Peak fall foliage is right around the corner, and while you can experience the changing colors on the region’s nearby trails or at the waterfront, have you ever considered taking in the foliage from the treetops? Here are six treehouse rentals in Virginia that come with beautiful fall foliage views.

Richmond, $277 per night, two-night minimum
VA Creeper Trail Treehouse
Built by Treehouse Masters’ Pete Nelson, this two-story, one-bedroom treehouse combines the beauty of nature with convenient amenities.
