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.

It was a nice place. But pictures need to be updated. There was no play set. Also the grill is rusted very very badly and is unusable.

Worth the price for sure but could use some attention

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin is two stories and very spacious. The good: *Clean and cozy *large smart TV upstairs *kitchen has pots,pans, utensils *Price is very fair *AC is cold *good wifi *spacious and comfortable *hot tub works but needs cleaning The bad: *Only one tv works downstairs. *The outdoor grill needs a lot of attention and was not usable for us *it is on a main road that an ATV tour passes through so you will hear them driving around *not as secluded as the listing appears. There are neighbors and cars driving by. Overall, I would recommend staying here for the price and value. I have the same little complaints as the other reviewers so hopefully they correct those small issues. I would stay here again.

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.

Sandy Run

The cabin was very pretty. There were a few things that didn't work properly, the one that was the worst was the hot tub. Only 2 of the jets worked and the temperature did not get to the highest heat which made it impossible to enjoy. The stove had only one working burner and one of the TVs would not work in the main bedroom. We chose our cabin based on price including the hot tub so that was disappointing but we may return amd do a little more research, and ask more questions. I did enjoy spending time with my parents and husband. We ultimately had a great time.

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!

Cleanliness

The cabin was fine, however the cleaning was not up to par. The cabin sleeps 6, however does not accommodate 6 people when eating or trying to enjoy a movie on the Tv in the evening. More seating is needed for both dining, there were only 3 chairs at the table and a couch and loveseat in the living room. Bedrooms were fine. The hot tub only had one jet working. There were moldy coffee grounds in the coffemaker, stale and moldy bread and popcorn left in the microwave. Dirty socks and water bottles left under the bed and food in one of the dresser drawers. There were only two working burners on the stove and there was a grill but no propane. The carpet in the living area was curled up on one side where if you were not careful you could trip. However, like I said the cabin itself was nice and cozy.

Great stay, could use updates

We had a wonderful time all around, however, the air conditioners in bedrooms could be replaced due to mold and mildew, or need a thorough cleaning. The hot tub worked great but is quite old (could use replaced) The top really needs to be replaced, at the very least. The house was very clean and we enjoyed the small deck and coziness inside.

Little far from Hocking Hills

House was ok, nothing fancy. It was about 20-30 minute drive just to get to a grocery, restaurant or any trail. We couldn't get the BBQ to work. Hot tub was just ok. Only one bathroom for 5 people.

Great cabin

The cabin was ideal for our needs. Even though we had to go upstairs to the bathroom from our bedroom it was not a big issue. We enjoyed the hot tub. The upstairs is cozy and allows you to sit around and talk in comfort. The cabin was clean and well organized. A great place to stay.

Nice little cabin for New Years celebration

Was a great stay for me and a few friends. Cabin looks better in person and it had a nice upstairs living area and downstairs bedding area. The hottub was the cherry on top. The WiFi was pretty bad and there was no LTE, but that is kind of to be expected when staying out there in the country. Overall, it was a great little getaway spot for New Years and I would revisit.
