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.

It is totally different than what I expected. Very quiet, peaceful and lots of deer! We were close to town but hidden in the woods. The cabin itself was the main entertainment. Something interesting around every corner and ceiling. Loved it.

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.

Awesome Getaway

The cabin was everything that was advertised! What an amazing getaway that allowed us to just relax and enjoy ourselves. Town is literally a hop and a skip from the cabin and what a better way to relax than in the hot tub under the stars at the end of the night. Communication with the owner was fast and easy and we would highly recommend!

Truly unique! Love the vibe. Very cozy.

Overall, great stay. We spent time appreciating all the decor and intricate details they have put into this cabin. Truly unique! Loved stargazing in the hot tub both nights. It's also a very short drive to everything you'll want to do in Wimberley. We even drove out to Dripping Springs, just 20 minutes away.

Great Couples Getaway

We spent 3 days here for a quick getaway. Everything was just as described in the listing. Only a 2 minute drive into Wimberly and around 20 minutes to Canyon Lake. Even though you are a short distance from town and the highway, it gives a very "secluded" feel. We utilized both the hot tub and fire pit, which were much welcomed with lows in the 40's each night. Highly recommend for a couples trip.
