About this property

Trolley Parton-Vintage TN Trolley Retreat. Dolly-Inspired

❤️ FALL SPECIAL: Stay 2 nights, get your 3rd night FREE! 🚎 TROLLEY PARTON

Meet Trolley Parton.

A retired vintage trolley, rescued from its former life and brought 100 miles to five acres of Tennessee woodland and pasture, this little piece of history has been given a second life—and a whole lot of love.

We spent two years transforming the old girl into an intimate retreat while keeping her original character intact.

And because no Tennessee treasure could live here without a little Dolly, you’ll find thoughtful, unexpected touches throughout that pay homage to the Queen herself.

✨ THE TROLLEY

The original powered trolley door is your entrance.

Inside, vintage character meets modern comfort, with color, texture and details chosen to make the space feel collected rather than manufactured.

There’s a queen bed, a cozy living area, a small library, a wine fridge, Keurig, tea, and honey.

You’ll also find a record player and classic vinyl—because a vintage trolley deserves a soundtrack.

🛁 SLOW DOWN

At the back of the trolley is your bedroom suite with a deep sitting tub, robes, bath salts and everything you need to settle in.

There’s also a dedicated Zen space for meditation, reading or simply checking out for a while.

Trolley Parton was created for rest and renewal.

🌲 OUTSIDE

Step onto your sprawling 400-square-foot deck overlooking the rolling pasture and surrounding woods.

Relax in the outdoor furniture, gather around the Solo Stove, watch a movie on the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth projector or simply listen to the sounds of the property.

Deer wander through. Birds are everywhere. Wildflowers change with the seasons.

💕 A LITTLE DOLLY

Dolly isn’t a theme here. She’s an inspiration.

You’ll find unique pieces throughout the trolley that celebrate Tennessee’s own Queen and the qualities we admire most: kindness, generosity, resilience and a big heart.

If only the world could be a little more like Dolly, we’d be alright.

🌊 EXPLORE

Trolley Parton is in rural Doyle, about six miles from Sparta and close to some of Tennessee’s best waterfalls and outdoor adventures.

Rock Island State Park is about 10 minutes away, with Fall Creek Falls and Cummins Falls within an easy drive.

🐾 BRING YOUR PUP

Well-behaved pets are welcome. Please check with us if you’re traveling with more than two.

Two guests maximum.

❤️ COME ABOARD

If you’re looking for a stay with history, personality, peace and a little Tennessee sparkle, choose your dates and climb aboard.

Trolley Parton isn’t just a place to stay. She’s a story with a second life.

This is such a fun property! We loved every thoughtful detail and the bed is extremely comfortable. The operational entry doors are so much fun, and so much thought went into every aspect of the trolley! The hosts are so attentive and provide wonderful nearby suggestions. Don't miss out on the pizza place in Sparta...it's amazing! Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!!!

This is an absolute 10/10 host and property! They are probably the best hosts we have ever had with VRBO, and the Trolley Parton was truly a one-of-kind experience. The pictures of it are great, but they still don’t do it justice. The hosts were extremely responsive and provided so much helpful information about the area. You can tell that they truly care. We HIGHLY recommend staying in one of their properties if you get the chance.

This trolley car was a perfectly curated blend of Dolly Parton meets the house from "Charmed". The bed was comfortable, the bathtub excellent, and the ambiance top notch. This is the perfect stay for a getaway and is close to many state parks. I look forward to booking it again in the future.

We absolutely loved our lil getaway to Trolley Parton! It was a surprise to my wife so she had no idea where we were staying. As soon as we pulled up she fell in love! She loved it even more as we walked around to the deck and went inside. Everything was clean and well maintained. Plenty of wood available for our nighttime fires. The hosts were very prompt in responding to any questions we had and we even got the chance to meet them, very nice ladies! Would definitely stay at the Trolley again, or even the Tree House, if we ever decide to go searching for waterfalls in that area again!
