wanted. If you are looking to host a Brown County wedding, this is seriously the place to do it!

Story Inn is a restaurant and inn operated out of an eclectic old general store located in an obscured area outside of Nashville, IN. Get married in the lighted stable, visit a log cabin, or done in the general store after lodging at the Inn. Be careful not to blink, because you might miss it. It's about 3 square blocks of antiques, Americana, and Midwest hospitality.
