See inside a Craigslist RV turned Dolly Parton-themed Airbnb
$99 a night before taxes and fees.“My daughter said, ‘You know what, mom, what do you think about giving a big, giant, beautiful nod to our local queen, miss Dolly Parton?’ And I’m like, ‘Brilliant,'” Adrienne Smith told Insider of the inspiration to turn a 20-foot camper bought for $2,500 off Craigslist into a tribute to the music icon.Adrienne, her husband Dean and their daughter, Tayler, purchased the RV three years ago and subsequently invested some $20,000 turning it into a “not too kitschy, but a little kitschy” livable celebration of the “Jolene” singer. “She inspires us to do better for ourselves, and we take proceeds off of [the RV] annually and donate to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library,” Adrienne added to Insider. Where the Smiths live in Maryville, Tennessee — an hour from Dollywood — Parton isn’t just a nationally beloved entertainer, Adrienne explained to the publication, but a “local hero.” In building their short-term rental shrine, they incorporated both Parton’s image and aesthetic, commissioning tattoo artist Mira Mariah to create a Dolly mural on the vehicle’s exterior and filling the interior with various usable Parton tchotchkes.
