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.

The property was perfect for our family. It rained the entire time we were there however we still made the best of it. We made several memories with the kids and the grandkids cooked dinner and breakfast together. Enjoyed the pool for a few hours. It didn’t rain loved the back deck. We all sat out and just talked to played games and enjoyed each other‘s company. The house was spacious. The kitchen was equipped with everything essential we needed the game room in the basement was nice. The kids enjoyed that, all in all. We had a great stay! The washer and dryer was great so we were able to wash and dry towels. It was very nice. One of the host came up to the cabin when we were checking out to let us know that some roads had flooded and gave us directions for an alternate route. He was very nice and we appreciate that he went out of his way to make sure we had a safe And effective way to get out. We will definitely be back. We did do a Kroger delivery order when we first arrived at the cabin however, a few things were unavailable so just a short drive we were able to go to Kroger not far from the cabin to grab a few things that we needed that weren’t in the delivery. The property is beautiful and I can’t wait to return when the rain isn’t in the forecast however we did venture out and check out all that we could while we could!
Low-key bachelorette party with my dog! Fun place to stay for a short trip away for the weekend.

The temperature in the house got up to 78 degrees on our second night and when we tried to use the air conditioning, it was not working. While the hot tub water was fresh, there were no chemicals in the water. There was a cockroach on the kitchen floor on our first morning, along with mouse poop in one of the kitchen drawers. There were ants (most likely carpenter ants) in multiple parts of the house. The rails on top of all the bunk beds kept falling off. There were not window dressings on many of the upstairs bedroom windows. The kitchen sink pipe was leaking. The wood on the deck was hazardous. While we enjoyed our time in Hocking Hills, and we did enjoy the fire pit and outside part of the property, we were disappointed in the house and the money we paid for it.
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.
Very nice property and very clean everything was amazing the entire family was happy with the stay specially the kids they had a lot of fun playing in snowboarding. Thank you again

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
This location is close to many walking trails. It's also pet friendly and very clean. We have stayed there a couple of times and communication with the property manager is easy.
Everything was amazing! Property was so secluded, and so much to do! Also, so close to Hocking Hills park with beautiful views! We enjoyed ourselves so much!
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.
