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.

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!

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!

Secluded but close to town

We loved: the theme and decor of the cabin, location, how the TV dropped out of the ceiling, the milk bath option, the hot tub, and the fire pit. We liked how the landscape made us feel like we were secluded in the woods.

Absolute perfect getaway

We came to town for our anniversary and had a perfect time. The cabin was well put together clean and an absolute joy to stay at. Downtown Wimberley was less than 5 minute drive away so we were able to go there several times to eat and enjoy the shops.
