Magnificent View

We had a very nice stay. Magnificent view from deck, sunrise and sunset. Pool was great for the 100 degree days we had, very refreshing. To hot for the hot tub this time. Definitely need 4wd/awd vehicle. Had a good time Thanks

I’d give them 4.5 stars out of 5 but I rounded up. Everything was great overall! Just be mindful of a few things: you have to pay for linens which ran us about 20 per bed. We didn’t catch it initially on the description of the property.The power did go out (no inclement weather) but it was back on in a couple hours and the host was very responsive when it came to this. If you’re thinking about door dashing, we did it once and had plenty of options. The WiFi was solid for streaming on the Roku, but it’s not ideal otherwise. It was laggy just to scroll instagram and it was faster when we used our mobile data. The hot tub was great but know that the view shown on the listing is being blocked now by some vegetation and small trees growing. All in all, a great quiet getaway!

We had an awesome weekend at the cabin; the views are breathtaking. Host was very communicative and pleasant to deal with. The grill got a ton of use and I appreciated the ease of the Roku and being able to log in to our own streaming services for nighttime movies. The only real issue we had was that we almost didn't make it up the mountain despite having a 4WD SUV. The road is large loose gravel, and at one particularly steep point it briefly changes to 2 paved tire tracks- trying to transition onto that was crazy because the gravel provides no grip and the whole setup just lends itself to spinning tires. We had to back up and try again several times just to make it up that area. Aside from that situation though, everything was ideal and we loved our relaxing weekend at the cabin. Thank you for having us!

Beautiful and relaxing home away from home

We had a wonderful and relaxing time staying at the Moonshine Mountain Cabin. The view is even more spectacular than the pictures show and the cabin was very clean, well stocked, and comfortable. The pool and hot tub were a great bonus, too. Definitely take the AWD/4WD recommendation seriously, though, the mountain roads are bumpy.

A great place to stay

My friends and I stayed for a week and had an excellent time. The cabin itself is in a great location, we had no trouble getting up with 4wd. Shennandoah also has plenty of outdoor activities to do so you'll never be bored. The owner was also super communicative and polite! All in all an excellent place to stay that i'd highly recommend!

Beautiful views

Really loved this place. Like other reviewers said, you will need AWD to get up the driveway. And one of the king beds is basically open to the kitchen, so not a separate room. Other than that, it is a great place with amazing views.

My partner and I had an amazing experience at the cabin. It’s exactly what we needed. The views, trails, and clean mountain air was invigorating. A couple of things that could have made the experience a little better:1) After digging into the house amenities section, I saw that it read ‘no linens are provided as clearly stated in the listing”. It must’ve not been that clear because we completely missed this when booking the cabin. Only when I clicked into the property and on the details did I see this note. I’m glad we brought towels. 2) Although the property was cleaned well, the shower heads still had mildew/mold. That’s definitely one of those things that should be checked as that’s where the water comes out and hits our body. Needed some bleach. 3) I’m always grateful for HVAC, but when you’re in the mountains, you really want to experience the fresh, crisp air. There are no screens on the windows or doors. Would have been nice to be able to open a window or two at night and not have to rely on the AC.None of the above were huge issues and we had an amazing time. Would book again.

Christmas Magic

The property was even lovelier than the photos. The kitchen was super well-equipped. The hot tub was 104 which was perfect in the single digit temps. There was even a small Christmas tree which made it perfect! I would definitely recommend it to my friends and hope to come back in summer to try out the pool!

A cabin's cabin

Definitely the real deal. On a single lane gravel road with steep grades switchback turns. Beautiful cabin with awesome views of the mountains and Shenandoah River. The wood fire place reminded me of my own childhood and heated the entire home on 30*F night. This was a top 5 trip for the family.

Nice little cabin

The cabin itself is great. Very comfortable. Hot tub and deck are awesome! My only complaints were that I thought the trail to the falls was closer (it made it seem like it was on the property) and that there wasn't a house book to tell you how to get to the trail etc. Two things to be aware of: the shower in one of the masters is actually in the bedroom and one of the king beds in the open area next to the kitchen.

Comfort and view

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mountain Moonshine. It was just what we had hoped for. Heed the warnings about recommending a SUV - worth any extra cost. Loved the seclusion and the million dollar view. Hot tub was fantastic overlooking the Shenandoah River Valley and tons of stars at night when the clouds are in agreement. Would we go again? Absolutely.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful cabin in Rileyville! The location was absolutely perfect—quiet, peaceful, and close to everything we wanted to do. The cabin itself was spotless, cozy, and well stocked with everything we needed. The hot tub was the highlight—perfect after a day of exploring, and it made our evenings so relaxing.

Loved the house and property. Wished there was better communication about need for 4 wheel drive vehicle but property manger answered promptly and was very helpful. Also wish there was better description of where hiking trail was. Not sure if it was me but unable to start grill. But with knowing everything, I would still come back. Loved the covered deck, perfect place to relax and read and kids loved the pool.

The best experience we could have imagined!

Honestly, I was most pumped about having a pool and a hot tub for our little getaway, but once we arrived I couldn't believe the cabin size, cleanliness, vibe, views, decor - it was just perfect. There were only two of us and our two doggos, so we didn't *need* that much space, but it was just beautiful and serene, equipped with anything you need, and felt on top of the world so to speak/literally lol. Pool and hot tub were clean as well and so fun. One important thing to understand; this is a top of mountain property- the drive up is wild if you're not used to it. We had a pickup truck and still struggled a bit but by the end, he was having fun with it. I suggest bringing the food there when you first arrive, as nearest stores are 25ish minutes. We had so much fun and absolutely want to return! 5.5 hour drive from NJ and so worth it! Hosts were so accommodating and kind, with quick responses and easy instructions for check in, etc. thank you for such great memories!

Enjoyed all the wildlife and the gorgeous weather! There will always be bugs everywhere and the showers have seen better days but we loved watching the birds and bees. There’s a sweet little bird that nested by the door. The kitchen is lovely and fully functional, the space is clean, the beds are comfortable, and the view was incredible. No internet access.

Blue Ridge Beauty

Myself and a few friends stayed here in late April. The views from the cabin are as good or better than many on the Appalachian Trail or other nearby trails and parks, and the cabin itself was well appointed. The hosts were great and very prompt with communication. The road and driveway to access the property are gravel and somewhat steep, but I didn't feel like we needed high clearance or 4 wheel drive at any point (in good weather). I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Charles

Host profile image
I bought the cabin to 'Escape' and help me to relax from life in the city, my whole world feels better for the sake of a short drive. I fell in love with the area and all it has to offer. 10 years on and I still have not seen everything and new attractions are still being introduced to the area.

Why they chose this property

The area is just amazing. It has National Parks on the mountains and now by the river. Civil War Sites, Flea Markets and Antiques, the river. If I am at the cabin with my active friends we have lots to do and if I am with some of my family that is older we can just relax and do nothing.

What makes this property unique

My son loves it and it allows him to explore nature and have experiences that life in the city does not offer.
Canoe trips are still as much fun now as they were the first time.
We now hike further than when he was a baby.
The view from the cabin is amazing.
