A Marina That Stands Out From The Rest
Wildwood is a full-service resort with boutique accommodations, lakeside dining, retreat facilities, cafe, and live entertainment, but at our heart, Wildwood is a top-notch marina and perhaps like one that you won’t find anywhere else. “I think it’s one of middle Tennessee’s best-kept secrets. We currently have 132 covered slips and the remaining few open spaces are filling in quickly,” says Drew Tillman the Dock Manager at Wildwood. “The secret is out. Besides the natural beauty and untamed feeling of Cordell Hull Lake, I think one of the things that make our marina so unique is that we strive to keep it at a level that you rarely find at other marinas.”
As we stroll along, I comment on how meticulously maintained the Brazilian hardwood docks are. Drew answers with a hint of pride in his voice. “Yeah, the dock crew really works hard to keep them clean and pressure washed. We even offer a boat cleaning service for guests too.” He shoots me a casual smirk and continues, “One of our newest slip tenants asked me what our secret was for keeping out all the spiders and webs that seem to always inhabit marinas and boat slips. I just laughed and pointed to one of our many brooms and let him in on the big secret. We spider-sweep daily.”
