Kristi Stanford • Jul 02, 2020
If you don’t already have a hot tub at your Summit County, Colorado vacation home, here’s why you should:
- Hot tubs are the number one requested amenity: In Summit County, chances are high that you rent out your home to vacationing guests. Behind location and views, hot tubs are the most important and most requested amenity by consumers looking to be a vacation home in Summit County. The request for a hot tub is more important than game rooms, chef’s kitchens, home theaters, and square footage. Ask any vacation rental manager or long-time realtor in Summit County. People visiting the mountains want to sit in a hot tub on a cool evening. That desire is part of the vacation vision. Many of our guests are from the south where it’s too hot to enjoy a hot tub most of the year. They want to soak while here in the mountains. The bottom line: a hot tub gives your home an edge in a very competitive rental market.
- Increase in the value of your home: Not only will a hot tub make your home more desirable in the vacation rental market (thus increasing your rental revenue), but a hot tub also increases the value of your Summit County home. Typically this amounts to the price of the tub plus $5000 (if the tub is newer and in good working condition). For the most practical hot tub accessories, please click here.
- Guests will be spending more time in the home: Today’s guests are spending a bit more time in their vacation rental. They want something to do with their time in the vacation home since less time will be spent dining out or at indoor activities.
- People are more health conscious than ever: A healthy physical state is more important than ever. We’re all looking for ways to improve our mental and physical health. Hot tubs are beneficial to both.
- Well cared for hot tubs are safe: A well-maintained hot tub is a safe and healthy hot tub. Soaking in a private hot tub is one of the safest and healthiest activities to partake in. We hope it goes without saying that adult supervision is required for children.
