Dolly Parton's HeartSong Lodge & Resort: A Mountain Retreat in Tennessee

Dolly Parton has opened her second resort hotel, HeartSong Lodge & Resort, connected to the Dollywood amusement park complex in Tennessee's Smoky Mountains. The 302-room lodge features a "high-fashion rustic" aesthetic and pays tribute to Parton's rural Tennessee roots. The resort offers amenities such as Camp DW kids' crafts, outdoor and indoor pools, evening singalongs, and multiple dining options. Parton's impact on the state's tourism industry is significant, with Dollywood attracting over three million visitors in 2021. Plans for more Dollywood resorts and attractions are in the works, including a Dolly Parton Experience set to open in 2024.
