Cozy Sand Rd. Apartment next to Tioga State Forest Close to Grand Canyon of Pa

Sand Road Apartment is on a dirt road that passes thru Tioga State Forest. This is a wild area of Pennsylvania. The apartment is constructed and on the second floor of a garage seperat from the owners residence. A carpeted stairway leads to the kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom (shower) . Couples or singles are welcomed at the Sand Road apartment. A nice location to begin many activities from. Hike the trails across the road. Consult the Tioga State Forest map or a local trail guidebook and you will find a variety of beautiful hikes. Head down the mountain to the Rails To Trails bike trail for some flat bicycle riding thru some of the nicest scenery anywhere including The Grand Canyon Of Pennsylvania. Pine Creek nearby offers good trout fishing in the spring or canoeing, kayaking or white water rafting with the outfitters. Lakes nearby offer good fishing in all seasons. You will not be far from the town of Wellsboro. Whether its dining , entertainment (surprisingly good at The Deane Center ), shopping or just sitting on the town green, you balance your stay with a little getting back to civilization. You also have the option of easy highway access (roughly an hour north ) to tour Corning, Watkins Glenn, or the wine country around the Finger Lakes. Golf courses are reasonably close. Also it is worthy to note a number of annual activities held. The "Green Monster" running race passes thru the forest across the road from here in addition to mountain bike races. Driving thru the forest, you may see a variety of wildlife including deer, turkey, bears, coyote (mostly you just hear them at night) bobcats (maybe a fleeting glimpse) and grouse, chipmunks etc. The apartment sets on the second floor of a garage separate from the owners residence. There is a deck to relax on and a fire pit. If you have come on a motorcycle you are welcome to park in the shed over nite. Again , note the apartment is on the second floor. A carpeted stairway leads to the kitchen, living room, bedroom,, bathroom (shower), and laundry room (washer,dryer, and slop sink ). We welcome everyone including nature lovers, hikers, bicyclists, motorcyclists, hunters, fishermen, snowmobilers, canoers and kayakers. Make this your home away from home !

Perfect little apartment near PA Grand Canyon
This is a wonderful place to stay, with easy access to Wellsboro, PA, the Grand Canyon, and interesting back roads of northern PA. Tom and Aine are welcoming and helpful. The apartment has everything that one needs and there is also a little deck for outdoor lounging and a fire pit. After busy days, it was like coming home to return to the apartment in the evenings.

Cozy Sand road
Tom and Anja were wonderful hosts! Cozy sand road is a perfect title to this Vrbo rental. We had the most amazing time on our fishing trip and having this place to stay made it perfect and stress free. Super accommodating, knowledgeable and personable. They made sure you had everything you needed to be comfortable. Inside the Tioga State forest and the most relaxing and beautiful property! We will absolutely be staying here again!

We love staying at the Sand Rd. Apartment. This was our second stay here. Even though we had some bad weather it was still a good get-away. Tom and Aine are great and thoughtful hosts. They are full of knowledge about the area. The apartment is clean and comfortable. We love the peace and quiet of the area. We will be back!

Amazing Place! Off the beaten path! WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
So many great things to say about our stay, lets start with the owners. Tom & Aine are some of the nicest and informative owners. The apartment is well taken care of as if it was their own home, everything you could ask for in a weekend getaway. Tom even pulled out the grill for us to use. They have thought of literally everything you might need, even things often forgotten. We have already booked our next stay with them. Would highly recommend - Jamie & Josh

The perfect little getaway!
This spot was a little piece of paradise tucked in a forest! The hosts went above and beyond and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Snacks for hiking. A full basket of toiletries. An immaculate apartment. The fire pit was ready for us, filled with wood. They even guided us through some of the local trails. This was a trip my husband and I will never forget. We hope to get back soon!

Wellsboro trip
My husband and I usually stay in Wellsboro , but saw the VRBO add and couldn’t resist. The place was about 8 miles off the main road, we got there about 20 minutes before check in. We pulled in the long drive and Aine Byrne was coming out to greet us. I can’t say enough about our visit for our wedding anniversary. Everything was perfect . The apartment was top notch. Clean and so beautifully decorated. The mattress was comfortable and the apartment was well stocked with snacks, coffee and water. Aine and Tom were so hospitable and we enjoyed talking with them. They have 3 loving Dogs that you will fall in love with. We did the trail through the woods across the road and the pipeline access road. We will definitely be back for another visit.

Beautiful Stay
Our goal was to have a relaxing long weekend, explore the region, and do that with a clean, comfortable place to call "home". The cozy Sand Road Apartment did all of those things. Clean... is an understatement. It was immaculate. Everything that we needed was there, and there was even a supply of coffee, snacks, and water when we arrived. The site is beautiful! On top of a mountain, where the only sound at night is the air through the trees. Waking in the morning was so relaxing... cup of coffee, sitting out on the deck, just enjoying the sweet fresh air. Tom and Aine, the hosts are wonderfully warm, easy to talk to people. I can't say enough about how I enjoyed our conversations, and all of their hospitality. Thank you, we'll be back!!

Quiet, peaceful, comfort
Had a wonderful 2-night stay at this apartment. Tom and Aine are great hosts, the grounds are beautiful, such a quiet peaceful area, even loved the covered road drive into the place. The apartment itself is clean, comfortable, and well stocked...... nice kitchen, bathroom, comfortable bed.... perfection. Tom and Aine supplied everything we needed and more. We had some issues with the TV signal and Tom went that extra mile to try and fix it. He said this will no longer be a problem when they get broadband out there so future guests should have a flawless experience. I wish we had spent more time there, but this was just one stop on an 8-week road trip. Couldn't be happier, and I would love to return here someday. Thanks again to Tom and Aine, you made us feel so welcome.

tranquil getaway, nature lovers dream
This was the most spotless stay we have ever had. The host and hostess are extremely thoughtful and made sure to make us feel welcome, but were careful to also allow us the privacy we wanted for our anniversary getaway. Perfect balance! Anything we needed this place had. We forgot our hotdog forks, and they got some right to us! Loved the private campfire area and porch with rockers. Beautiful view with deer and song birds. Even the flowers and landscaping were perfect. Extremely well cared for. It is a bit away from the biggest town of Wellsboro so plan on driving or cooking here. We did a bit of both. This is the place to bring a book and reconnect with nature. Day trips to Watkins Glen, Finger Lakes, wineries were wonderful. Local canyon and Pine Creek were also fantastic. Even a horse ride close by.. Perfect place if this is the type of vacation you are looking for. Thank you so much!! You have a stunning place!

Relaxing and picturesque
Aine and Tom are terrific hosts. Simply delightful! The apartment had everything we needed for a 3 night stay. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed was comfortable with the softest sheets and pillows. We visited Wellsboro, enjoyed some retail therapy, biked in the PA Grand Canyon, sat on the side porch and enjoyed the quiet afternoon. We saw a bobcat on one of the dirt roads. It was one of the highlights of our trip. We enjoyed hot chocolate while watching a movie one evening. Tom shared lots of good stories and Aine greeted us, along with her 2 dogs and a cat whenever we ventured out in the morning and again whenever we came back. She was always making sure we had what we needed. The temperature dipped down into the 30's our last night there and we were very comfortable. The apartment is well insulated and so very cozy. Why would anybody stay in a hotel in Wellsboro when this apartment is just a short drive out of town? We will definitely be back again. Thank you Aine, Tom, Wylie and Amber (the pups)

A Perfect Getaway!
We wanted to have a weekend away (we're from Philly) for our anniversary. We have visited Wellsboro before and decided to go back again. We found this Cozy Sands Road place and thought it would be perfect to be our in the country AND close to Wellsboro. We were SO happy with this rental. First, it was SO clean! I am pretty sure I have never stayed in such a clean property. They took time for all the welcoming amenities. Tom and Aine were so warm and welcoming. And they had lots of ideas of places for us to hike. We will be back again next year!
