A couple turned a Nashville home into a Dolly Parton-inspired Airbnb for bachelorette parties. Take a look inside.

• Christina and Jordan Ledger own an Airbnb in Nashville, Tennessee.

• They decorated the house to be inspired by Nashville stars like Dolly Parton and Taylor Swift.

• It features a custom mural, themed wallpaper, neon signs, and a beauty bar.

Christina and Jordan Ledger were looking for a creative outlet when they purchased their first rental property in 2022.

Christina, 37, and Jordan, 39, are based in Chicago, Illinois, and as Christina told Insider, they don't get to express themselves often in their 9-to-5 gigs.

"My husband is in the dental industry, and I'm in technology PR, so on paper, we are boring," she said through laughter.

In the summer of 2022, they wanted to add something more creative to their lives, so the Ledgers decided to buy a rental property in Nashville, Tennessee, that they could list on Airbnb.

"This is a fun thing for us to be creative and not just stare at a 401(k) all day," Christina said. "We were excited about taking that money and doing something else with it that we could be excited about every day."

They bought the home furnished, but Christina knew she wanted to add a personal touch to the space at some point. They also bought two other properties in Arizona.

After nine months of ownership, Christina decided to turn the home into a whimsical bachelorette-party destination.

Christina said the house, which sleeps 12 people across four bedrooms, had a boho-chic feel when they bought it, which didn't feel quite right to her.

"It just felt very disconnected to Nashville," she said, particularly because Nashville is the home of country music — and a go-to destination for bachelorette parties.

To make the house fit the city, Christina decided to work with Bri West and Jordan Mcdonough of Somerled Designs, who specialize in rental properties, to revamp the space.

"From bachelorette parties to 40th birthdays to divorce parties, it's just a really feminine, fun spot to kick back with your friends," she said of how she wanted the space to feel.

Named The Dolly Den, Christina pulled inspiration from musicians for the house.

Christina thought she could find a niche in the rental market by ensuring every part of her property fit the vision.

"I did a lot of research before thinking about moving forward and looked at a lot of properties that did similar things, and I felt like a lot of them were like 60% there," she told Insider. "They started something awesome and then some rooms were boring or they could have pushed it a little bit more."

Christina and the Somerled Designs team took a maximalist approach with the design of The Dolly Den, pulling inspiration from some of Nashville's legendary female stars for the aesthetic.

The home gets its name from the colorful living room, which features a multicolored wall mural made by Katie Tyler. A neon sign that says "Hello Dolly" sits atop the mural, bringing even more color into the space.

The statement wallpaper also incorporated Dolly Parton.

The wallpaper featured a mosaic of photos of Dolly Parton in a pop-art style, creating a festive feel.

It also acted as inspiration for the colors of the rest of the room, which includes a pink couch, a blue checkered rug, and fun-shaped pillows.

The space also includes a nod to Christina and Jordan's dog.

The homeowners have a wiener dog, and they wanted to incorporate a nod to their furry friend in the house.

They placed a gold figurine in the house, and Christina hopes to put nods to their dog in their other properties.

The kitchen subtly nods to the song (and movie) "Breakfast At Tiffany's."

The kitchen is the simplest room of The Dolly Den, even though it's still colorful.

Christina decided to paint the lower cabinets blue, much like Tiffany & Co.'s signature blue boxes, dubbing it "Breakfast At Tiffany's."

Three of the home's four bedrooms honor a specific Nashville star.

For instance, Christina called one bedroom the "Love Story" room, and it pays tribute to Taylor Swift and her album "Lover."

The wall above the bed and the ceiling are painted like a sky at sunset in the same style as the artwork on the album cover. There is also a neon sign that reads "Lover" above the bed, and it's accented by floral lamps on each nightstand.

"Taylor Swift is just a gift to us all," Christina told Insider.

"The room is just timely fun," she added, speaking of Swift's Eras Tour.

Another bedroom nods to Carrie Underwood with its "Cowgirl Casanova" theme.

One of Underwood's hit songs is "Cowboy Casanova," and Christina put a spin on the tune to fit the feminine vibe of the house.

A hot-pink, neon sign that reads "Cowgirl Casanova" sits on the mirror, so guests can see it while they primp.

Christina told Insider the Underwood-inspired room is her favorite in the house.

Christina said she particularly loves the multicolored prints of cowboy boots that cover the wall above the bed.

She found the prints online, and she decided an assortment of them would fit her vision for the room.

"I like a room to feel busy but not messy," she said. "I don't like a lot of dead space, so I just wanted this whole wall covered in these prints."

"You've got all the different color cowboy boots, and it's just a busy, cool room to me," she added.

There's also a "space cowgirl"-inspired room.

The room, which features a queen-sized bed, is full of shades of blue and purple, coordinating with a "space cowgirl" print.

The "Music Row Mash-Up" room pays tribute to Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus.

"My most creative one, I would definitely say, is the Miley-Dolly mash-up bunk room," Christina said of the bedrooms in the house.

Christina wanted the space to combine Parton and Cyrus' aesthetic, as Parton is Cyrus' godmother and the duo have performed together on multiple occasions.

The room has a black-and-white color palette, leaning into the performers' rock-and-roll edge.

The room also includes an additional vanity.

Because Christina expects bachelorette parties to rent the home, she anticipates guests may struggle with counter space when they're getting ready to go out, though the home does have 3.5 bathrooms.

To make things easier for her guests, Christina and the Somerled Designs team added a vanity to the "Mash-Up" room, creating additional primping areas.

A black, floral wallpaper covers the wall the vanity sits against, making it even cuter.

The rooftop patio that sits off the "Mash-Up" room is also decorated in the same vein as the rest of the house.

Christina told Insider that the Somerled Designs team helped her to incorporate "Instagrammable moments" onto the roof, particularly the pink neon sign that says "Let's Go Girls," nodding to Shania Twain's "Man! I Feel Like a Woman."

The vanity in the "Mash-Up" room also sits right inside the patio door, which Christina said was intentional.

"Some of my favorite moments when I think of trips with my girlfriends are when someone's taking forever to get ready and you're hanging out on the patio having a cocktail," she said. "The getting-ready station is right by those doors, so people can have that kind of in-and-out vibe."

Even the bathrooms in The Dolly Den are colorful.

Christina wanted every room in the house to feel fun and whimsical, even the bathrooms, but she said the Somerled Design team ensured her big ideas would actually work.

For instance, she said she wanted to add colorful paint inside of the shower, but the team pointed out that could cause water damage.

"I can come at them with ideas to kingdom come, but they're really good about being like, 'We should scale back because that's not gonna bring you an ROI,'" Christina said.

Christina also decided to turn the garage into an additional lounge space.

Christina decided to transform The Dolly Den's garage because she believes her guests will make use of a fun room more than they would an actual garage, as many people don't bother renting cars when they travel to Nashville.

Now, the "Cowgirl Disco She Shed," as Christina calls it, features a ping-pong table, fun prints, a disco ball, and sparkly backdrops for photos.

The entrance to the house sits off of the converted garage, so the photo area is ideal for guests to quickly pose together before they head out into Nashville.

Christina told Insider that the transformation has made her property more popular.

The Dolly Den's redesign only took place a few months ago, but Christina said she's already seen an uptick in reservations since the project and has received "awesome feedback" from guests on the home's aesthetic.

As of Saturday, The Dolly Den sleeps 12 and costs $625 per night before fees, which would be $52 per guest. You can see the full listing here.
