I own 10 acres of land surrounded by farmers. We used to raise chickens and make big gardens every years, but my husband had health issues and we pretty much stopped. My husband has since passed away and I find that this property is getting too big for me. The best part about my place in my opinion is that it is mostly trees and very natural, and of course that there is a nice lake called Long island lake 15 minute drive from my home. It's fenced all around and extremely private. Big from yard for sports and lots of natural beauty all around.

3 nights at Sterando Acres Glamping

Myself and my three young kiddos had an amazing time at Sterando Acres. My boys loved seeing the chickens, cows and the frogs in the pond. We booked a movie night and that was a blast. Our hosts were kind and helpful and our accomodations were lovely too. My boys are already asking when we are going back!

The rv was well kept and beautiful. The fridge was broken but they provided an extra cooler in lieu so that caused no panic. You get free firewood to start and we paid $20 for an extra load (which was massive). Will definitely go back.

Weekend Trip to Sterando Acres Glamping

We loved our stay at Sterando Acres! It was easy to find, far enough away from the city without being too far. Our yurt contained everything we needed and more! The add-on options available are well worth it. We highly recommend the guided nature foray, it was educational and fun, plus you get to keep what you forage. Watching a projector movie fireside, under the stars was quite enjoyable and the artisan style popcorn + s'mores were delicious. If you’re looking for a place to make great memories you’ve found it.
