*** This is a WALK in CAMPSITE. If you don't like camping in the woods. This is not the place for you. If you enjoy camping, you will LOVE this glamping site!!!
Welcome to our small Farm, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Madison County, Virginia. Located just minutes from Shenandoah National Park, we offer intimate nature-inspired cottages and camping on our 120-acre working farm. Moonshine Camp is located up a small valley near the old spring where moonshine was made back in the day. This walk-in site is an easy 1/10 mile walk from the parking area. The small glamping cottage has everything you need for a peaceful stay in the woods. It comes with a queen memory foam mattress, linens, blankets and pillows. A small outdoor cooking and food prep space which includes, a small washing sink, pots, pans, dishes and utensils. Cook over the firepit with a built-in camp grill. The camping space is in the woods, surrounded by ferns, near a small spring and has a small table and chairs for two, rechargeable lanterns, a handwashing station and a covered changing area, with a portable toilet using biobags. We also provide a food storage cooler and some fun moonshine books and reading material. Firewood is available for purchase on site for $5 per bundle. The space is suitable for two adults without pets. There is no electric or potable water on site. We can deliver ice, drinking water, a charging block and any items from our farm store. All guest accommodations are very private, located acres apart by trails and farm roads.

Hose was excellent, great communication, helpful, answered questions, even returned items inadvertently left behind. Location was great for activities around the national park and caverns.
We had a wonderful time staying here! The cabin was clean and cozy, and had everything we needed to cook over the fireplace! It was the perfect way to enjoy the camping experience and still get to sleep in a comfortable bed. We got a farm tour in the morning and loved meeting all the animals! The host was lovely!

We're glad you enjoyed your time on the farm. Thanks for staying with us!
Hosts were super nice and the room/cabin were perfect. It is Glamping. Perfect for the outdoor experience blended with a comfortable bed. 1/2 bath is not quite a 1/2 bath but if you are a camper or hiker and your significant other is not, it is a good option to get them outdoors. Great location from Old Rag and a few other trails. Definitely would go back.
We really enjoyed our stay! The animals were so much fun to be around especially the dogs they were so sweet and cute. There is no door to the cabin so just make sure you pack warm clothes for cold nights(there were extra blankets so it was fine for us)! Very easy to access and its a short walk from car to the cabin itself. Surprisingly I had some service (T-Mobile) but my partner did not which we expected and were totally okay with. We were easily able to get into touch with the owner so everything was very smooth!

We’re glad you enjoyed your stay.
*** there is a screen door on the cabin with a curtain. There is no electricity, heat or insulation in this glamping cabin. Surprisingly enough we’ve had guest stay when the temperature is in the 20s and they stayed comfortable with the wool and down blankets provided. :)
The cabin was perfect for an overnight stay. It was so secluded and the woods were beautiful. We were able to walk to the winery/brewery down the road and spent a lovely night by the fire. We were comfortable sleeping in the cabin with the windows open. The farm was very cool although the llama (alpaca?) didn't seem to like me :) The owner was amazing and went above and beyond when we left something behind. Would definitely recommend as a unique overnight stay.

We’re glad you enjoyed your stay despite Diamond and Luna the alpacas not being overly friendly lol it typically takes food to motivate them :). Thanks for staying with us.
overall , such a great experience. I was prepared for a glamping experience BUT I wish I would have known a few things-The mini cabin has 3 windows, none of which have curtains... a bit creepy at night but no big deal!-Bring lanterns with full charge!-The mini cabin gets VERY hot , granted we did stay in June haha. We ended up going to Walmart and buying battery powered fans-The bathroom is an outhouse, mainly used for #2. I think it would have been nice to know it was a legit outhouse haha. Managable though. Toilet paper and wipes left out for us-The BUGS. Okay outdoorsbugs BUT the mini cabin gave barely any protection. The roof must have some areas they are able to get in because they were quite literally falling from the ceiling haha. Not to mention we had to keep the window open for some airflow so they were violently trying to get inside-Speaking of airflow. Although there is 3 windows there was not much of a breeze from any direction for us, again manageable-The cooler that is there for guests to put grocery items in is a bit dirty and our bag of ice only lasted a little over a day. I would recommend not needing or expecting much refrigerated needs-The fire pit was cool, only problem of mine personally was the angle it sits on may is slightly difficult to cook food over-The equipment inside the cabin was SUPER helpful over. The 'sink' was great for its purpose, thankful for the stock pile of sink water -Location was great! So much within an hour.

I believe you need to reconsider staying at any glamping location in the future. Doesn’t sound like it’s your thing.
The cabin has three windows that open with screens plus a screen door. The outside temperature during your stay was in the 90s with a heat index of nearly 110 degrees. You were staying in the coolest part of our farm maybe county. 😂 Most of my campers bailed due to the heat wave that week.
All of the cabin details are in the listing which obviously you did not read since you left your trash onsite making me carry it out. The cabin is Leave No Trace.
