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 is a standout, with a modern vessel sink, a walk-in shower with dual showerheads, and a large window that frames the trees outside. 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 mailbox. 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.

"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."

"I was originally not going to leave this review. But after my experience and going back and forth with air bnb (since the host does not respond), I feel it is warranted. I booked this air bnb in January 2026 for March 2026, the listing and reviews indicated there was a large nature shower that was present in the bedroom. This stay was for our honeymoon, so nature shower sounded great! I reached out a week before our stay, no response. We arrive to the cabin, first we notice an odd smell, then we notice the lack of cleanliness, then we notice, the pictures on the listing and what we were looking at are completely different. NO NATURE SHOWER. the cabin had been remodeled since I had booked. Had this been communicated, we would have booked somewhere else. I don’t have enough characters available in the post to list everything that was dirty or inaccurate but I’ll sum it up; drywall dust on everything, bedding stained, remotes dead, kitchen not stocked with basics, COMPLETELY REMODELED."
