This pumpkin patch is the ultimate place to celebrate all things fall. While you can always stroll through the pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkin, this is just the beginning of all there is to do here.

Stop by the original barn that was built in the 1930s. Here, you’ll find all types of delicious treats (like the mini donuts!), and you may even get to pet a few small kittens while you are there.

If you don’t need that much space, consider reserving a log cabin. The 400-square-foot cabins feature two queen beds, a shower, and a small kitchenette.

There are also yurts, glamping tents, and even an RV park. Regardless of what you choose, you’ll be surrounded by trees and leaf-peeping opportunities everywhere you look.
