Our Stay at the Moonlight Treehouse
During our visit, we had the privilege of experiencing the Moonlight Treehouse, a sanctuary of tranquility suspended high above the forest floor.
From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the craftmanship and design. The towering trees and serene atmosphere instantly transported us to another world.
The treehouse featured a cozy living area, a well-equipped kitchenette, and a luxurious bedroom with a large window that let in the soft glow of moonlight, hence the name.
The wraparound deck offered breathtaking views, and we cherished countless hours sitting out there, sipping coffee in the morning listening to the sounds of nature.
Exploring the Mohicans property was an adventure in itself. There are nine different treehouses available for rent, each with its own unique charm and character. We loved wandering through this enchanting forested wonderland, discovering hidden nooks and crannies along the way.
Our experience staying at the Moonlight Treehouse was absolutely magical and exceeded our expectations. From the outdoor shower to the picture perfect views, this treehouse was every bit romantic while offering an escape from reality.
If you’re looking for a truly unforgettable getaway amidst nature’s splendor, The Mohicans Treehouses are calling your name.

What to Do Nearby
There is an abundance of outdoor and indoor activities near by or if you are up for a little drive. Here are some of our favorites:
Amish Country: If you’re up for a drive, head into Amish Country. There is plenty to do from shopping, eating, to seeing the world’s largest cuckoo clock.
Mohican State Park: Over 1,100 acres of beautiful natural landscapes to take a hike on and explore the lush forests and scenic valleys.
Landolls Mohican Castle: A neat castle to walk around and take photos. They also have ghost tours on property, a wedding venue and a restaurant.
Fire Lookout Tower: Pretty neat to look at but if you’re brave enough to climb it, do so at your own risk. We could only get through a few flights of stairs before we got that funny feeling in our stomachs.
Mohican Covered Bridge: Pretty cool to look at and walk on the outside of it. You can get a good view of the Mohican River and maybe see some people rafting, canoeing or kayaking down it.
Clear Fork Gorge: Although there wasn’t much water flowing, this was pretty to look at. The hike is a little challenging at the beginning with tree roots and such so be prepared with some good hiking shoes.
Mohican Adventures: If you are up for fun and adventure, this is the place to check out. They have a high ropes course, go carts, putt putt golf and canoeing, rafting, kayaking down the 7 mile Mohican River. Fun for the whole family!
Mohican Gorge Overlook: This is pretty easy to find and right next to the fire tower. You can get a gorgeous 360 view of the 300 foot deep valley of the Clear Fork.
