About this property
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. Pet Fee: Our pet fee is $50 each for friendly, leashed pets. Please declare pets at time of booking (max 2 pets without prior approval). VRBO NOTE: Vrbo only charges one pet fee, so a 2nd pet fee will be added after booking, if applicable. Note:the cabin is surrounded by nature on three sides and has a neighbor on the 4th side. There is a nice privacy fence on the neighbor side of the property. This property is not suitable for children.

This was definitely a picturesque cabin in the woods. Everything was beautiful, and we got lucky with the weather. From lounging in the hammock, warming up next to the fire pit on a chilly night, or gazing up at the stars in the hot tub, I would highly recommend this place if you're looking to get away for some R&R. Just sitting outside and enjoying the sights, sound, and feel of nature was refreshing. We were even able to bring our telescope and do some stargazing. Such a great spot with clear skys. Stock up the little fridge and you can even cook your own meals on the stove, with the oven, or even the grill outside. The options for having romantic meals are endless, with fair weather, eating outside for almost every meal definitely set the mood. Of course, the location is also great, just a short drive to Wimberly Town Square, with a plethora of great little shops and eateries. 11/10 would stay again
We have stayed at other bnb’s in Wimberly before but The Moonshiner is the place to stay hands down. Can’t be beat for location, size, amenities and price! Can’t wait to come back again!
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.
Enjoyed our trip to the Moonshiner Cabin with my partner. The cabin was comfortable and very clean. Will be looking forward to returning here again in the future!
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.
We stayed at the moonshiner for our honeymoon. Enjoyed the quiet and peaceful location. Was a comfortable stay with zero complaints about the accommodations. Short drive to nearby stores and places to visit.
My wife and I enjoyed two nights at Moonshiner. The place cozy! We loved the aesthetic, the hot tub, and outdoor shower. Jen was very helpful and prompt in her responses. We'll be back!
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!
If you were looking for a private and welcoming place that just so happens to have unique and creative design, look no further! This spot has everything you will need and extremely convenient to anything and everything you’ll want to do.
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!
We loved staying here! You can feel the time and care that the owners put into the property. Very clean. Super comfy bed. Excellent communicators. Would absolutely recommend this spot!
The charm of this place is amazing. As antique collectors and creative souls ourselves, this cottage appealed to us immensely. The hot tub was perfect on the chilly nights we stayed.
Thank you for providing the setting for a perfect weekend.
we very much enjoyed our weekend getaway at the moonshiner cabin. it was private, cozy and exactly as pictured!! the vintage vibes were the perfect touch. close to town yet hidden away and quiet. gregory & jennifer were great hosts, quick to respond and very kind! we would definitely recommend and we ourselves hope to be back again as well.
My husband and I come here every year. We love moonshiner for its unique style. It is always clean and the owners are super responsive. The cabin is well equipped with everything you need, the bed is comfortable, and you have privacy. We always enjoy our stay here.ourselves every time we come.
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.
