The Pines Lodge is near and dear to our hearts because it is one of the first properties we added to our portfolio. The moment we saw the picturesque views of Sand Run Lake, the surrounding pine forest, and the two private ponds – we instantly fell in love with the property. We wanted other people to be able to experience Hocking Hills and Wayne National Forest just like we have been able to. Here you can create the perfect intimate getaway, start a family tradition, or host a large family gathering. We completely renovated the inside of this cabin and continue to update the property so our guests can enjoy Hocking Hills like never before.

Our 8-person White Tail sits on the same 7-acre property with the Pines Lodge. Our 6-person Sandy Run Cabin is located just down the road. You can rent all three properties for a large group getaway! Make sure you contact us about booking all three cabins for a large group getaway!

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.

Guest Reviews

The Pines was an amazing place to stay. We loved the seclusion of the property especially with the winter snow falling. It’s in close proximity to hiking locations. We found the cabin to be clean and comfy.

Erin Lea E January-2021

Very beautiful and almost private property in the middle of rolling hocking hills area. Just 6 miles away from the Kroger and restaurants. Check in process at the town general store was very easy. Everything was clean and well maintained at the cabin. They also shipped back my stuff which we forgot at the cabin. The sand run pond was very small and not that suitable for fishing. The hills behind the cabin was good for morning hike. Internet worked great and the hot tub was fully functional and clean.

Close to town... but in a world of its own... lovely location and beautiful view and hot tub was wonderful... will come again

Lynn A October-2020

Very good size for our party of 8. Property and house was in good clean condition. This house certainly could use updates, but beds and furniture were comfortable and functional. Nice secluded location, with easy 20-30 minute drive to most hiking locations we wanted to use. Internet worked fine. Check in was easy and friendly

Steve A October-2020

We had a great stay. Wish we would have booked more time. We plan to be back for longer in the spring.It gave off the vibe of being secluded, but, we were only 20 minutes from Walmart and fast food. The hot tub was the star of the show.
