The space:
Welcome to The Kiss Cabin's Grand Opening!

Perched above a pristine mountain creek on 6 private acres, The Kiss Cabin isn't just another rental property—it's a labor of love we've dreamed of sharing with couples since we first fell in love with these mountains (and each other) nearly two decades ago.

Inspired by Gustav Klimt's masterpiece "The Kiss," this intimate treehouse-style haven was designed and built by us, your hosts, with our own hands—every nail, every board, every thoughtful detail specifically crafted to create magical romantic getaways. This isn't a converted home; it was conceived from day one as a lover's retreat where couples can reconnect amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.


You'll have completely private access to:

• A stunning cascading creek right below your deck
• Private swimming holes for warm weather dips
• 6 acres of mountain woodland to explore
• A 15-minute creekside walk to the historic New River
• Custom fairy lights that transform the forest at night (not pictured as it's impossible to truly capture this magical detail on camera!)
• Hot tub overlooking the creek
• King bed with premium linens
• Curated vinyl record collection
• Dual-head shower with heated bathroom floors
• Heated seat and motion sensor bidet toilet
• Blackstone grill and full kitchen amenities
• Coffee and tea amenities
• Cocktail accessories and gentleman's ice cubes
• Heated blanket and cozy porch daybed


**Important Access Information (February-March 2025)**

We want to be completely transparent: as a brand new property, we're still finishing some access improvements:

• The staircase from the parking area to the cabin is under construction (completion expected Spring 2025)
• Our driveway is currently suitable for 4-wheel drive vehicles ONLY
• For all other vehicles, please use the designated parking area at the top
• Guests must carefully walk down to reach the cabin (appropriate footwear recommended)
Driveway paving scheduled for mid-March 2025 (weather permitting)

**Soft Launch Pricing**

As part of our soft opening, we're offering special introductory rates now through April while we continue to refine and perfect the full Kiss Cabin experience. Current rates (around $300/night) represent a significant discount from our expected peak season/weekend rates (approximately $550/night once fully established). While you may notice a few details still coming together, you'll enjoy the same magical setting and core amenities at a fraction of the future cost.

*Cancellation Policy
We understand that life happens, but as a small business, we maintain a strict cancellation policy. We recommend purchasing trip insurance to cover expenses from last-minute cancellations.

Our Story:

This cabin represents years of dreams, planning, and dedicated work. As proud locals, we've poured our love for these mountains (and each other) into every inch of this space. The journey to create this romantic retreat has been challenging but deeply rewarding, supported by our wonderful community, family, and friends.

Our goal is simple: to share our slice of mountain magic and help couples create memories that last a lifetime. We're honored that you're considering being among our first guests to experience what we believe is the most romantic cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains!

About the host

Hosted by Samantha Wright

Host profile image
Like many great love stories, ours began with art and adventure. We met in Chicago in 2009, building sets at a theater company—Shamba, a city native, and Samantha, a small-town gal with mountains in her soul. Life has a way of writing better stories than we could imagine: our cross-country adventure turned into destiny when our truck broke down in Boone, North Carolina. Sometimes, breakdowns lead to breakthroughs.

The mountains claimed us that day. The natural beauty, the authentic community, and the rhythm of mountain living spoke to something deep in our hearts. We knew we'd found home.

Why they chose this property

After raising our children here and falling deeper in love with these mountains each year, we dreamed of creating something special—a place where other couples could experience the magic we feel here every day. That dream led us to this extraordinary piece of land in Todd, NC, a place we once called home in our early mountain days.

When we first discovered these 6 acres, others saw impossible terrain. We saw possibility. Through the steep, rocky landscape, we heard the creek calling. As we bushwhacked our way to discover cascading falls and secret swimming holes, we knew: this was the place where dreams would come true—not just ours, but yours.

What makes this property unique

Inspired by Love's Most Famous Canvas

Gustav Klimt's masterpiece "The Kiss" isn't just our cabin's namesake—it's the heart of our design vision. This iconic painting, where gold leaf meets tender embrace, inspired every element of your stay. From the shimmering firefly lights that mirror Klimt's golden patterns to the carefully chosen textures and colors throughout, we've created a space where art meets intimacy.

Above your bed, a stunning hand-painted mural reimagines Klimt's iconic work, bringing its spirit of romance into your mountain sanctuary. Our commissioned artist captured the essence of the original—the golden hues, the tender embrace, the flowering meadow—while creating something entirely new and magical.

This artistic interpretation sets the tone for your entire stay. Every element of The Kiss Cabin has been designed to create your own private world where art, nature, and romance intertwine. Just as our mural builds upon Klimt's vision, your stay here will write its own beautiful story.
