Gorgeous retreat

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.

5 star view

My wife and I stayed her for an Oct Fall weekend and it was absolutely amazing. We were having a delayed celebration of our anniversary and just wanted a quiet stay, secluded, with an amazing view to enjoy the Fall colors - - and this place delivered to the fullest. Communication with the host was excellent, check-in was easy, and the cabin is very nice. You'll never leave the porch. 100% recommend and we will definitely be back.

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!

Great Vacation

We had a fantastic time at the cabin. The cabin was clean and nicely decorated. The pool and hot tub were very nice as well. The views from the front deck were incredible. The mountain road and driveway was a little rough but easily traveled with 4WD.

Price for view = rugged drive

Although the listing recommends 4WD, that, to me, should be featured more prominently. The view from the home is spectacular, but guests should be acutely aware that the price is a rugged, steep drive. The home is nice and roomy; the exterior could use a little boost. Overall it was a lovely getaway.

A little bit of heaven...you won't want to leave!

The cabin & property are amazing! The pictures do not do it justice! Our favorites are the wide open view of the mountains (great for sunsets & stars), the huge balcony/deck to sit on an enjoy the peacefulness & the view, and of course the pool & hot tub! The cabin itself is very clean & well-stocked, especially the kitchen! I've never stayed at a cabin that had so many things in the kitchen for us to use! We loved the panini press! The ambience, decorations, furniture, showers are all thoughtful, well taken care of, and make you feel right at home. I've already booked another week here because of how blown away we were with it all! I didn't want to leave! Thank you Charles! It means a lot to us that your shared this "little slice of heaven" with us!

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.

Secluded and scenic

What a beautiful home with great amenities. Gorgeous views everywhere. I would agree with the owner that a 4 wheel or all wheel drive is necessary to get to the house. The only bad part was that my stay was way too short. 😊

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.

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!

Weekend getaway

I definitely recommend staying at this location. It’s remote and secluded but still close enough to trails and local towns. The house was very clean and beautiful view of the mountains. Charlie was very accommodating and communication was great. Pool was nice to have on the warm days. I recommend an AWD vehicle as it was hard to get up the hill to the house. We will return.

Fantastic Slice of Heaven

The pictures and description do not do this place justice. The interior was so much more than we expected. It was comfortable, gorgeous, and just what we needed as a haven. The porch area is where we spent most of our time. The views were magnificent. We sat there and stared at sunrise, sunset, and the stars. I’m fact, we could faintly see the Milky Way. If I have my way, we will be back.

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.
