47mi from Orchard Park · 10 sites · LodgingWelcome to Stergelandia-the place you want when you need it most!
Experience open fields, dark skies and forest deep in Amish country!
You deserve time to reset and reconnect. With this in mind, we designed and created quiet, contemplative spaces for you to walk, rest and reflect.
A peaceful place, enjoy our small, restored apple orchard surrounding the garden, the chapel, cabana deck and try the observation platform!
Benches and hammocks are found throughout the property: there is plenty of space for you to enjoy the quiet serenity of an overnight in the countryside. Our garden is perfect for intimate ceremonies & an excellent place to gather under the sun and stars.
A remote setting, you’re close enough to feel at home but deep enough in the woods to get away from it all.
Need more excitement? Stergelandia is teeming with life! Nightly, hear the frogs and the howl of the coyotes! We’ve seen deer, foxes, turkeys, hawks, chipmunks and bear on the property-a wildlife lovers paradise! We are 9 minutes from the Genesee River access point where fishing and paddling is plentiful!
