Fontanel is the largest log cabin in the world at 27,000 sq. ft. It was originally owned by Barbara Mandrell and her husband. They designed it and had it built in Montana. After tearing it down, they flew all the lumber to Nashville and rebuilt it. Money!! I am obsessed with log cabins. I hope to own one someday and this one was amazing! It is currently owned by 2 country music producers. They are making bank selling tours! Oh, and just a warning, I could NOT stop taking pictures.
The formal dining room.
This balcony looks over the great room. Our house could fit into this room! Barbara and her husband renewed their vows here and its now open to the general public for weddings. I told Jason I really want to renew our vows there!
The ceilings are so tall in this room, Barbara's daughter would hold her cheer leading practice there.
This room is my favorite. It holds the indoor swimming pool.
On Saturday evening they were set up for a wedding reception. The pool is covered with glass. It was like walking on water!
Doesn't everyone have a formal family photo?!
Barbaras bathroom.
Her bedroom.
Since the record producers now own the mansion, they lined the hallway with gold and platinum albums from the artists. Alabama, Kenny Chesney, and Gretchen Wilson are just a few.
Barbaras daughter set up her room almost exactly how it was when she was a teenager. This was the dress Barbara was wearing the night before she delivered her daughter. If you look closely at the picture you can barely tell she's pregnant!
Please notice Jason looking at me like enough with the pictures already!
Their bonus room.
It even has booths like at a soda shop.
