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.

"Small combined living and kitchen area however the huge bedroom and screened in porch with hot tub make up for it. A cute, clean place, perfect for a couple. Very private and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay."

"We loved the cabin for our short honeymoon stay! My only suggestion would be to have hot pads in the kitchen and maybe some better cookware and baking sheets for those who would like to make their own food. Cookware size and quality was very limiting to what could be made."

"This Airbnb had a cozy cabin in the woods feel, making it a great place to stay. The hot tub was a nice spot to relax. Hocking Hills is nearby, and the downtown area was charming with its good food, friendly people, and beautiful location. We would love to stay here again!"

"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."
