I spent more time on the porch sitting in the rocking chair and just really enjoying the elements. Rooms were just as pictured. Hot tub was great. Location was great. Proximity to everything was great.

The Wild Life cabin was very clean, had ample amenities, and was exactly as advertised and everyone I spoke with at Summit Cabin Rentals was awesome as well from start to finish. The only issue I encountered was that the upstairs shower head was mostly clogged up, but Summit fixed the issue the same day I called about it.

Only issue is the smell of the water. That happens with with well water.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciate you mentioning the water smell. In some mountain areas, well water can have a natural sulfur scent at times. We’ll continue to monitor it to ensure the best experience possible for our guests. We hope to host you again soon!

We had a fantastic stay. There is no cell service if you have AT&T. But the cabin has Wi-Fi and the signal was strong enough for 6 phones with no issues. The water has an awful smell that I assume is due to it being well water, but you may want to bring a jug of water for coffee. I used bottled water to rinse my teeth after brushing. I’m sure the water would’ve been fine to use for those things, just more of a personal preference. We had a red headed woodpecker on the front porch one morning & saw a black bear on the way to the pool. All in all it was a great cabin and perfect for our family. We really enjoyed The Wild Life.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that you and your family had a fantastic stay at The Wild Life. We appreciate you sharing helpful details about the cell service and Wi-Fi, as that information can be very useful for future guests. It's also great to hear the Wi-Fi worked well for everyone in your group. Mountain cabins often use well water, which can sometimes have a sulfur smell, but we appreciate you sharing your experience. It sounds like you had some memorable Smoky Mountain wildlife encounters too! Seeing a woodpecker on the porch and a black bear during your stay is definitely part of the mountain experience. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us. We're so happy the cabin was a great fit for your family, and we'd love to welcome you back for another stay in the future!
