Cozy, Bright Home in Historic Downtown

Hello, Dolly! This bright and cozy home in the heart of downtown Mt. Sterling provides comfort and convenience. With hundreds of unique artifacts and rare photos to discover, you will find peace, relaxation, and tons of Dolly-themed photo ops! In addition to WiFi and Roku TV, guests will enjoy a massive collection of Dolly Parton films, records, and books. A fully-themed kitchen, bedroom, dining room, and bathroom offer many fun Dolly touches. A place so cute, even Jolene wants to stay!

Welcome to this cozy Dolly Parton hideaway, located in beautiful and historic downtown Mount Sterling, Kentucky! Guests will write their own Rags-to-Rhinestones story in this charming Bluegrass home on the fringe of the hills of Appalachia.

Living Room: Smoky Mountain Memories
You will be transported to your Tennessee Mountain Home as you discover the many hidden gems in this Airbnb. Dolly fans will certainly want to take advantage of Time Life's DOLLY The Ultimate Collection DVD set, and the full collection of Dolly books, including: My Life and Other Unfinished Business, Songteller, What Would Dolly Do?, and She Come By It Natural, among others. Enjoy an extensive collection of Dolly records on the old-fashioned record player. Also on display are collector's edition Dolly dolls, vintage Dollywood merchandise, and even a life-size Dolly!

Surrounded by butterflies and immersed in beautiful pinks and blues, escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life in this comfy bedroom with unique Dolly touches - especially the blonde wigs! The queen bed has a brand new, super comfortable memory foam mattress, and a high-quality air mattress is available for additional guests.

The Bathroom: Backstage at the Grand Ole Opry
In the words of Dolly, "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap!" That's why we are giving you the backstage pass to this Dolly-themed bathroom to prep your own glamorous look. Complete with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, blowdryer, and a washer/dryer for guest use.

The Kitchen: In My Tennessee Mountain Home
You'll be transported back to Dolly's childhood cabin in this kitchen - complete with magazines as wallpaper, just like Dolly's mountain home. When you tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen, you'll be greeted by a complimentary supply of Keurig pods for fresh coffee. You will also find everything you need to whip up your home-cooked meals in the kitchen; a plentiful supply of spices, a microwave, and a stovetop are at your disposal. Dolly's official cookbook is on standby for some classic Southern comfort food recipes.

Great downtown location. Cute decor. Could use a few updates but nothing major. Wish we had known the yard & driveway were being rented as it was a little weird having people right outside your windows/doors but we made it work. Most time of the year I'm sure that wouldn't have been any issue.

Spacious, clean, and super charming! We were just a couple blocks away from everything downtown yet it was quiet with plenty of parking. We were very pleased with the cleanliness and the bed was super comfortable! We will definitely be back!

First impression was a big downer as the listing stated the property featured a double futon AND a double pull out sofa bed. Sadly this was not the case.

Literally, this short term rental is two doors down from the heart of it all! I was in Mt. Sterling for a state tourism meeting at the Gateway Regional Arts Center and it was the perfect location. While I was at my 9 to 5, I knew I would be coming back to Dolly Parton heaven at night! While traveling thru Mt. Sterling, I expected a great experience at the Dolly but it was above expectations. The communication was as clear as Dolly’s message to Jolene, the cleanliness was as pristine as a Coat of Many Colors, and overall was a perfect experience!

My husband, daughter, and I were visiting Kentucky to meet family. The booking process was easy and the owner was very nice to talk to through chat. The only things that are important to know 1) the house is literally smack-dab in the middle of two businesses, a funeral home and a counseling center. Then beside that, a check cashing place. We were a bit worried about what that might bring but we’re surprised that there wasn’t any sketchy. 2) there is no stove/oven. There is a double hot plate which is ok. But I didn’t realize it at first when looking at the pictures and reading the description. We ate out but had snacks for our 2 year old and we’re able to utilize the microwave. 3) if you’re like me and a boujee, leopard print lovin, Stanley cup toting mama, you’ll find the best little boutiques just down the street within walking distance. 4) if you forgot something that you need, Walmart is not far away. 5) this house is old. It’s not bad but it has creeky floors, old doors, and charm. Overall, it was a great experience and pleased with our accommodations.

Location to downtown Mt Sterling is perfect, quaint town with lots of shops. Main stay was for family visit over Thanksgiving so we didn't utilize the kitchen much, very basic. Pleasant accommodation with lots of interesting DOLLY artifacts!
