About this property

Sandy Run Cabin-Hot Tub, Hocking Hills, WNF, more

A unique feature about the Sandy Run Cabin 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 trail-head. If you have your own off-road vehicle, bring it to experience Wayne National Forest.
Travel down the road to visit Sand Run Lake and our “lower pond,” both great options for catch and release fishing. Visit Sand Run Lake Picnic Area to get lost in the forest filled with pine trees. If you have a hammock, we recommend bringing it so you can fall asleep amongst the trees. The newly renovated gravel fire pit with wooden benches and tables is great 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 is not something you get to experience all the time.

The absolute best features of the Sandy Run Cabin include all the outdoor features. Being avid outdoor lovers, we hope you and your guests get to spend some quality time outdoors! After waking up, sit on the back deck to gaze into the forest and listen to the nearby nature. Spend the afternoon enjoying flamed grilled food from the grill.

The cabin was on an intersection with no room for it to be dog friendly. Also we had children throwing rocks at our windows and cars and there is no cameras for us to be able to catch them. We ran out of trash bags and there were no extras for us so we had to go buy them. Also the hot tub was very dirty and unkept. The mattresses definitely need to be replaced SOON.

Great visit

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! It's comfortable, inviting and has everything one needs to relax and enjoy a wonderful stay. The staff at the general store was very friendly and very receptive to our comments/suggestions upon our checkout. It's far enough away from tourist hubbub yet close enough to easily access Hocking Hills State Park. We would definitely return to this property and encourage others to consider enjoying this cabin as well.

Nice little family getaway

Clean, comfortable for a family of 6, loved the hot tub, check in was a little inconvenient for us as we didnt know till a few days before that we had to be there by 6pm or a late fee would be charged so we had to rush to get there. Other than that great trip cute house.

Will definitely use this property management company again. Just not this cabin

The property rental company was awesome, this particular house is just on a fairly busy road. It’s also very close to atv trailheads, so we had quads running past our place literally all night long, both nights. But great rental if you’re coming to do some night riding!

Cabin in the hills

We enjoyed our stay at sandy run cabin. There were a few minor issues. The TV didn't work in bedroom #1 we contacted the rental agency but it didn't get resolved. The location isn't as private as we imagined but it was still nice. All in all it was a cozy lil cabin that was perfect for just the two of us.
