Welcome to our Sandy Run Cabin located at the corner of a charming, quaint, ATV friendly neighborhood. Here, you are seconds away from Sand Run Lake, where you can spend time getting lost among pine trees. The cabin itself is budded up against 18,000+ acres of Wayne National Forest where our guests can explore the untouched woods. You are centrally located to all Athens, Logan, and Nelsonville which allows you to explore all of Southeast, Ohio! Our guests are minutes from Old Man’s Cave, Cedar Falls, Ash Cave, Ohio University, and countless state lakes. Come explore, experience, and enjoy the great outdoors and the beautiful rolling hills of Hocking Hills and Wayne National Forest at 1st Choice Cabin Rentals.

You will follow forest covered, back roads until you reach our Sandy Run Cabin. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed to a two-story cabin with an “Ohio” shaped firepit and spacious yard. The cabin sits on the corner of a quaint neighborhood and offers plenty of privacy for our guests. The cabin is cozy, comfortable, and inviting making you feel like you are staying at a home away from home.

There are 2 spacious bedrooms that allow our guests to rest after a long day of exploring nearby state parks. The living room offers a great space for you to relax, snuggle up next to the electric fireplace, and watch some movies. There is a fully equipped kitchen, with all the necessary amenities for a getaway to the hills!

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.

The Sandy Run Cabin is near and dear to our hearts because it is one of the first properties we added to our portfolio along with the White Tail Cabin and Pines Lodge. 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 and our 12-person Pines Lodge are located on the same 7-acre property right 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 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.

When you rent the Sandy Run Cabin, you are renting a complete experience. We like to show our guests how much we appreciate them. Our guests receive a 10% discount on their next outdoor adventure at Adventure Pro Outdoors.

Was not happy
The cabin was fine, however the cleaning was something to be desired. I left most of my complaints with your staff when I checked out and she typed them all in the computer. I did forget to let her know that the hot tub was not working properly, it only had one jet working. I would not recommend this cabin to others unless the cleanliness gets a whole lot better.

owner Owner's reply: Hi Linda, thank you for staying with us at Sandy Run Cabin! I'm sad to hear you were not satisfied with the cleanliness, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Our cleaning team works hard to give guests the best stay possible, we appreciate you letting us know the ways we can improve for a better experience. We do encourage guests to reach out with any issues during their stay so we can help provide assistance. We hope to host you again at 1st Choice Lodging!

Very nice!
It was a very pleasant stay. The cabin has all you need. Rooms were very clean. Kitchen was perfect. I was really hoping to use the hot tub but it was not clean, it has stain all over. 12 minutes away from local area.

owner Owner's reply: Hi Tatiana, thank you for staying with us at Sandy Run cabin! I'm happy to hear you had a good stay and found everything you needed in the cabin. I'm sorry to hear you had an issue with the hot tub, our maintenance staff does service and clean the hot tub on the day of all new guests arrivals. However, if guests experience any issues during their stay we do encourage giving us a call so we can help find a solution. We hope to host you again soon!

Sandy Run cabin
We were looking for a last minute cabin, and 1st Choice Cabins immediately responded to our inquiry. The cabin was wonderfully decorated, and literally had everything we needed, from bedding and towels to anything you need in the kitchen. The hot tub was wonderful to sit in at night and look at the stars. And we enjoyed visits from the neighbors cute, friendly doggies! On a side note, we blew a tire while driving to Lake Hope. If you need help, Dana's Tire Center in Nelsonville was fantastic!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much. The cabin was lovely and felt like home away from home. It was wonderful we were so close to the local attractions. The weather was perfect and we had a wonderful time celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary. We will definately return for another visit. Thanks for a great time.

Sandy Run cabin
We really enjoyed the cabin and the beautiful scenery. Our only negatives were, we wished the cabin was further from the street and that the front entry way was a little bigger. Trying to get in and be mindful of not bringing in snow and mulch was a little challenging. Also we did not sleep in the master bedroom after the first night but chose to sleep on the sofas. The bed was very noisy and not comfortable at all. We were very impressed with how warm the cabin stayed in spite of the plunging t

Perfect
I really needed a break, so I grabbed some friends and we booked a cabin. We stayed at the Sandy Run cabin and it was so peaceful! We were right next to Wayne national forest, the river was close by for kayaking and they even have a livery for use! The cabin had two separate rooms and a furnished kitchen, even spices! The staff was so helpful and nice and available for anything we needed!
