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.

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 place was very very clean which we appreciate. We had two major faults with the property. The first issue is the beds. The metal framed beds, sag excessively in the middle, even before you get into the bed. Once you lay in bed, it sags even further. That sag A LOT. One person cannot sleep comfortably and two is even worse. The wood bunkbed sways significantly when someone is on the top bunk. Those mattresses, thankfully did not sag, but were overly firm. The second big concern is that something is crawling around and scratching in the walls of the main bedroom (under the stairs) and also up under the floor of the bathroom upstairs. It could be a raccoon or squirrel-something like that. Lou’s enough to wake me in the middle of the night. Although the location isn’t the best, it was fine for our needs. It would be a perfect location for those doing the ATV and outdoor trails.

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.

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.

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.

Unaddressed Safety Concern

The cabin itself is represented in the pictures. It's a nice dual-level with plenty of sleeping space, located a short, pleasant drive from Nelsonville. But our stay was not very peaceful.Our first night my 8-year-old and I saw sparks coming from an outlet. I was able to kill the breaker (also the WiFi and AC upstairs). We aren't able to reach anyone by phone, so we stayed an uneasy night. We were able to call the hosts in the morning. I elected to leave the power off while we went for a hike.Maintenance came in the afternoon. He checked that the outlet had current, plugged in the powerstrip, and said it was fine. He wasn't worried about the sparks. Right after he left, another large spark came from the outlet. We called the host back, but didn't get any real info.At about 1700, the outlet began smoking. I shut it off and we again called the host. I checked behind the faceplate of the discolored outlet and found significant burning. We decided to pack up and leave, and I shut down the main power when we left. We were offered to be moved to another location, but we wanted to go home after the situation. I asked for a refund for 1 night. This seemed more than fair considering we potentially saved the property from a serious tragedy. That request was ignored. Between that and the lack of reaction or appropriate level of concern, I would not recommend 1st Choice Lodging.

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.
