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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

Beautiful setting
The location is nice and quiet and beautiful trees surround the property. O for table for our family of 9- 5 adults and 4 children. Kitchen has many pans, but some were well used but enough. There were plenty of towels, toilet paper etc. we did have some issues like the pool was dirty but they sent someone out the next day. Alas the hot tub is still broken! I think it should be removed from listing. But any issue was addressed quickly via email, which was appreciated. All in all we had a good time here

3 major things that needs addressed- pool made the say worth it.
I emailed the people directly about all my concerns but the 3 major things that need fixed and addressed before I return is - First the housekeepers need to check under rugs and sweep and mop better- there was a lot of dog food and hair and dust under the big rug underneath the big dining room table Second the hot tub just needs replaced- I saw before booking that there was issues but it’s beyond repair just cause both screens didn’t work one was taped up and the other didn’t do anything- if it’s a amenity that is advertised and I’m sure raises the price of the property it should be working at its full potential. Lastly the upstairs shower needs fixed majorly! One of my girls tried to take a shower and the cold Nob fell off and we couldn’t get the water to shut off even by putting the nob back on- we think it’s stripped out or something. Then the tub kept filling up and finally we just had to figure out where the main shut off was on the other side of the wall in the main room upstairs. This could have caused lots of water damage to the property let alone not a good experience for the person who finds the problem. Other than these 3 main things that are easily fixable if they take the time to just fix it. Me and my girls had a good time playing games we brought and swimming in the pool - if it wasn’t for the nice pool then it wouldn’t be worth it much.

Ok Cabin
Pros: Enough space for everyone. Grounds do not have steep hills that are too difficult to navigate. Cons: Beds are more like full size, not queen. No swingset, as pictures show. No “waterpark”, as advertised. Hot tub water was dirty. Hot tub cover is literally duct taped together. Jets / lights don’t work (more duct tape over the top panels). Hornets nest at woods entryway; glad only 1 adult was stung and none of the kids! Need to check in and check out by picking up a key at the main office; no contact-less check in. We didn’t let the state of the cabin ruin our time, but it def needs some love and attention.

Solid location and nice property but hot tub doesn’t work…
Stayed 3 nights/4 days As far as the actual property, it was pretty clean and a nice house. However, prior to staying I read reviews about the hot tub not warming up and even after the maintnence came and checked it, it never warmed up past 88. Our family was really disappointed in this as it was the main reason we paid for an expensive property,
