Accommodations

The Story Inn currently offers eighteen tastefully decorated rooms and cottages. Each room has a unique history with unique amenities, so we gave them names rather than numbers. All rooms are non-smoking, and have a full private bathroom and air conditioning. To preserve the unique quality of this historic setting, none of our rooms have televisions, telephones, clocks or radios.

You may order the "Bed & Breakfast Package" at the time you book your room, which will allow you to enjoy a full breakfast from our menu for only $9/person, plus tax and gratuity. 

ROOM RATES will differ, depending upon whether they are "Premium", "Peak" or "Non-Peak" times, as defined below.  

"Premium" rates apply to the following dates: Every Friday and Saturday in October; Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends; Thanksgiving Day and the weekend following Thanksgiving; New Year's Eve; the Friday and Saturday preceding Valentine's Day; and the weekends of the Indiana Wine Fair and the Hoosier Hops & Harvest.   

"Peak" rates apply to all rooms mid-April through November, as well as all Saturdays in December through mid-April, unless the "Premium" rates otherwise apply. 

"Non-Peak" rates apply December through mid-April, excluding Saturdays and days in which the "Premium" rates otherwise apply.  Before Labor Day, 2013, Non-Peak rates will apply Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings as well.
