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 !
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned apartment, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker, and housekeeping is provided on a limited basis.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

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!

This was the most quaint and cozy beautiful "little" apartment we could have ever found. The location is gorgeous. It was so clean and had everything you could ever need and more. The hosts were so friendly, gracious and knowledgeable about the area and made our trip extra special. This is the perfect weekend getaway spot or a week in the country. Definitely recommend and would definitely stay there again.

Great late summer stay
Spent long weekend at Tom and Aine’s place. It’s a beautiful property. Perfect for two people, clean and well appointed. Went into Wellsboro for dinners. Drove up to Watkins Glen (1 1/4 hr) and hiked the glen, worth the ride.

Easy to feel at home here
I lucked upon this apartment for a work-related stay but feel so comfortable and at home here, I'll return just for leisure time when I need a personal retreat. The area offers many opportunities for exploring, and can't wait to do more of that. The property location is just the right amount off the beaten path. The views outside are picturesque and serene, and the inside is pristine and so well-crafted. The hosts, Tom and Aine, have a special knack for creating this quaint, comfortable, and restful space -- a craftsman-meets-rustic vibe -- with lots of lovely little details. They are lovely people, and so are the pooches and cats.

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.

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!!
