Sink into a steaming hot tub and let the world soften: pines rustling overhead, distant peaks turning blue, and a quiet river threading through shadowed woods.

Below are standout Airbnbs with hot tubs where the views are big and the water is warm.

Vermont treetop cabin above the Sterling Peak Valley
Number of guests: 2
Bed and bath: 1 bedroom, 1 bath
Why we love it: Spa amenities, treetop deck with mountain views, full forest immersion
Set in the northern Green Mountains just outside Johnson and within reach of Smugglers’ Notch, this sculptural cabin feels hand-made and intentional. A local artisan built the space with a spiral staircase of saplings and live-edge pine siding that brings natural texture inside. The slate bathroom features dual rain showers, a Vermont Castings fireplace adds cozy warmth, and a suspended deck offers treetop views over Sterling Peak.
This is a place to slow down with a close friend or partner. Days can be spent between the cabin and the shared riverside spa complex, which includes a hot tub, a treehouse sauna, firepits, and cold-plunge access. After a day of hiking or skiing, unwind listening to the river while the sauna works its magic.
Location: Johnson, Vermont
Things to do nearby: Hiking and skiing at Smugglers’ Notch, paddling on the Lamoille River, biking the Vermont Rail Trail, and scenic drives through the Green Mountains.
Alpine hideaway facing the White Mountains in Norway, Maine
Number of guests: 4
Bed and bath: 2 bedrooms, 1 bath
Why we love it: Panoramic White Mountain views, sunset soaks in the hot tub, private forested setting
Perched above the treetops with sweeping views of the White Mountains, this modern alpine cabin invites you to slip into the hot tub and watch Mount Washington rise as dusk settles over the peaks. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the mountain views, a clean-lined fireplace anchors the living area, and the kitchen is stocked for serious cooking.
Step onto the west-facing deck for hot tub soaks, cast-iron grilling, or stargazing from the catamaran net. Nearby lakes, ski slopes, and trail networks make it easy to fill days with paddling, hiking, or skiing before returning to warm water and open sky. After dark, move to the firepit, listen to the pines, or linger on the deck as clouds drift across the mountains.
