The Dolly House at The Retreat at Water's Edge

Get ready for sparkle, style, and Southern flair at The Dolly House—a dazzling lakeside escape celebrating Tennessee’s favorite icon. Just 75 minutes from Nashville and nestled along the water, this one-of-a-kind tiny home is packed with Dolly Parton memorabilia, including an autographed carpet square and a shoe worn on her 1987 Rainbow album cover.

Inside, glittering walls and glam accents make every room photo-ready. The master suite features its own private patio and en suite bathroom, while the screened deck boasts a hand-carved teal dining set and views of the lake.

Soak in the six-person lakeside hot tub, sunbathe on the private dock, or roast s’mores at the firepit ringed with hot pink Adirondack chairs. Whether you’re a Dolly fan or just craving a fabulously fun escape, this stay is pure Tennessee magic.

Great little getaway

Enjoyed our short getaway. The community area is tranquil. We felt safe, enjoyed walks around the neighborhood, birding and fun times at multiple concerts over the weekend nearby at The Caverns. The dolly house was cute, clean and stocked with plenty of supplies. The front and back porch seating areas and dolly memorabilia are a nice and fun touch to the place. The lakeside hot tub was so nice! With the cool autumn air after a long hike in nearby parks a hot soak in a jacuzzi was perfect. Great way to relax by the water!

Beautiful view and home.

We loved our stay at The Dolly House! Even through the 6ish hour power outage due to a storm. (If the power goes out during your stay, flip the breaker and the washing machine will work again.) The view, amenities, and decor are stunning. Peaceful, quiet atmosphere. Rent the kayaks. Buy the additional s’mores kit. Great family vacation memories made for this family of four with young adult children.

Simply Beautiful

Lakeside property with gorgeous views. The neighborhood is still under construction but we didn't hear any construction noise. The lot is spacious, as is the house. For it to be a tiny house, it didn't seem so tiny for our family. Cozy and well appointed with everything we needed to cook meals. There wasn't any laundry detergent so bring your own if you plan on doing laundry. We look forward to visiting this area again.

Family fun

My family and I truly enjoyed this little property. The house was adorable, and the fire pit and sun deck were extremely nice touches. My kids loved fishing and kayaking on the lake. My only wish was that the lake perimeter was trimmed of weeds to make it a little easier to access the lake but that’s literally my only suggestion. There’s many beautiful hikes in the area, and my family and I truly enjoyed our time there. We will definitely be back.
