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.

Our pet fee is $50 each for friendly, leashed pets. Please declare pets at time of booking (max 2 pets without prior approval).

Very nice cabin with great attention to detail. Stashing the tv in the ceiling with counter weights is genius! We appreciated the thoughtful touches for our pupper, all the extra towels, and the overall cleanliness. The mattress was absolutely THE Most comfortable mattress we have ever experienced. My husband and I slept so soundly. I only woke up when the critters set off the motion sensor walkway lights. The hosts were very easy to communicate with. They made sure the hot tub was ready for us when we arrived, tired from the road. My husband loved the outdoor shower and I loved the claw-foot tub. If there was one thing I would have had different, it would have been the window covers. They were great for the era but short on privacy. I loved all the natural light, but would have loved more privacy. There are neighbors close by. Also, the top pipe rail on the bed is not short people friendly, but it is beautifully made. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

It was quiet and comfortable. Easy access from I35 or east of Wimberley. I would only suggest some comfy furniture on the back porch. Otherwise, it was a unique and lovely place to stay.

The property was awesome. Very clean and cozy and very well kept. It was nice just sitting on the porch, enjoying nature and the peacefulness it provides. It has all of the amenities that you would need for a nice relaxing getaway. Even though you feel like you are out in the middle of nature you are less than a 10 minute drive to some very nice shops and restaurants at the Wimberly Square. Excellent cabin, excellent location that I would highly recommend!!!

Great Getaway

This was a great cabin for my husband and I to get away for a weekend. We throughly enjoyed the space and what was offered. We were able to cook small meals, enjoy the hot tub, and it is so close to shopping/recreation/restaurants. We had a small issue with a breaker after a crazy rain storm blew in. The hosts were so helpful and quick with getting us back up & running. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Peaceful Getaway

This property was amazing. While it had a neighbor, it felt secluded and cozy. Still close enough to town to get anything needed. There are some hidden gems and was just like the listing advertised. We want to go back!

Not comfortable

The esthetic of the cabin is adorable! I absolutely loved all the little things that bright the theme to life in this cabin. However, there is no comfort to be found. The mattress slopes so bad to the middle my back hurt the entire stay. The couch is cool to look at but not comfortable. There are no cushions for any chairs outside or kitchen. Internet worked only the first night we were there. A rodent was trying to nest or chew through the wall every night of our 4 night stay. And to No fault of the hosts…the neighbors dogs are absolutely horrible! They will start barking at 2-230am and not stop the whole day. Unfortunately, this did not create the much needed serenity we were hoping for on our anniversary get away. We thought it would be a secluded place for relaxation, but in fact, the neighbors are very close and the fence is not built seamless enough to enjoy a private evening outside.

Honeymoon at moonshiners

Our honeymoon at this cozy cabin was nothing short of magical! Tucked away in a peaceful setting, the cabin was the perfect blend of charm and comfort. The unique decor gave it so much personality—every corner had something special to admire. The hot tub under the stars was the ultimate romantic touch, making our evenings unforgettable. From the thoughtful amenities to the warm, inviting atmosphere, everything was perfect. If you’re looking for a dreamy getaway with character and relaxation, this place is a must!
