Story Time Retreat in Brown County
A Cozy Woodland Cottage Near Story, Indiana
Welcome to Story Time Retreat, a cheerful farmhouse-style cottage tucked into the rolling hills of southern Brown County, Indiana.
Located just minutes from the historic village of Story, Indiana, this peaceful wooded retreat offers a place where the pace slows, the forest surrounds you, and time with family and friends becomes the highlight of your stay.
The property sits in a quiet forest setting where tall trees, fresh country air, and the gentle sounds of nature create a relaxing atmosphere. In spring and summer, the woods come alive with birdsong, blooming trees, and fireflies dancing through the evening air.
Inside, the cottage welcomes guests with warm and inviting living spaces designed for comfort and connection. With three cozy bedrooms and two full bathrooms, the home provides plenty of space for families, couples, or small groups traveling together.
At the heart of the home is the spacious gourmet kitchen, fully equipped with modern appliances, cookware, and generous counter space. Whether you're preparing a simple breakfast before a hike or cooking a full dinner for everyone to enjoy, the kitchen and large dining table create a perfect place to gather and share meals.
The living room offers a comfortable place to relax, with seating arranged for conversation, movie nights, or simply enjoying a quiet evening indoors. Smart TV, Wi-Fi, and central heating and air conditioning ensure guests remain comfortable throughout every season.
Downstairs, the game room offers fun for guests of all ages. Board games, a foosball table, and a movie viewing area make it a favorite hangout spot, while a creative corner gives younger guests space to color, craft, and play.
Step outside onto the back deck, where the surrounding forest creates a peaceful backdrop for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Tucked beneath the trees, the private hot tub provides a perfect place to unwind after a day of hiking, biking, or exploring Brown County.
A short walking trail leads behind the home to a gentle creek flowing through the woods, offering a quiet place for exploring nature, skipping rocks, or simply enjoying the calming sound of running water.
When evening arrives, the fire pit area becomes a gathering place for stories, s’mores, and stargazing beneath the open sky.
The location of Story Time Retreat also makes it easy to explore the surrounding area. Just minutes away lies the historic town of Story, Indiana, known for its rustic charm, live music, and memorable dining experiences.
Guests can also take a scenic drive to Brown County State Park, Indiana’s largest state park with more than 16,000 acres of forests, hiking trails, mountain biking routes, fishing lakes, horseback riding, and breathtaking overlooks.
The nearby town of Nashville, Indiana offers art galleries, boutique shops, restaurants, wineries, and local music venues that capture the creative spirit of Brown County.

Everything was absolutely perfect. The cleaning staff was very friendly. The little gifts for the women was a lovely surprise. Can’t say enough good things about this place.
Family from TN, WI and VA met for a long weekend! Great place with plenty of space for walks in the woods/park, fire pit beers, cards/domino games, or afternoon naps! Short trip in town for distillery or wine tasting and shopping. We also caught the antique tractor show!
Story Time Retreat was truly that. Our family spent Thanksgiving here and it was a joyful experience. The property was very clean and well appointed. Our host Marisa thought of everything. She thoughtfully provided a scrumptious pumpkin roll for us to enjoy and the coffee bar was outstanding. The kitchen was amazing too and had all we needed to cook a fabulous Thanksgiving feast! Most of all, we enjoyed the serenity and quietude this property provided. It was just what we needed. We highly recommend staying at this lovely retreat and we are already looking forward to our next stay here in the spring or summer.
House was very clean inside. Plenty of room for the 6 of us. Close to Nashville and Park entrance. 15 min max. Roads a little curvy for the wife.Seen an otter some deer. Enjoyed the Hot tube even though it was 90 outside. Had nice fire pit but was just too hot in the evening to enjoy. Overall a great stay with family.
