Loretta Lynn Ranch & Campground

While Loretta Lynn's stores and museums were not open when I visited, I still thoroughly enjoyed driving through the campus and taking some photos of the scenery and buildings. Rice Cemetery was lovely as well.

Well, I can't give this a real review because I only saw the outside. We made a detour for it specially. There's her mansion, a replica of the house she grew up in, a museum, one or two other things. But you can't see ANYTHING unless you pay for the full guided tour of the whole thing. You can't even just pay and go on your own and explore the museum. All or nothing. So, we didn't have time for everything, so couldn't do anything. Pretty annoying. So unless you are planning on spending about 1 1/2 -2 hours, don't bother with this place. We left. Disappointing.

I'm not a huge fan, but have liked her since she recorded "Coal Miners daughter" in the 60's. She's famous enough that I'd wanted to see her 'place' for some time, since it's so close to Nashville and Memphis, easily accessible off I40. Took that opportunity today, and it was nice. No Graceland, mind you, but impressive nonetheless. The replica of her Kentucky childhood home was interesting not only for the obvious poverty (though I differ with the tour guide - this isn't just an Appalachian picture, but common to rural poor in many states), but also the details leftover from the movie. The mansion was impressive, with items from her career, and also some reminders of the movie shot in some rooms.

I had the time of my life at Loretta Lynn's Ranch. I'm a HUGE fan of hers and this was a present from my dear aunt upon her passing. My husband is now a Loretta fan as much as I am, country music isn't even his style but I brought him over to the right side :) I got to meet Ernest Ray Sr, he was the friendliest and most down to earth person, "If it wasn't for y'all fans we wouldn't have the life we do." They are amazing, I'd like to think I'm an honorary Lynn.

We had other plans on our trip across Tennessee but the weather did not cooperate. We saw a billboard for Loretta Lynn's Ranch and thought, why not? We are so glad we did! A true rags to riches story of a woman who never forgot her roots. We felt that the tour was worth it, because we saw the recreation of her original family home, the home she and Mooney raised their children in later, and the huge museum. Most of the staff we spoke with had stories about her, and some are part of the family. The information on the tour about the area and history of the family was very interesting to us. The museum of her dresses, family pictures, music and other items was fun, and there are hand written notes by Loretta on some of the displays. The extra stores that they have by the museum (western store, kitchen store in the old mill, and boutique) had fun items at reasonable prices. There is a campground there as well, and we think it would be a fun place to spend some time in the outdoors. We also stopped at the general store which is on the road across from the ranch entrance, and had a great conversation with them besides eating a delicious fried bologna sandwich! I think it's a fun stop for anyone who recognizes Loretta Lynn's name.

Loved Loretta's place .. it's beautiful and loved the store .. friendly staff which we appreciate it .. thank you

Great stop off the Tennessee River Trail.They have camping, old town, the old Mill and her original Ranch House and the museum. Lots to see and the prices were fair. So much to see. Great stop "if you remember the Iconic Loretta Lynn Country Singer.

I would not go back. There is no cell phone or satellite reception. We came in on a Sunday and the tour to the house is closed on Monday and Tuesday.

It's a nice place to visit but the cabin was overpriced and had no dresser, closet or dishes. And you have to pay for wifi that is anywhere from $10 to $35 PER DEVICE. With the price of the cabin being so high the wifi should be included. But the people are very nice.

My sister and I rented a cabin here. It had black bugs all over the bed and it smells really bad with a smell they use to cover up other odors. The cabin was dangerous to walk up the stairs. No ventilation upstairs and we ended up having to go to a hotel down the street since we couldn't breathe in there. There is a reason why they don't give refunds. Because this place sucks.
