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 !

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.

Homey Stay

This property is about 25 minutes from Wellsboro but the drive is beautiful. We were able to get to the Rail Trail near Darling Run pretty easily from here. The accomodations are perfect and lots of homey touches! Hosts were hospitible and friendly!

July 4th Getaway

When you see so many perfect ratings on the place you are staying for a few days, it kind of gets you more excited to visit the apartment than the sites of the area. And while the PA Grand Canyon is a great escape loaded with peace and tranquility, our return each day to the spotless and cute apartment specially designed for a comfortable stay in the PA Wilds was top notch. Our hosts couldn’t be nicer. Tom and Aine make sure we had everything we could possibly need. It was fun interacting with them and their dogs too. They live on the property but like everything else, it was set up with a lot of forethought giving everyone privacy. Trust me if you want a great place to kick back, relax and enjoy a wonderful natural setting - this is the place. Thanks so much!

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.

2nd Stay Just as Great as First

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!

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.

We had the most amazing stay at Tom & Aine's place. They made us feel right at home from the second we arrived. Tom had several maps of the trails and canyon information that was very helpful. Aine gave us great suggestions for dining and things to do. The town of Wellsboro was adorable and the people were very friendly everywhere we went. The apartment was perfect for two and had everything we could have needed or wanted, from books & movies to snacks and toiletries. They thought of everything. BUT my #1 thing about this apartment was how flawlessly clean it was!!!! We only had two days to explore, so we will be back and will definitely stay at Tom & Aine's place again.

Immaculate, Cozy & Private Getaway

My partner and I loved this property! We're already talking about returning, perhaps in the fall, to see more sights.Our first impression was that the grounds are spacious, beautiful, and very-well kept. The rental unit is an apartment over the owner's garage, which is separate from the house, so it feels very private."Cozy" is exactly the right word for this apartment. It's perfect for a quiet, romantic getaway. As soon as we opened the door we could tell how clean it was - it smelled fresh and new, not musty like some places we've stayed. Every inch was absolutely immaculate. At the top of the stairs, the space opens to a small kitchen and a nice size living room with comfy seating. The kitchen table features trail maps and information about local attractions, and the owners provide flashlights, walking sticks, and orange vests and hats for hiking through the woods during hunting season. (Oh! And there's a washer/dryer off the kitchen!) The bedroom is calm and the bath has a full-size shower, which I was not expecting! Tom and Áine are both friendly and extremely responsive to all questions. I texted when we arrived and Áine came out in the rain to greet us and give us the code to the apartment. My partner wanted to take night sky photos, so we asked if some outdoor lights could be turned off for a couple hours one night and Tom was happy to accommodate us.Before we left, both Tom and Áine stopped by to chat and see us off. They truly made us feel right at home.

beautiful cabin

The cabin was beautiful, the property owners are on site and very welcoming, including their 4 dogs we was able to meet.the cabin had everything you needed and more. They also included some tourist information and maps. you have no neighbors to worry about, it is a beautiful country setting and only about 15-20 minutes from the town of wellsborro. Great area to see wildlife too, we seen deer which included a 6pt buck in velvet and a doe and her fawn, we also seen turkeys.
