hope valley is a small town, somewhere. the town and its locals know it isn’t the idealistic place sold to tourists but agree that hope valley is somewhere special—more than home, there’s something in the air. if you leave, there’s a sense of longing that never leaves you until you come back. it’s true for locals and true for the spectators, tourists, who experience significant events within the town’s borders: love at first sight, engagements, weddings, or the chorus of voices counting down towards the new year, complete with a kiss to ring it in.
the experiences aren’t extraordinary but make for a lovely experience—one that’s been made more public in recent years. kissing ridge resort has been a tourist attraction since it opened and that’s where it all starts. the town starts building itself around their biggest attraction: a habitable, storybook town. all its charms are more noticeable when the holiday season comes, with a fresh layer of snow coating the mountain and the nip of the cold on your nose. the word of mouth grows. people come to hope valley from all over and crowned as a love capital, charming and slightly rustic. the perfect place to fall in love, find your someone.
