Top Dark Island Swinging Bridge Hotel Reviews

Tremont Lodge & Resort

8/10 Good

"Rooms were dated but clean. If you get second floor be ready to carry your belongings up stairs. Parking is the real problem here. If you go at busy times you may be parking completely on the other side of the campus from where your room is. Not a good feeling."

The Parkman - Great Smoky Mountains

8/10 Good

"Great location, great staff."

Townsend Gateway Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had a suite with 2 bedrooms and a living room. It was easy to check in and conveniently located close to Cades Cove. Riverside Restaurant was close by as well and had an excellent breakfast. We will definitely come back! Thank you!"

Townsend River Breeze Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Got there and checked it and everything went smooth. Got a key yes a real key and it inside was clean and bed was very comfortable . Same for bathroom. There was a balcony over looking the foothills too. Beautiful area. Will be back!"

Creekside 2 Bedroom Cabin by RedAwning

10/10 Excellent

"This place was perfect for our trip. It’s located close to everything the area has to offer. We didn’t have more than a 45 minute drive to get to anything. The place is simple, in a good way. It has everything you need and nothing you don’t. The best part is the back deck over the mountain creek. It was very relaxing to sit out there and listen to the water. We spent most of our time at the cabin enjoying that. The hot tub on the deck was a nice bonus as well. The area is absolutely beautiful and there’s a grocery store and some restaurants 6 minutes away. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend to anyone who wanted to spend time around the Smoky Mountains national park area."
