Autumn just might be the prettiest time of the year in Missouri. No matter where we live, we can usually sit back, relax, and drink in the breathtaking colors of the season. However, fall’s also the perfect time for a quick or even a longer getaway. When you check into the River of Life Treehouses in Missouri, you’re in for spectacular views, high above the trees among the brilliant fall foliage.
Nestled along the banks of the North Fork of the White River, River of Life Farm offers an idyllic backdrop for a leisurely fall getaway – especially if you check into one of its enchanting treehouses.
You’ll have several charming treehouses from which to choose. The Treetop Cedar Chest, for example, sits perched among the trees overlooking the river. A cozy space for two, the treehouse features such amenities as a whirlpool and a fireplace.
A minimum two-night stay is traditionally required for each treehouse/cabin at River of Life Farm.
While you might want to curl up in your treehouse and spend your day admiring the colorful landscape, you’ll probably also want to get outdoors and explore a bit.
You don’t even have to leave River of Life Farm to enjoy all that the Missouri outdoors have to offer. Set off, for example, on one of the scenic hiking trails.
While you won’t be able to admire the fall foliage when darkness falls, you certainly can go outdoors for a bit of stargazing. Did you know that River of Life Farm offers some of the best and clearest views of the nighttime sky in Missouri?
