I really enjoyed my stay it was a really nice place. My only complaint is the outlets in the bedrooms are on the opposite wall of the bed so I would suggest bringing extension cords for that.

Amazing value for the price. Sort of a strange smell in the lower bedrooms, and the hot tub didn't work the greatest, but the upper living area was perfect. Beautiful location, nice and quiet area, and plenty of sleeping space. Would definitely recommend a stay.

The second room has no AC nor fan! Hot tub not fully working. No dishwasher, the only bathroom is very tiny for 6 guest (max occupancy), porch at the back was not swept, full of debris. Plenty of towels, clean kitchen, clean living room and bedrooms. Tiny tv and only in the living room. Location is right on the secindary riad. Paid too much for the location and accomodation.

The images were a little misleading. I was under the impression that the cabin was a bit more remote than it actually was. We did have a nice visit from one of the neighbors who lived across the street. Overall the cabin would be nice for a family who are not looking for grown up time.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us at our Sandy Run cabin. We're glad you enjoyed parts of your stay and we hope you enjoyed your time in the area. The listing has a map plug in towards the bottom of the page that can be really useful for seeing the surrounding area. Keep in mind we have about 40 different properties in the Hocking Hills area so chances are we'd have another property you'd like even more! Thank you for staying with us and we hope to host you sometime again in the future.

Thomas, we feel as if this review isn't just. You traveled to our cabin after hours and on the day of your arrival the entire area was impacted by a widespread power outage due to a fallen tree. This was completely out of our control as it was caused by mother nature. We ended up resolving the situation for your group so your statement about us not helping solve this issue is false. Power outages impact us just as much as they do our guests.

Sandy run was a nice get away and the price was very reasonable. Limited space for dogs but we were walking the trails at ash cave and old man’s cave. It wasn’t quite a remote as I thought it would be. Took in a few shops in the area and I think the slingshot looks like it would be a fun ride for anyone looking for adventure. Air conditioners go. In windows so if you have a warm spell you will need to open the windows and no screens. Overall a nice getaway for my honey and the fur babies.
