Take Friendsgiving Somewhere New: Plan a Weekend at Innsbrook

Friendsgiving has one major advantage over Thanksgiving: you get to make your own rules.
Celebrate on a Saturday. Make dinner at 8 p.m. Skip the turkey. Assign everyone a dish. Wear pajamas all day. Eat dessert first. Nobody's going to stop you.
And since Friendsgiving doesn't have to happen on Thanksgiving Day, why squeeze everyone into someone's dining room for a few hours when you could turn it into an entire fall weekend?
If you're looking for Friendsgiving ideas near St. Louis, a large vacation rental where your group can stay together, or just an excuse to get your favorite people in the same place for a couple of days, take Friendsgiving to Innsbrook.

An Analog Thanksgiving: Trade Black Friday for a Holiday at Innsbrook

What if Thanksgiving weekend actually felt like a break?
No rushing from house to house. No squeezing extra folding chairs around a dining room table that definitely wasn't designed for 14 people. No waking up Friday morning and immediately scrolling through sales.
Just cool November mornings, a warm place to gather, good food, nowhere you have to be, and some of your favorite people under one roof.
If you've been searching for a Thanksgiving getaway near St. Louis, a place where the whole family can stay together for Thanksgiving, or simply a way to make the holiday feel a little less hectic this year, an Innsbrook vacation might be exactly what you need.

Fall color in Missouri typically peaks around the middle of October, making the middle two weeks of the month a great time to plan a fall getaway. But nature doesn't follow a calendar perfectly. Temperatures, rainfall and other weather conditions can move the timing from year to year, and different species of trees change at different times.
That means you don't necessarily need to hit one magical “peak fall color” weekend.
