Perfect quiet mountain family retreat!
This cabin had everything we were looking for: outdoor area, fishing, hot tub, surrounded by nature, fire pit. It was very clean and the property manager was very prompt to respond. We LOVED Moonshine Manor.

Cute little cabin
This was a great cabin for our family. Positives were the location and decor. It had such charm. It had the basic things we needed, and provided a great layout. Negatives were lots on lady bugs inside the house which we didn’t love, and most of the blinds were knotted and hard to open. The front door is also very hard to shut completely. I did not like the fact I had to make the top bunk upon arrival even though it was stated there were 4 people. Overall we would recommend and it was a great trip.

Relaxation
Had a fantastic week at Oldja’s Moonshine. Though located in a community the layout of the property allows for plenty of solitude. Multiple areas are set up for gathering to visit including the pond and fire pit. AC kept the cabin very comfortable during above average temps. We will look forward to coming back even with the USF flag flying out front. GO UCF!!!

Good location
Good location - accessible, not hanging off the side of a cliff like many cabins in the area. Well maintained and very clean. It would be great to have electronic access and not require a 20 minute drive to get and then return the key.

Calm, beautiful, and rustic setting.
Great authentic feel of a cabin set in area surrounded by trees and hills. It was quiet and peaceful. The cabin was very clean and well stocked with cooking supplies. Indoor fireplace was a plus for those chilly nights! Only negative was having to take out trash to the local dump; you’d think the cleaning service fee would cover that. Would stay again!

Overall good experience
Last minute vacation before kids went back to school. Chose this cabin specifically for fishing pond and previous reviews on location. Cabin was a bit more “rustic” than pictures show. Overall vacation was relaxing and cabin provided what we needed. The location was spot on in regards to travel times when searching for hikes or other nearby towns. Flat level yard provided hours of enjoyment for my kids. The pup next door is also a sweetheart and likes to visit when you are fishing. Great time had by all! Do bring extras when choosing this cabin. Dish soap ,kitchen sponge, garbage bags, and laundry soaps as they do not supply any complimentary items.

Thank you so much for your feedback on the cabin! We are glad you had a good stay and enjoyed the fishing pond! It is a favorite with the younger visitors. We apologize those items were not in the home. The owners typically do not furnish those for the stays. Some times there are items left in the home by prior guest. We hope you will give us a return visit as we do appreciate your business!

Nice cabin in great location
We really liked location. Close to Asheville, Great Smoky Mountains National park, Bryson City with lots of activities. The house is kind of old but as shown in the pictures. Kitchen had all the utensils we needed. Kids liked the DVD collection. Didn’t like that the master bedroom doesn’t have place to put your clothes to and the hot tub is very small. The cleaning could be better too.

Great family vacation rental
The cabin was very charming! It very close to Maggie Valley and downtown Waynesville! The appliances were obviously new. To complement the charm of the cabin, I would suggest adding some porch furniture. Overall, we had a great experience.

We had the best time at this cabin. It's peaceful and quiet and so close to town, yet seems out away from everything. If you want to get away from the chaos of the world, this is the place to go!

Misleading listing, cabin needs update.
Would like to preface this by saying that the property management company was very helpful and moved us to a new cabin as soon as they heard of our dissatisfaction at no extra charge. Very pleased with the outcome, Unfortunately, I feel like a review needed to be made on this cabin to help future families with their decision making process. First of all, the “AC” is not central heating/air. It’s a very old window unit and other fans that is so loud when running that you can’t enjoy conversation inside the cabin and can’t get a good nights rest due to the dysfunctional fan upstairs. It was very hot the day we stayed and the AC needed to run full blast, maybe the heat isn’t as loud but if we weren’t offered another cabin we would have just left due to not being able to sleep comfortably. The listing stated satellite/cable which seemed like was at the fault of VRBO, Melissa asked me where I saw it as soon as I brought it to her attention. But there is only 2 small TVs with a dvd collection, I know some people really enjoy watching the news so that was disappointing for my elderly family member with us. There was no WiFi when we arrived despite being listed as an amenity. This was important when choosing because of my infants pulse/ox monitor and also video baby monitor. It didn’t seem like WiFi had been hooked up for quite some time as it was all sitting on the floor unplugged. Under the couch there was layers of dog hair, we had to vacuum before putting out our baby gate because of the amount. I understand if the owners have pets, but they need to properly clean up after themselves. I’m assuming it was from them based off of the “yellow lab country” floor mats. The kitchen is not properly stocked with pots/pans for a family who plans on cooking. Before we realized we were leaving this cabin we had to go purchase our own cooking tools and containers which was an unnecessary added expense. It’s very outdated. Lastly, just a word for families who may have babies with them, only one room is actually dark at bedtime. The skylights do not have proper blinds on them and we literally had to put our baby in the bathroom to try and have him go to sleep at a decent time. The pond across the road was nice, the location was nice, the porch was nice. But if you are staying for a week and don’t plan on leaving much this probably isn’t the cabin for you, we were pretty uncomfortable inside.

Family mountain vacation
This is our 3rd year going to the Smokey Mountains. This vacation has been amazing. This cabin is in the perfect location. It’s one of a kind. It’s extremely cozy and the well equipped. It looks small on the outside. But the cabin is very spacious. The wrap around porch is perfect for having coffee and watching the bunny rabbits and all the birds. While you listen to the peaceful waters of the creek. The small fishing pond is also great. It’s has many fishes small and large. We were there for 7 days. My boys and myself caught at least 10 fish. The property around is breathtaking. There’s a cute alpaca farm down the road. Where you can walk to.The drive from the main road to the Cabin is also great any vehicle will do. There are no scary turns or dangerous maneuvering. . We also enjoyed the hot tub. Which worked great. It looks brand new. Along with all the appliances. The beds were very comfortable. They were had good quality mattresses. Overall it’s a beautiful well kept cabin. I would definitely rent it again in the future.
