Top Dark Island Swinging Bridge Hotel Reviews

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!"

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."
