Great location

Great downtown location. Cute decor. Could use a few updates but nothing major. Wish we had known the yard & driveway were being rented as it was a little weird having people right outside your windows/doors but we made it work. Most time of the year I'm sure that wouldn't have been any issue.

Charming!

Spacious, clean, and super charming! We were just a couple blocks away from everything downtown yet it was quiet with plenty of parking. We were very pleased with the cleanliness and the bed was super comfortable! We will definitely be back!

Dolly Property Mt Sterling

First impression was a big downer as the listing stated the property featured a double futon AND a double pull out sofa bed. Sadly this was not the case.

Two Doors Down from the Heart of it All

Literally, this short term rental is two doors down from the heart of it all! I was in Mt. Sterling for a state tourism meeting at the Gateway Regional Arts Center and it was the perfect location. While I was at my 9 to 5, I knew I would be coming back to Dolly Parton heaven at night! While traveling thru Mt. Sterling, I expected a great experience at the Dolly but it was above expectations. The communication was as clear as Dolly’s message to Jolene, the cleanliness was as pristine as a Coat of Many Colors, and overall was a perfect experience!

Great location for downtown boutique shopping!

My husband, daughter, and I were visiting Kentucky to meet family. The booking process was easy and the owner was very nice to talk to through chat. The only things that are important to know 1) the house is literally smack-dab in the middle of two businesses, a funeral home and a counseling center. Then beside that, a check cashing place. We were a bit worried about what that might bring but we’re surprised that there wasn’t any sketchy. 2) there is no stove/oven. There is a double hot plate which is ok. But I didn’t realize it at first when looking at the pictures and reading the description. We ate out but had snacks for our 2 year old and we’re able to utilize the microwave. 3) if you’re like me and a boujee, leopard print lovin, Stanley cup toting mama, you’ll find the best little boutiques just down the street within walking distance. 4) if you forgot something that you need, Walmart is not far away. 5) this house is old. It’s not bad but it has creeky floors, old doors, and charm. Overall, it was a great experience and pleased with our accommodations.

Dolly Galore!

Location to downtown Mt Sterling is perfect, quaint town with lots of shops. Main stay was for family visit over Thanksgiving so we didn't utilize the kitchen much, very basic. Pleasant accommodation with lots of interesting DOLLY artifacts!
