Dolly Parton fans can take their adoration of the country star to new levels after she transformed her tour bus into a hotel room named the Suite 1986 Tour Bus Experience.

The bus, which was effectively the singer’s home for almost twenty years, has been parked outside Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort and Spa in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and is packed with Dolly memorabilia. Guests are treated to a private concierge team, a bottle of Dolly’s perfume, Dolly-related food offerings, and even an additional room in the main hotel to fit four friends that weren’t lucky enough to grab one of the two bus spots.

The experience doesn’t come cheap, though. A minimum of two nights is required and will set guests back $10k, with portions of the cost donated to The Dollywood Foundation.

If the price tag is a little steep, visitors can still check out Dollywood or stay at one of her other hotels, including the new Heartsong Lodge that opens in the Fall.
