About this apartment rental
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 !

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!

This is a lovely unit with high quality construction. The kitchen had just what we needed and the availability of a washer and dryer became very useful with the rainy weekend that we experienced. The setting is quite lovely - wooded and remote. It was about 25 minutes from Wellsboro. The bed was very comfortable and the host was excellent with communication.

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.

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!
