About this property
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 !

My wife and I have been staying at VRBOs for many years, often with our children and grandchildren. This particular rental is one of the nicest we have ever experienced. It was very clean and included many amenities. It was warm and cozy, a perfect home away from home. Tom and Aine were very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely consider this particular rental again if we spend extended time in the area.

You had a busy schedule Glad you enjoyed your stay here. Thanks for choosing us.
This was the second time we have stayed here within the last year and it is always so perfect! The apartment is very clean, it has everything you need, and it is the most peaceful place I have ever stayed. They also have a lot of helpful information in the apartment such as hiking trails, bike trails, rafting, and restaurants in the area! We plan to return in the future! Thank you for another wonderful stay in your apartment!

The owners were very nice and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed.
We visited the area for the weekend to hike and stargaze and the apartment was absolutely perfect for our needs. It was impeccibly clean, stocked with coffee and tea, an assortment of snacks, travel toiletries, and helpful information about the area. The bed was firm and comfy and the hosts had extra blankets on hand for sleeping and for relaxing in the living room. It felt like they thought of everything- there were thoughtful touches like flashlights placed throughout the apartment and orange vests/hats in the closet for safe hiking. We found the property very easily and loved how peaceful and natural the setting was. Tom and Aine greeted us at arrival and departure and were genuinely kind and welcoming. There is no doubt that we'll stay at the apartment again when we return to the area!

We just got home from our stay on this property, and I can't say enough good things about it! From having the owner greet and welcome us as we arrived, to how warm and friendly he and his wife were, to how cozy the apartment was, it was the perfect 3 days that I had hoped for! The owner is very engaging to talk to, from his knowledge of the area, a little about the property and how this apartment came about, to the wildlife in the area. His wife had just returned from a trip, so I just met her this morning before we left, and I found her delightful! The furniture is so COMFORTABLE...... The apartment is impeccably clean. Lot's of little "extra's" around, which we really appreciated! It is approximately a 7 mile ride into the forest, which was beautiful! Wellsboro is about a 25 minute ride. I enjoyed sitting on the deck in the late afternoon reading my book and enjoying the beauty around me. So, if you can't tell, we thoroughly enjoy our stay at the Cozy Sand Rd apartment, and you will too!

Was great to see you again. Weather held up. See you next year.
Honestly, the place far exceeded our expectations. It was cozy, nice warm atmosphere, immaculately clean and neat -- very inviting. We could have stayed here all day. The views were beautiful, the owners very friendly and accommodating. Definitely will stay here again if we come back this way.
The apartment was even better than the pictures. It is located in a beautiful, peaceful, secluded, quiet area. It was clean and welcoming. The hosts thought of everything!!!
Tom and Aine's apartment was perfect. Impeccably clean with everything you need in a beautiful, quiet, wooded mountain top. We loved it and also appreciated their kindness and helpful suggestions! Would definitely recommend!
We loved staying in this at this lovely place in the woods. The interior was very comfortable and warm. Tom and Áine were incredible hosts and good company too!
Such a beautiful, quiet, comfortable place. The hosts were amazing and attentive. It was our 48th Anniversary and they gave us a gift bag of local treats.
The home was very clean and exactly as described. It’s in a beautiful, quiet, natural area. There are many outdoor adventures all around the area. The owners were nice and provided great communication.

Thanks for choosing us. So glad you enjoyed your stay here. Really glad you got to do all that you set out to do. Hope to see you both again some day !
Our second time here and it's as lovely as the first time. Very picturesque surroundings and a beautiful quaint, clean and spacious apartment for two. The hosts could not be more friendly and gracious. They are very knowledgeable about the area and can answer any questions and make great suggestions about where to go and what to do. We look forward to our next trip here!
