Whether you’re a die-hard fan of Dolly, the Man in Black, or the Red Headed Stranger, the good ol’ U.S. of A. is loaded with vacation rentals that are sure to please.
Vacation season is underway and more than half of families in the country are expected to take a trip this summer. While many will head overseas or take a cruise, TransUnion reports that roughly 75% of traveling families will opt for road trips to destinations within a reasonable driving distance.
With the increasing cost of hotel accommodations, many travelers are choosing the comfort and convenience of vacation rental properties. For some families, not just any vacation rental will do. For country music fans looking for a unique experience, genre-themed homes inspired by some of their favorite artists make for a vacation to remember.
We’ve rounded up 11 country music-inspired Airbnbs that range from quirky to classy and everything in between. Some are former homes of some of the genre’s biggest stars, while others are simply inspired by their style. From Charley Pride’s former Montana home to an Elvis-inspired retreat with a massive guitar-shaped swimming pool, there’s something for everyone. Check out the list below.
1. STARDUST INN
PRICE: $500 to $700/night, plus taxes and fees.
Willie Nelson fans will want to settle into this stunning home in Dripping Springs, Texas, named after Nelson’s 1978 album, Stardust. Guests are welcomed to the property with a massive outdoor mural of the Red-Headed Stranger and are treated to artwork featuring the singer throughout the home.

3. Johnny Cash’s Historic Ranch

The home’s new owners painstakingly restored the property while maintaining the integrity of the design Johnny and Vivian meticulously planned when building the home for their growing family. With over 5,000 square feet of living space, there is plenty of room for up to 14 guests to spread out and bask in the Johnny Cash experience.

4. Hank Snow’s Ranch
PRICE: $115/night, plus taxes and fees.
Perhaps one of the most unique vacation rentals we found, the Rainbow Ranch is where Country Music Hall of Famer Hank Snow called home for 44 years until his death in 1999. The Nashville-area property looks much like it did when the “I’ve Been Everywhere” singer occupied it. From the wood paneling and lighting to the drapery and Hank’s stereo, visitors will feel like they are guests of Snow himself.
The listing for this rental boasts a piano played by Hank and some of his many guests, including Marty Robbins and Elvis Presley.

5. Charley Pride’s Place

Charley Pride called Montana home for a decade prior to becoming a groundbreaking country star. The “Kiss An Angel Good Mornin'” singer landed in Big Sky Country in the pursuit of a professional baseball career. He eventually started playing gigs around the state and built this beautiful home in Great Falls, Montana, in the late ’60s.
The six-bedroom, 2-bath home has been updated, but the new owners have included subtle nods to the Country Music Hall of Famer throughout.

8. Miranda in the Hill Country
PRICE: $275/night, plus taxes and fees.
Unlike many of the other vacation rentals on this list, Miranda in the Hill Country was never owned or occupied by Miranda Lambert. The only thing Lambert and this “baby barndominium” have in common is that they are both from Texas.
Located in Johnson City, in the heart of Hill Country, this 2-bedroom space is one of four casitas owned by Hill Country Wine Tours. In the spirit of the “White Liar” singer, Miranda in the Hill Country features a painting of the singer and Texas-inspired decor.
