Great to walk through this trophy house of old Nashville royalty. You have to wonder the thought process that went into building this place...and what went on behinds these walls. Take a ride out for the look

This is a "don't miss" stop. I thought it was a little pricy to see a house, but after the tour was very pleased. From grinandbrakeit.com

Learned a lot about the Mandrel family and the Nashville music community. Beautiful home, HUGE. Tour nicely done and you get a song from the tour guide. They also have zip lining and other activities including what looks like a nice restaurant. Check it out if you have the time and want to get away from the crowds.

I always enjoy touring homes that celebrities have lived in and the Fontanel is no exception. It was great to see this beautiful log cabin way up on the hill and enjoy the grounds there. The walking trails are awesome and if you are an avid Frisbee golf player this is the place for you. They also have events there... More

Steven was a very enthusiastic guide around this mansion which was quite impressively huge. The only hassles we experienced were hotel staff and taxi companies not having any knowledge of its whereabouts!!!! We had a 1 1/2 hour wait for an ordered cab to find us after the tour! I would recommend some PR work to be done by the... More

You purchase tickets at the gift shop, they were ridiculously disorganized. After that you board a shuttle to the home. Our guides were two women, one was being trained, and they were just okay. Fortunately the daughter of Barbara Mandrell joined the tour at the soda fountain and went through most of the house with us. She added a personal... More

My family and I went on a tour of the Fontanel today and it was an experience I will never forget. I have been a fan if Barbara Mandrell since I was three years old and I have wanted to tour the Fontanel for a long time. Our guide was exceptional (Steven Whitman) and the tour itself exceeded every expectation.... More

This former home of Barbara Mandrell was beautiful!! Took lots of pictures. Our tour guide was great. Told some very interesting stories and even sang at the end of our tour. The best part was the fact that they let you try the instruments, sit on the furniture and can literally touch just about anything in the house. The indoor... More
