Every so often, it hits you: the sudden urge to get away from it all in a place where everything is quiet, slow, and peaceful. Well, we went ahead and found the perfect tiny town in Indiana for just such an occasion. Seriously, there isn't a lot going on here - it's got a population of a whopping three(ish) people, a dog, and a cute miniature Main Street where you'll find every attraction in town (all two of them). Story, Indiana, is a cute little place that's quite literally one of the quietest places you'll ever go.
Story, Indiana is an incredibly tiny town with an official population of just three.
But this is what makes it such a perfect place to relax and unwind; there's nobody here.
When we say the town is small, we definitely mean SMALL.
It consists of The Story Inn, a couple of old buildings like a mill, and all the stunning forest surrounding it all you could ever hope for.
The Story Inn is where you'll stay; it is, after all, the only Inn in town.
Some day it's haunted... but we'll see about that. It originally opened in 1851, making it well past a century old now. It's rustic and elegant at the same time, somehow, and it makes for the perfect place to unplug.
Should you get hungry, that's fine - the restaurant at Story Inn is to die for!
The menu is impressive, and you'll find everything from soups and salads to steaks and chops. It really is a big experience in a little place! You probably wouldn't expect such top-notch delights from a town so incredibly tiny, but... here we are.
Should you decide you want to get out and enjoy nature a little bit, you're in luck there, too: Story is nestled in Brown County...
...and everyone knows that Brown County, Indiana, is quite literally famous for just how immensely beautiful it is. Talk about a perfect escape!
Come stay at the Story Inn and go explore Brown County State Park.
Goodness knows the little town of Story will be waiting for you to return... the same as it's always been.
