Dolly Parton’s Tennessee Home Is as Glamorous as Her Outfits

Although Dolly Parton is a superstar for her classic country ballads, fashionable outfits, and glamorous wigs, her interior decorating choices are on a “if you know, you know” level. It’s been a few years since Parton shared previews of her Tennessee home on Instagram, but the minor decorative details are adored, leaving fans asking: What does the inside of Dolly Parton’s home look like? And exactly where does Dolly Parton live? 

Parton lives in a mansion in Brentwood, Tennessee, a suburb about 20 minutes from downtown Nashville. She and her husband, Carl Dean, who passed away in March 2025 after 60 years together, reportedly purchased their home in 1999 for $400,000. In a 2019 interview with The Mirror, Parton shared that the couple had a farm on their property, and Dean was “more than happy keeping the fields mowed, the barns painted, and working away on his farm equipment.”

If you’ve eyed the colorful wallpaper or decorated rooms throughout her residence, you know that Parton’s playful personality is scattered throughout her design choices. Parton’s loyal Instagram followers probably recognize her cute French bulldog, Billy the Kid and every cute corner in her home. Even though the singer has never officially done a home tour, there are three rooms in her home that stand out and might leave you with a little room inspo.

Spotted on the Rachael Ray Show, The Kitchn, and The View, Parton’s sparkly all-white kitchen is usually adorned with pink and red cookware and accessories. Although the kitchen is perfectly set for interviews and cooking collaborations, it looks like a fun environment for cooking and entertaining.

Parton’s magical discography is noticeable in her music room, and it’s intricately designed to reflect that (especially the black piano). Between the floral curtains and patterned wallpaper, it’s hard to choose the best Dolly-approved detail in this room. And, of course, she has a collection of framed photos on her side table.

In the back of a video posted on Parton’s Instagram in March 2020, viewers can get a glimpse of her lemon-colored entryway that leads into the rest of her home. With Parton’s bright personality, it’s not a surprise that she chose a bright shade of yellow to welcome guests into her home. 

If you’ve ever been to Dollywood — the Dolly Parton theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee — you’ll know that there’s a replica of the two-bedroom childhood home Parton grew up in. The log cabin didn’t have running water or electricity, and was the home to her and her 11 siblings. Her brother built the cabin, and her mom took care of decorating the interior, Business Insider reports.


“We didn’t have any money, but we were rich in things that money don’t buy. You know, like love and kindness and understanding,” Parton told Today about her upbringing in 2015. You can visit the cabin by visiting the theme park.
