Wonderful tour at the Fontanel Mansion. Our guide was a singer herself and told interesting stories of the Mandrell family.

Why has this guy not been picked up for a show or by a record company. Come on The Mandrells, help him out!!!

We had several hours to kill before our departure from Nashville, so we opted for a visit to Fontanel and the time spent was well worth it. Its a beautiful home nestled in a valley just a short drive from downtown Nashville. Seriously, it only took us 20 minutes to drive from Fontanel to the airport (without speeding). The home... More

The tour was made extra special when Barbara Mandrell's daughter and sister took the time to talk to us while we were in the house. Vance was an exceptional tour guide; not only did he make us feel at home during the tour, he made us feel like friends when the tour was over. A must do when in Nashville.

Very enjoyable tour given by our guide Vance. Not only did we get to see and touch items in the home, we were also entertained by Vance at the piano and got to meet Barbara Mandrell's sister and daughter.

Be sure to stop by for a relaxing, hands on tour. That's right--you can take... More

Our tour guide, whose performing name is Amy Dean, was enthusiastic, well informed, and a good singer. She accommodated everyone's interests along the way, answering questions and sharing little anecdotes that made learning the history of Fontanel really interesting. She belted out a song she wrote to get into the country swing of things. The grounds were a little disheveled... More

Our visit to Fontanel was great. Our tour guide, Steve Whitson was so much fun and shared an amazing amount of info about Barbara Mandrell and her family. He also sang for us while we roamed around the great room. Although the mansion is hugh it has a very homey feel and you are allowed to touch almost everything in... More
