DOLLY PARTON''S FORMER IDYLLWILD RETREAT — A HOME AS ICONIC AS THE LEGEND HERSELF — If walls could sing, this charming 3-story mountain retreat would be belting out a country classic. Recently owned by the one and only Dolly Parton, who cherished the charm of Idyllwild for many years, this three-story mountain retreat is as warm, inviting, and full of personality as the Queen of Country herself. Nearly everything inside remains just as Dolly left it, offering a rare chance to own a true piece of music history wrapped in woodsy mountain charm. Tucked away on a seasonal creek and just a short stroll to town, this private hideaway offers the perfect blend of peace and convenience. Locals still share fond memories of Dolly’s time in Idyllwild, where she was known for her kindness, humor, and down-to-earth spirit. Now, it’s ready for its next lucky owner to write their own chapter. Designed with mid-century chalet flair, the home features soaring wood-beamed ceilings, expansive windows, and a dramatic stone fireplace in a living room built around a massive granite boulder. The spacious deck is ideal for gathering, storytelling, or simply soaking in the peaceful mountain setting and the sounds of the creek. And because even a country queen needs modern comforts, this home has had a few fancy features to keep it shining bright: A newly installed “Presidential” luxury shingle roof for both style and durability, brand-new EV charging station because even mountain hideaways should be high-tech, independent heating and cooling zones for customized comfort on every level. As if Dolly’s magic wasn’t enough, this home also features custom sculpted gates by renowned artist Dore Capitani, whose stunning metalwork is displayed throughout Idyllwild. These one-of-a-kind gates are just a few of the unique touches. Dolly and her beloved mother were the last to occupy this home, leaving behind décor, collectibles, and furnishings, all included in the sale. Legend has it that the spacious loft—complete with three adorable built-in beds and sleeps five—was Dolly’s favorite place to write and play her music. With its celebrity pedigree, artistic details, and stunning location, this isn’t just a house—it’s a rare opportunity to own a legend’s mountain escape. Just like Dolly herself, it’s one of a kind, full of heart, and unforgettable. Don’t let this once-in-a-lifetime chance pass you by—schedule a private tour today!
