Another reason to book a stay at Cooks Cottage - the #1 tourist attraction in Indiana is located just minutes from our cottage. And co-owner of Cooks Cottage - Michelle, has made 1000's of charcuterie boxes for train passengers and sometimes is even the chef on board serving up passengers who book the dining car. Many of the train rides are themed: W**e & Chocolate, Bourbon & Ci**rs, Ice Cream Socials, Scenic Fall Rides & The Polar Express to name a few! Most sellout so if you are wanting to take advantage of this, book your stay at Cooks Cottage and your train tickets now! Link to see train dates in comments.
