"Property was misrepresented do not go by the pictures only a couple were of the actual condo. My master bedroom at home is bigger than this entire condo. Took 2 hours of phone calls to several different numbers to get the real code to get in. Gave me several wrong codes not fun to deal with after a 9 hour drive at midnight. Don’t turn the jets on the hot tub unless you want a migraine from the screeching sound of the pumps getting ready to implode. Plenty of better places to stay in the area. ...

Top Dark Island Swinging Bridge Hotel Reviews

Tremont Lodge & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The location is awesome! You’re close to coffee shops, restaurants, and a bike trail for miles with adorable decorated tunnels and a park for littles to play. The lodge is beautiful but is on the older side, so a few things needed upgrading, but the place is very clean. The breakfast is a basic continental breakfast, but it’s included! We saw an outdoor screen for outside movies but never saw anything about movies playing, saw a sign for a game room but never saw it, there was a pickleball court but couldn’t find the equipment. So, I’m not sure about some of the amenities. You don’t get daily towels or daily room service, but when you did actually see someone, they were helpful in getting the things you needed. It was super chill and quiet the beginning of the week but then around Thursday/Friday it was like bikers came in from all over and there was no parking near our building, but we made it work. All in all, we loved the location and will probably be back next fall break. It’s probably the nicest place in Townsend! Thank you so much!"

The Parkman - Great Smoky Mountains

10/10 Excellent

"Very quiet and old school hotel. Townsend is where we stay when we ride down to eastern Tennessee. Close enough to everything but far enough away from the tourist areas. The only complaint I have of my room was there wasn’t a fridge or microwave. But the bed was comfortable and the view was great. The bathroom was small and the shower is tiny. But it was overall a very nice hotel."

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

Relax on the Quiet Side – Hot Tub & Serenity!

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin was very nice. Only concern we had was the drive into the driveway as the need to turn around to drive back down the road was necessary. It would have been nice to have a suggestion to go to top of the road and turn around there and come back down to driveway to back in to park. I came to that after my first time of turning around in the widened section of road there which was pretty hairy. Otherwise only a few light bulbs needed replaced and the light over the stove needed to be replaced.We loved the clean spaces and welcoming interfaces we had in this experience."
