What is The Old Moonshiner like?

True to its name, The Old Moonshiner feels like a secret tucked away in the hills. The approach sets the tone, with a whiskey barrel and wooden sign marking the path to the front door. Inside, dark green walls and moody lighting give the cabin a character that stands apart from everything else on the property. The living room has a black leather sofa, a granite-surround fireplace, and a gallery wall of vintage photos that lean into the moonshine theme. The kitchenette features open shelving, a compact stove, and enough counter space to put together simple meals. A vintage Singer sewing machine repurposed as a towel stand is one of many handpicked details you will notice throughout. The bedroom has a queen bed with a rustic headboard, a ceiling fan, and forest views through the window. The bathroom has a modern vessel sink and a shower. The screened-in porch is the real showstopper. It works as a bug-free outdoor living room where you can enjoy the hot tub, a whiskey barrel side table, and spool furniture without a single mosquito. Just beyond, a charcoal grill and fire pit sit in the yard for evening cookouts. The Old Moonshiner is perfect for couples who appreciate a cabin with personality and a story behind every corner. Pets are welcome, and the flat rate covers all your pets for the entire stay. This is the hideaway you have been looking for.

The Old Moonshiner sits off the main drive along a curved gravel lane marked by a whiskey barrel and wooden sign. A stone fire pit and wooden benches sit on the gravel pad right next to the cabin, with tall slender trees ringing the clearing on every side. The lattice-skirted side deck steps up to the door.

"The place looked amazing from the outside, the inside had some normal wear and tear. The only problem was there was signs of mice inside of the Airbnb, there was mouse droppings in one of the bottom drawers in the kitchen. It’s in the woods so I know mice are hard to deal with but still was gross to see. Had a folder with a lot of attractions and restaurants to try that was really nice to see and look through. Definitely a nice little place for a weekend getaway for a couple."

"This was my first time using a cabin. Everything was really good. I thought there should be more towels and wash cloths supplied for a couple having a week long stay. There were 4 towels and 2 wash cloths. We ended up buying some of our own. Other than that it was a relaxing week."

"the cabin was absolutely amazing, very cozy, very clean. Athough the hot tub had a green tint to it, but it smelled clean, and looked clean, im not sure if its a cleaning product or not but we still enjoyed it very much. Tips to improve would be better cleaning product and a ln outdoor table would have be nice but I do highly recommend staying here it was absolutely wonderful, and worth every penny!!!!"

"Only issues I had was the hot tub was green and had a musty odor and they claimed they send me emails about pre-check in and after check out but I never received them and when I asked about it I never got a response but other then that it was absolutely beautiful it was very quiet and peaceful the windows were huge we saw a deer in the living room window before we left too I would definitely comeback to that cabin again me and my husband booked it for our mini honeymoon"

"Very cute and cozy and great location. The hamper wasn't emptied and there were no clean towels. Unfortunately it took until after noon the next day to get any and a trash bag was left on the porch. Other than what was probably just a rushed cleaning job, the place was awesome! I would go again, just maybe bring some extra towels ;)"

"Great little cabin to getaway to! Tucked back into a very quiet and beautiful peace of property with other cabins. The Old Moonshiner was perfect for 2 people and dogs. Bathroom has been remodeled and includes a full bath+shower along with the toilet and shower. WiFi worked great. Hot tub is very large and on a nice screened porch."
