Top Dark Island Swinging Bridge Hotel Reviews

Tremont Lodge & Resort

8/10 Good

"Parking was scarce."

The Parkman - Great Smoky Mountains

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very friendly, kind, helpful. They LOVED interacting with our Beagle Theodore. They showed him so much love. We had a great view of the mountains. We did unfortunately miss breakfast during our stay, so I can not leave a review for that. The hotel was also quiet & in sections of different buildings making it more personal. We had a nice large private balcony that is separate from the main entrance of our room. Also the parking was not in front of anyone's bedroom window."

Laurel Valley Mountain Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay in Blissful Breeze. We especially enjoyed the small patio and peaceful view of the mountains, and the Koi pond. It was very quiet except for the people coming in late at night and thumping their luggage up the stairs"

Highland Manor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable, clean room. Housekeeping was great and appreciated having plenty of towels available especially when hiking & sometimes taking more than one shower a day. Convenient location in Townsend with good restaurants around. Staff was very nice and accommodating when we knew we would be leaving earlier on days that breakfast hours didn’t start, they gave us a coffee maker, coffee & tea for our room. Appreciated the Christian touches. If I had to give one suggestion it would be to start the continental breakfast hours at 7am"

Townsend Gateway Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and the bed comfortable. Quiet stay. Will stay again."

Best Western Cades Cove Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was efficient and helpful. They no longer have coffee in the room but is available in their common area until 10:00 p.m. The hotel has ample parking and located within a few miles of the National Park."

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."
