Jennifer's space is amazing!! I had such a peaceful night sitting by the fire and watching the stars from the observation deck. The property is well maintained and the cabin was perfectly cozy for myself and my dog. I felt completely safe as a solo female traveler. I would definitely return!

The A frames at Sterglandia are comfortable and so serene! The land is beautiful and there are all sorts of birds and other wildlife to watch. The woods are fantastic for quiet contemplative walks and the meditation garden and chapel are lovely places for a necessary respite from the rest of the world.

My sister and I are avid campers and decided to give Stergelandia a try because it looked super cute. When we got there, our minds were blown at how adorable it actually is! We loved not having to pack a tent and realistically didn’t need to bring blankets, etc either because it was provided. Jen was in contact at all times making sure our stay was amazing and even came out to give us a tour herself. We stayed in Fri and it was within walking distance to the observation deck which was an added bonus. If you’re thinking about a weekend getaway, this is the place. Just book it!

Absolutely magical & peaceful property. Jennifer was a fantastic host, the property was exactly as described. Gave us a great chance to unplug and recharge. We most enjoyed the stunning views - especially the morning & evening sky. The rocking chairs & lounges under the observation deck were a great place to relax. We had fun exploring the trails on property. We also headed to Letchworth state park for some hiking & a swim. Our dinner cooked over the open fire was delish. We will definitely be back. The Gumdrop A-Frame was a perfect match to our style & made me smile each time we walked in & woke up there. Thanks again for sharing your slice of paradise Jennifer!!

Jennifer has created a beautiful space. I came up here from VA to explore an area I’ve never been to and also to take some solo time to myself. Got to see letchworth and Watkins glen state parks. I also journaled, created, and read. The land/camp/trip in general left me feeling inspired.
The other two camps on the property were empty during my stay and I really did have the feeling of being TRULY alone which I typically haven’t experienced when solo traveling as I usually stay at camp grounds with other people close by. However I still felt safe and comfortable. Lots of water available, as well as other items to use that you may need for your stay. Definitely be mindful of the bugs especially if your here peak summer like I was (you feel very much in the woods) but if you are someone who spends a lot of time outdoors then it shouldn’t be surprising for you. I did not have cell service (Verizon) but once I got back into the town of Angelica (less than a 10 min drive from camp) - I had good coverage.
If I find myself in the area again one day ~ I would definitely stay again.

Jennifer was the perfect host for our first ever Hipcamp. Her property is beautiful and the work she is doing there was a joy to experience. She was able to accommodate a few last minute requests and was very responsive to any chat requests within just a few hours. She even provided some extra equipment in case you forgot some big spray, utensils or any other basic stuff. I would highly recommend checking Stergelandia out as soon as you can! We were treated to a beautiful view of a thunder storm rolling in from the distance at the top of the observation deck and watched as the fog rolled in.

We had a much needed girls trip for 3 days & it was everything we needed. The host Jennifer was amazing & provided us with everything we needed to make it perfect! The place was clean & so well taken care of & we felt so safe. Would definitely recommend & we can’t wait to come back in the Fall.

Jennifer's property was perfect for my first ever solo camping trip. Arriving to a site with firewood ready to go was a plus. I've never seen so many lightning bugs! We experienced a heat wave during my stay and Jennifer insisted I drank as much of the bottled water they provided as I needed. I can't wait to book here again in the future

Stergelandia was a wonderful place to stay. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the property and the a-frame immensely. The beautiful night sky and the experience of the solar eclipse here in this beautiful land was awesome. We loved the simplicity of everything and just taking a walk through the lands. We want to come back for sure and highly recommend it.

My stay at Stergelandia was fantastic. Jennifer made my stay so comfortable. I was greeted with snacks by the campfire. She gave a tour of the campsite and land. The views of the land are simply breathtaking, wether you want to take in a sunset, or a sunrise, you won't be disappointed. There is a double deck, where you can capture beautiful photos on the top deck, or relax, read, catch a nap, or soak in the silence of nature on the lower deck. Jennifer hosts farm to table dinner and breakfast using local ingredients and herbs from her beautiful herb garden. The campsite is very eco friendly, pet friendly, and couples can even have their wedding here. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

I loved the location and hospitality of the host Jennifer. She had an evening planned and had made a locally sourced breakfast for all the renters. she was also accommodating and moved us to a bigger A structure the second day.

I loved the land, the frog ponds, the herbs to pick, the tent options. Most of all the time the hostess spent to make sure our trip was phenomenal; and it was amazing. I would highly recommend the trip, the land and the amenities and of course, the hostess!

I’ve been a short term rental host for a decade and am well travelled. I have to say, Jennifer- hands down - is the best host I have ever had the pleasure of staying with. She has done a superior job of creating a truly sacred space for her guests. We felt honored to be able to experience her well thought out A-frame, star gazing deck, wooded paths, frog pond, locally sourced and freshly prepared breakfast at her cafe. She has poured so much intention and Love into her guests’ experience. I was literally brought to tears by her exceeding kindness. My partner and I have fallen in love with Jennifer’s Land and will absolutely return when able. You’ve got to stay here. It’s also only 20 or so minutes from Letchworth State Park- an absolute treasure… if you’re into waterfalls and breathtaking views. Stay with Jennifer. It’s a whole vibe.

As a female traveling with kids, I don't have to worry about my safety camping at Stergelandia. This place makes me feel like stepping into a magical fairy land, especially at night time surrounded by fireflies. The kids and I stayed in the Calm fields, hills sky tent which is tucked further away toward the wood area, but still a short walk from the main entrance. There were plenty of places to look around and relax on the hammocks or benches. The frogs pond was awesome with lots of frogs and the little vegetables/herbs garden add a nice touch to the place. Also, there's a meditation place, which I did not have a chance to use. Overall, I think this is a great getaway from the craziness and exactly what I need, restorative. I can't thank you enough to the wonderful host, Jennifer. She was very accommodating and the most understanding host more than anyone could ever ask for. She provided everything that we need plus lots of extras. She even suggested a swim area and took us to the river for some swimming as well. The kids and hava great time, and one of them didn't want to leave (lol). Thank you, Jennifer!

Stergelandia is a beautiful spot close to amazing state parks, rivers and waterfalls! The new A frames are comfortable and private with a spectacular view of the forest. Jennifer is a superb hostess and the complimentary breakfast was farm to table and delicious. Can’t wait to go back next season!

Camping at Stergelandia was such an experience. Gorgeous views, plenty of places to chill, tripod grate over the fire pit for cooking and trails to hike! The tent was very spacious but decorated to be quite cozy. We really enjoyed our stay and are already looking forward to coming back and see the additions that Jen is manifesting!

Ultra Tent Glamping Experience!
I loved glamping at Jennifer's land! The land was beautiful and thriving with gorgeous foliage and plants. We brought our doggos, which they were sad to leave. They were treated as welcomed guests and loved being able to run around in the fields and trails exploring. Jennifer made our stay so comfortable, like it was our home away from home!

We loved tent camping on Jennifer’s land, it was quite the retreat. Jennifer was extremely accommodating and considerate to our wants and needs as campers, even helping us to pack up when the rain won against our personal tent. Can’t wait for our next visit, and to stay in one of the provided tents that Jennifer has available for renting!

Jennifer and her land are delightful. During our glamping weekend, we were able to star gaze without light pollution. From the observation platform, we saw soo many stars, the Milky Way and some shooting stars! The fireflies put on a show as well.
Jennifer was a wonderful host! She greeted us warmly and gave us a tour of the land for which she shows much love and commitment. I especially loved a path which had overarching trees - which made it magical. She showed us the frog pond(s) (so cool!) too. There were places for quiet contemplation or meditation. As she continues to develop her land, I want to come back and see the progress.
One of my favorite places to hang out was the platform under the observation deck. It has Adirondack loungers, where you can recline and nap, read or hang out. There was a nice breeze and shelter from the sun on a hot day.
Jennifer did everything we could ask to make our stay more comfortable and was she very responsive and respectful of feedback. The breakfast table was a delight every morning with a wonderful assortment of food (including Amish baked goods), hot drinks and freshly picked wildflowers. I felt so pampered and catered to.
We had a fire in the firepit every night. Jennifer even asked if we wanted to do a project with branding irons as a souvenirs (of course we said yes).
You could not ask for a better host or place to reset from a hectic life, refresh your soul and delight your senses. I highly recommend this place!!!

The camping at Stergelandia was an epic adventure for the three of us. We had the most beautiful views, the star gazing was spectacular, the frog ponds were fun and we were close enough to the river to be able to do some fishing. Jennifer is a absolutely fantastic host and provides so much knowledge of the area and animals as well as provided a breakfast that was truly delightful, fresh baked breads and sweets, fresh fruit and boiled eggs, it was top notch. You will love this spot, the tents are fun and it was easy to navigate to the site.

This was the best campgrounds I've stayed at through HipCamp. On the drive down, coming from Buffalo, you pass so many quaint main streets, farm stands, and flower shacks - you will want to stop at all of them, so factor in time for that!
The grounds are huge and there are frog ponds, gorgeous canvas tents with all the fixings, gas and wood fire pits, there's hot coffee in the morning, and a great place to cook over a fire. There's a field that is perfect for firefly watching and star gazing. Hammocks, porta potties, cooking utensils, firewood, water, and a dipping pond are just some of the amenities on this property.
You can really unwind here and take it all in. No light pollution is getting in the way of the sky or stars.
I took my time and spent a lot of time reading by the fire and cooking, taking naps, walking, and just being calm. My dog joined me and loved it , sniffing a million different places and just taking in the wildness.
This is a great spot to go for people who aren't campers or don't have camping items. If you reserve the large bell tent, it has a bed, table, pillows, lights, fire pit, wood, etc. You get a welcome pack with bug spray, wipes, hand sanitizer, a first aid kit, Tylenol, water, so many things you could use! All you need is to bring your clothes, some food, and entertainment. That's it! Bring a blanket and warm pj's because the night always get deceptively cold in the country.
Having hot coffee ready for me in the morning made this heaven
