About this property

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.

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 loved our time! The cabin was just what we needed - plenty of space for everyone, lots of outdoor room to roam and play if we didn’t want to drive for a longer hike. We will definitely be coming back to this property!
