Dolly Parton on Opening a Hotel Inspired by the Nature of the Great Smoky Mountains

"HeartSong Lodge & Resort, newly opened in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, is a tribute to the Great Smoky Mountains and Dolly Parton's childhood. The hotel features a four-story stone fireplace, monarch butterfly-shaped trusses, and sound machines that play soothing natural sounds. Guest rooms draw inspiration from the local fauna and flora, and many offer balconies with views of the wooded hills. The lodge also includes personal touches from Parton's life, such as her portrait and personal treasures displayed in the Acoustic Lobby."
