This rustic 2-bedroom cabin nestled in the woods is the ideal hideaway to escape your worries and the bustle of everyday life. Moonshiner’s Hideaway offers privacy and seclusion with mountain views while still being near Bryson City, the Nantahala Outdoor Center, and fishing just a mile away on the Little Tennessee River.

The wrap around deck has many areas to sit, relax and enjoy the sounds of nature and the fantastic mountain view. The large, well-appointed kitchen accommodates all your dining needs and there also is a charcoal grill outside. You can enjoy an evening under the stars in the hot tub just steps off the back deck, or roast your marshmallows over the backyard fire pit. If the evening gets too cool you can always enjoy satellite TV and HughesNet internet while warming yourself by the indoor gas fireplace. When it's time to retire, set your own comfort level in the king size Sleep Number® bed in the master suite. The second bedroom has a new, top of the line queen bed.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We had a great stay at the cabin. Although it was a hot weekend we took advantage of hot tub and fire pit and cooked out amazing meals. Our suburban dog loved taking walks off the beaten path.

Sons wedding weekend

We felt the cabin was better in person than the pictures presented…. And the pictures were amazing to us. Cozy, comfortable, clean, and many things nearby to do. Absolutely quiet and beautiful setting and we look forward to returning one day in the future to explore and experience more this area has to offer.

Could not have possibly been better!

If you are looking for a drop dead gorgeous place to stay, this is it! My husband, my two best friends and I stayed for the weekend and we’re literally blown away by this cabin! My husband and I travel a lot and this has got to be the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. They have it stocked so well, it was super clean, the location was amazing, it was perfect!

If you have a chance to book this property, do it! It was an absolute dream stay for us and our senior dog. There is nothing that the host doesn’t provide. We used the hot tub (under the stars) washer/dryer, gas fireplace, sleep number bed, full kitchen , etc… very convenient location, peaceful, quiet, and extra CLEAN!We could rest and relax in the welcoming and comfortable living room on the main floor. Super dog friendly.The host was very helpful and gave timely communication. I definitely would stay here again and would hope to invite family to join. So grateful for this stay. Perfect way to kick off a week of exploring the mountains.

BEAUTIFUL Cabin & Excellent place to visit

We absolutely loved our stay here! I'm a native northcarolinian from the coastal plains, but I've never quite made my way into the Smokies so I was very excited. This stay did not disappoint. My husband loved the many opportunities around to fly fishing and my kids LOVED the white water rafting experience just a short drive away at the NOC. Would highly recommend anyone check that out. We loved this cabin so much we w already talking about when we are coming back. And possibly to bring family and/or friends to stay in the neighboring cabin. Can't wait to be back at Moonshiners Cabin again soon!!

Perfect get away

We absolutely loved this cabin. Clean and spacious for us. Kitchen was well stocked, bath towels and bedding were perfect, along with a wonderful hot tub and a peaceful gas log fireplace. I was so thankful for the option to be disconnected if I wanted but still had the option to connect with Starlink. Our host was easy to communicate with, answering questions quickly. Loved hearing the rain on the tin roof, playing a few board games and completing a puzzle. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get away and disconnect. I will definitely stay again.

The Most Perfect Cabin

This cabin is great! The location is ideal. You do share a driveway with the neighboring cabin, but you still have your privacy and don't really see them. Definitely check out Cardinal Coffee, it's the closest coffee, smoothie and bagel shop to the cabin. It is the best. This was probably one of the cleanest cabins we have stayed in. Also, they do include toiletries, which is a plus. Very well stocked. The wi-fi service isn't the greatest, as it is satellite, so when it rains it goes out. We didn't have cell service at the cabin (we have Verizon), so we relied on the wi-fi. There is a decent amount of DVDs and board games to play. The host, Nate is SUPER responsive to any questions you have, and replies almost instantly. Overall, this is a fantastic place and you'll love it just as much as our family did. We will certainly be back!

Beautiful spot, great amenities but very remote

We loved our stay here! The cabin is thoughtfully prepared for guests. We really appreciated that they were dog friendly. The large covered porch was the best spot for reading every morning and playing card games in the evenings. The hot tub and firepit were great. I would say the only downside is that while there is wifi, there is no cell reception whatsoever. Bryson City is a 20 minute drive away which is fine, but every other town is a much further drive because some roads are very windy and narrow, others are gravel and slow-going. This is FINE if you know that going into it and prepare for it! Don't expect to zip over to another town in a short drive; it took us over an hour to go 30 miles to another town one morning. I really appreciated that the cabin allowed us to decompress in the quiet, so I would not count the remoteness against it.
