Fodor's Expert Review Fontanel
Greater Nashville
Forest
The Mansion at Fontanel is a 33,000-square-foot log cabin in Whites Creek, Tennessee, filled with country music memorabilia, instruments, and stories. It was once home to country music star Barbara Mandrell, and her glitzy taste is unmistakable throughout. (There’s even an indoor shooting range.) Guided tours of the mansion are offered daily, but that’s only the beginning. The Fontanel estate also includes the Natchez Hills Winery tasting room, Prichard’s rum and whiskey distillery, Café Fontanella, Adventureworks Zip Lines, a boutique hotel, more than 3 miles of wooded trails, and Vintage Creek, a clothing boutique and gift shop.
