About this property

Pines Lodge at Sand Run Lake in WNF, Hocking Hills

A unique feature about the Pines Lodge is that it is located in an ATV Friendly area. The Monday Creek Trail System is located 1-mile away from the cabin. Wayne National Forest offers over 75+ miles of designated trails for off-road riders. Guests can ride directly from the cabin to the nearest trailhead. If you have your own off-road vehicle, bring it to experience Wayne National Forest.
You will follow forest covered, back roads until you reach our Pines Lodge that is nestled next to Sand Run Lake, 18,000+ acres of Wayne National Forest, and is situated on our 7-acre property with a private pond and a water wheel. Upon arrival, you are welcomed to beautiful views of the forest that will have you coming back for more. Being avid outdoor lovers, we hope you and your guests get to spend some quality time outdoors! Sip your morning coffee off the large deck overlooking the forest and listening to the nearby nature.

Spend the afternoon enjoying flamed grilled food from the grill. Partake in some catch and release fishing in the private pond on the lower portion of the property or at Sand Run Lake. Make sure you stroll over to Sand Run Lake Picnic area and wander into the forest filled with pine trees. If you have a hammock, we recommend bringing it so you can fall asleep amongst the trees.

There is a newly renovated gravel firepit with wooden benches and Adirondack chairs for you and your guests to create memories of a lifetime around the campfire. You can end your night by relaxing and unwinding in the warm Jacuzzi. Before heading to bed, make sure you and your guests check out the beautiful starry night sky because that’s not something you get to experience all the time.

A great spot for a family weekend getaway

We had a great time exploring Hockings Hills area from this ‘home base.’ The cabin was wonderful for our group, giving everyone space to spread out but a comfortable place to hang together, too.

Great property for a family vacation.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. We really enjoyed the swimming pool and deck. Large house was very accommodating for our large family with enough beds and table room for everyone. It is a bit of a drive to Hocking Hills from here but that wasnt really a big problem.

Hocking Hills Hiking

This was a great place to stay for a family of hikers. Spent time hiking at Hocking Hills State Park and Lake Hope State Park. The house was centrally located between these parks. We hike in the morning, swim in the afternoon and then grill-out in the evening. Great times! The free WIFI was very handy as our phones had no signal on the Verizon network.

Had a great time. The pond was not able to be fished easily and it would’ve helped to have a kayak.

The Kaisers

We had a great family vacation. Due to the warm weather, the pool was a total hit with the whole gang! The hot tub wasn't working but someone came out as soon as I informed them that it had all drained out. We were not going to use it anyway. The evenings around the campfire and the smores over the fire were wonderful. Thank you so much!

Everything you need plus a little more!

I checked in online and thought the process was great. I didn’t realize I needed to stop by the business and go over paperwork and pick up the key. A little miscommunication when the cell service is spotty.my daughter stopped on her way to the property and handled everything and was just fine. Beautiful property! The cabin was stocked and immaculately clean. Very private and great setting. The hot tub should have been completely drained and cleaned. We did use the grill, fire ring, oven, and stove. The kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, and everything you need. Beds were perfect, The smart tv had every channel imaginable. Great get away.

The email didn’t tell us where to get the key. The signage was non existent. There was a large old cobweb on the ceiling, and in the deer head, thick dust on the TV stand. The hot tub was very good. Mmm

Kitchen well equipped, pool table fun, beds not good, bunks too close to ceiling for teens, wall patches incomplete, balconies and decks uncleaned and ill repair. Lots of basic maintenance needed. Enough towels but extremely worn. We still had fun but it was not up to the usual level we expect on VRBO.

Inside was clean for what the cleaners had to work with. It needs a fresh paint job on the inside and especially on the outside!!!! Game room in basement had a damp feeling. The one bed squeaked so bad every time you moved it was impossible to sleep in. Hot tub was fixed on Thur afternoon when we were leaving on Fri.so didn't get much use by the time it warmed up to 100. Weather didn't allow us to use pool. Overall not impressed and felt the owners have no pride in the property, I won"t go back.

Lack of communication

I emailed several times and called just to receive 1 email back from 1st Choice Property Management. We stayed from Sunday to Friday and I received the email on Tuesday with no further communication from them. We had some problems with the House 1. Leak in refrigerator (looked at couldn’t fix) 2. Bathroom upstairs no hot water (they did fix this) 3. Bedroom downstairs couldn’t use lights something wrong with switch could be a potential fire hazard. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. They do need to update some appliances. The location was great close to the caves and other activities in the area.

Amazing stay!

We had the most amazing time here! The pictures show a swing set, but there is no swing set, and the property manager was very clear and upfront about that, which I greatly appreciate! And, other than that, the only downside was there were a few things we needed to clean up when we got there, but it was no big deal! They talked to us through our stay to check on us! The hot tub worked perfectly! The property is huge, and priced very well! The communication with the manager was amazing! This place is our new favorite place in the Hocking Hills area, and we will DEFINITELY stay here again! Thank you guys so much!

We loved our time! The cabin was just what we needed - plenty of space for everyone, lots of outdoor room to roam and play if we didn’t want to drive for a longer hike. We will definitely be coming back to this property!
