Dollywood’s newest resort is ready to welcome its first guests. Reservations for HeartSong Lodge & Resort open June 26, with the earliest date guests can stay being Nov. 3.

Inspired by Dolly Parton’s love for the Great Smoky Mountains, the 302-room resort in Pigeon Forge is a family getaway that embraces the outdoors. It features spacious themed suites, sweeping views of the property and landscape, pools, a music room, a grab-and-go market, a mercantile store for keepsakes and, of course, easy access to Dollywood and other park attractions.

“To know we’re just a few short months away from welcoming our first guests to this magnificent new property is really exciting,” Eugene Naughton, Dollywood Parks & Resorts president, said in a press release. “I believe everyone is going to be in awe as soon as they walk through the front doors. The hardest decision for our guests probably is going to be trying to decide which of our world-class resorts to stay at next!”

HeartSong Lodge is the second Dollywood resort and is part of the company’s larger half a billion-dollar dream to expand its parks and resorts into a yearlong destination for family vacations. Another resort is expected to open in 2027, Knox News reported last year.
