The Moonshiner: Prohibition with a Steampunk Twist

The Moonshiner Cabin is a perfectly curated, hand-built treasure. Let it transport you back in time to an era of cocktails and jazz. The owners have lovingly curated this cabin using The Prohibition Era as inspiration and we guarantee there’s nothing else like it! Just a short jaunt to town, yet nestled among the oaks on 1.5 acres, this cabin has everything you require of modern life, but the charm and romance of a different century.
Gregory, a local craftsman, built nearly every inch of the cabin, including much of the furniture and all the light fixtures. Whenever possible he tucked the modern world just a little out of sight, including a hidden smart TV that drops down from the ceiling. This is truly a a one-of-a-kind retreat.

The Moonshiner Cabin is nestled among the hills and streams of the Hill Country, in the charming little village of Wimberley. Folks visit Wimberley to feel like they’ve traveled back to a bygone era where kids swing off ropes into creeks, everyone knows their neighbor, time slows down and summer nights under the stars last an eternity. This cabin embraces that nostalgic longing and we invite you to come stay for a spell.

Cozy Quiet Retreat
This property was quiet and restful. Loved the outdoor shower and hot tub. Creative decor. Eco-conscious which was a plus. We used it as a home base for the Formula 1 race at COTA. Worked great.

Perfect getaway!
This little cabin in the woods was decorated perfectly, and cute as a button. The owners thought of every detail of decor, providing great conversation as we checked out all the little things he built by hand. Very relaxing with deer and other wildlife nearby. Proximity to town was perfect, only a few mins drive. We enjoyed the town shops and dining, stopped at a couple breweries, took in a night time kayak ride on the Comal, and a concert at Whitewater Amphitheater. All activities close and easy to get to and from this little cabin. I recommended to the owners that the bed is ready for replacement for a more comfortable night's sleep. But it still gets 5 stars as we 100% enjoyed our stay.

Relaxing and quiet.
The property was great, exactly as expected. The wife and I were able to relax in private and get away from the world for a bit. The hosts had a travel guide for the area as well. Gives several recommendations on food and entertainment.

Fantastic!
Contactless check in was flawless. From the moment we walked in, we were in awe. The hot tub was sparkling clean and already hot. There was ice in the freezer. There was a bottle of Prosecco to welcome us. The details in the cabin were thoughtful and executed perfectly. The outdoor shower was such a fun element. This cabin feels secluded and remote, but it’s only 5 minutes to the Wimberley square. We are already planning to come again

Moonshiner review
Very quaint and retro accomodations as we expected. The cast iron side rails on the bed were a bother for an older person as myself who has to get up at least 2 times or more a night to use the bathroom. The metal base for the wooden stove is a hazard for older people at night. The tub needs a tub mat so people won't slip. The outdoor shower probably needs a door rather than a curtain or else find a way to anchor the bottom to keep from opening in the wind. We wanted to use the fan but it was very very noisy. Suggest oiling it or update it. We hope you will use our constructive criticism. Thanks. The Pachecos

Great little cabin
My wife and I stayed at this little cabin and very much enjoyed our stay. The place was one of the cleanest that we’ve ever stayed in. Even though there is a house very close by and it’s only about a mile and a half from town it feels very secluded and private because of the cedar post fence. Loved the hot tub and outdoor shower. My only dislike is the French press coffee maker. That’s on me though because I’m so spoiled with the keurig. Highly recommend this cabin.

Stop looking...this place is perfect!
I brought my wife here as a surprise long weekend getaway for her birthday. The attention to detail and unique esthetic of The Moonshiner cabin definitely made for a memorable experience. The old world charm with a steampunk flair was both fun and relaxing. It very close to Wimberly Square but still felt very private and secluded. We enjoyed the hot tub on the cool crisp evenings and relaxed in the rocking chairs on the porch during the day. My wife really enjoyrd it and didn't want to leave. The owners have really created something special. I cannot recommend this enough.

Perfect, romantic getaway cabin
Beautiful cabin, and grounds just as described. We had a wonderful weekend. The only thing I could have to say about this cabin is if you were planning to stay longer than a weekend, and like to unpack your suitcases, there is not a closet or dresser or anywhere to hang your clothes. Certainly not a dealbreaker though. Also, the neighbors dog was a little annoying with the barking, but it never seemed to last too long. We love the cabin, and will rent it again.
