Getting In
The closest airport to Fourwinds Lakeside Inn & Marina is Indianapolis International Airport. It is an approximate 1 hour and 8 minute drive. We recommend flying into Indianapolis, but Evansville Regional Airport and Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport are sufficient alternatives. Both airports are less than two hours away from Fourwinds.

Our Story
Dakota and Kelly first met each other in September 2019. They were both working at Boston Scientific in Spencer, Indiana at the time. Dakota was working third shift as a material handler and Kelly was working first as a product builder. There was only one hour of overlap when they were both working together every day.
Each person gets twenty-four hours a day, but one hour a day has made all the difference. After many brief and casual encounters, Dakota finally mustered enough courage to ask Kelly on a breakfast date at one of the finest eateries in town: the Boston Scientific cafeteria. They both highly recommend the breakfast burritos.
The Proposal
How did Dakota propose?
It happened on a lazy (Super Bowl) Sunday afternoon in February. Kelly was dozing peacefully on the couch until she caught a whiff of smoke in the air. She was aware of the smell, but chose to ignore it since she was still in a sleepy state of mind...until the smell got stronger.
Now that Kelly was awake and alert, she quickly entered panic mode; there might actually be a fire in the apartment. From that moment on, everything happened at once. She arose from the couch at the exact same Dakota yelled from the other room, "Kelly, can you come in here please?"
It was confirmed in Kelly's mind that Dakota was beckoning her because something was burning inside the apartment. As soon as she turned the corner to enter the hallway of their apartment, the smoke alarm started blaring.
In the hallway was a sight that Kelly would never forget; tiny flames from fifty tealights lining the corridor and Dakota on bended knee with an engagement ring in his hands.
