Doralee by AvantStay | 8 Minute Drive to Broadway, Dolly Parton Themed
★ Recognized as one of our best. This home was a finalist in the 2025 AvantStay Awards, our annual celebration of top-tier stays.
Pour yourself a cup of ambition at Doralee – a multi-story group retreat named after Dolly Parton's character in "9 to 5." Just a stone's throw from Downtown and Music Row, this escape invites you into a world of country elegance and contemporary comfort.
Sink into the plush sofa in the bright living room and catch up on your favorites on the flatscreen TV. Hats hanging on the wall add a touch of Nashville charm, while playful lighting and unique wall decor throughout the dining area and kitchen create a cheery ambiance across the entire common area. The dining area, with seating for six, seamlessly blends with a gourmet chef's kitchen, where culinary delights await.
Let the rhythm of the city guide your nights in three beautiful bedrooms (one king, one queen bed, one with two full beds). Two of the bedrooms boast ensuite bathrooms for an extra touch of privacy.
Ascend to the crown jewel – the rooftop terrace. This is your private stage for unforgettable moments. Bask in the sun on loungers, sizzle up delights on the BBQ grill, gather around the firepit table, or dine al fresco under the pavilion. Doralee – where Nashville's beat meets Dolly's melody, creating a symphony of memories that linger long after the music fades. Your country retreat awaits – book your spot in the heart of the action now!
AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!
Vibrant nightlife, country music, and an over-the-top culinary scene? It’s true and it’s no wonder people rave about "Nashvegas" as a top spot for simply having a good time. Bar hop down Broadway street to dance to live music at multi-level bars serving up BBQ, or do like the vintage-clad locals do and lay back in East Nashville. You might pass party bikes on your drive-in, so make sure to cheer them on because having fun is part of the culture in Music City!

Great Location
It was only a few miles from downtown Nashville, but close the interstate so we could readily get to wherever we wanted to go in that whole region. The bedrooms were on separate floors, each with their own bath: we were all very comfortable. The kitchen and dining and living area were perfect for a relaxing stay with a large family. The rooftop and the other balcony were unique and cool places to hang out. We would stay there again without any hesitation.

Wonderful Spring Break
We had a wonderful 4 nights at Dora Lee. The check in process was good. The AvantStay employees were very quick to respond. When we go there we were unable to get the keypad to work to open the garage. I had to go in through the front door and open the garage from the inside. I contacted them and they tried to help, but we still couldn't get it to work. They said they would have a maintenance person come the next day to check on it, but they never did. We just spent the rest of the time going through the front door and opening from the inside. It really wasn't a big deal. Definitely be ready to climb lots of stairs. There are a lot! The amenities were wonderful. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils. The only thing that was lacking was washcloths, so we just used one from the extra bathroom. We had a wonderful time on the roof. The grill worked great and we really enjoyed sitting around the propane fire table. Everything was clean and tidy. The only part that was unsightly was the alley to the side of the building, where you pull in to the garage. There were garbage bins overflowing and cans and bottles on the ground. Again, not a big deal, just a little unsightly. The location was absolutely perfect. We were only about a 3 minute drive from 12 South where there are great restaurants and shopping. We went down to Broadway for two afternoons, and it was easy to get an Uber and only about a 5 minute drive downtown. Overall we had a fantastic trip and would stay again!
