Dolly Parton\u2019s Former Mountain Retreat Is Up For Sale Again<\/h2>\n

You could own a peaceful mountain getaway once frequented by Dolly Parton and her late husband, Carl Dean. Parton gifted the property, located in Idyllwild, CA, to the Ronald McDonald House charity in November 2023.<\/p>\n

The 1,800 sq ft home has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms and sits on a petite quarter-acre heavily wooded lot. Described as having a \u201cmid-century chalet flair,\u201d the cabin features wood-beamed ceilings, large windows, and a stately stone fireplace built around a large granite boulder.<\/p>\n

The non-profit sold the house in July 2024 for $585,000. Just eight months later, it is back on the market with a listing price of $768,000. Parton is believed to have purchased the property in December 1994 for just $126,000.<\/p>\n

Located 100 miles east of Los Angeles, the quaint mountain town provided a sanctuary for the country music superstar and her reclusive husband to enjoy time away from the public eye.<\/p>\n

The Home Remains Mostly \u201cJust As Dolly Left It\u201d<\/h2>\n

According to\u00a0the listing,\u00a0held by Tiffany Raridon of Elevated Properties, the country music legend left behind decor, collectibles, and furnishings, all of which are included in the sale. It boasts:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf 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.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the listing photos, one particularly special memento can be seen\u00a0on the dining table\u2014a handpainted tea set with a note that reads: \u201cTo Dolly, From Steve, Merry Christmas\u20142002<\/em>.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

A Few Modern Upgrades Have Been Added To The Property<\/h2>\n

In the short time since the previous sale, a handful of upgrades have been added to Dolly Parton\u2019s former cabin. A Presidential luxury shingle roof has been installed, and the home has been outfitted with customizable cooling and heating zones on each of the three floors.<\/p>\n

An EV charging station was also added, largely due the home\u2019s remote location.<\/p>\n

Beyond the tea set, various knickknacks, collectible plates, and framed artwork decorate the cabin\u2019s wood-paneled rooms. A signed photo of Dolly in her youth hangs on a wall, and in the bathroom, a guitar-shaped toilet seat further honors her musical career. The home features multiple fireplaces, adding coziness to the 1,800-square-foot space. The listing also notes the home\u2019s midcentury chalet flair, with soaring wood-beamed ceilings, expansive windows, and a dramatic stone fireplace built around a massive granite boulder.<\/p>\n

Dolly and her late mother were the last to occupy the cabin, leaving behind a treasure trove of decor, collectibles, and furnishings that are included in the sale. The spacious loft, said to be Dolly\u2019s favorite spot to write and play music, adds a poignant connection to the legendary singer\u2019s personal history with the home.<\/p>\n

Although the property is now brimming with Dolly\u2019s influence, the cabin\u2019s ownership remained a secret for many years, only being revealed when it was sold in 2024. Built in 1996, the cabin was purchased by Parton in 1994 for $126,000, a far cry from her expansive Tennessee estate. The couple enjoyed a quiet, private life at their Tennessee home, Willow Lake Plantation, where they lived for many years, away from the public eye.<\/p>\n

Dolly and Carl Dean\u2019s love story began when they met outside the Wishy Washy Laundromat on the day Dolly moved to Nashville at age 18. They married two years later in a private ceremony in Ringgold, Georgia, choosing to live a low-key life. Their marriage remained deeply personal, far from the Hollywood spotlight, with Carl opting for privacy despite Dolly\u2019s immense fame.<\/p>\n

The Idyllwild cabin\u2019s sale offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Dolly Parton\u2019s legacy, and the home is sure to be treasured by its next owner.<\/p>\n
