Overview

Description

A Songwriter's Paradise A rare Smoky Mountain retreat steeped in country music history and family legacy This one-of-a-kind home was once the longtime residence of legendary songwriter Floyd Parton, brother of Dolly Parton and the writer behind the classic ''Rockin' Years,'' made famous as a duet by Dolly and Ricky Van Shelton.

Look closely and you'll find quiet celebrations of that legacy throughout: the handcrafted wooden staircase carved with the names of Floyd's hit songs, and the distinctive wooden fixture above the kitchen table sourced from Locust Ridge where each jar represents one of the Parton siblings and their enduring bond.
