Beyond the Hot Tub: Trending Amenities in Colorado Mountain Vacation Homes

Soaking in a private hot tub on the deck under the stars after a day out on the slopes or trails has long been a staple of a mountain vacation. And while it will never lose its appeal, today’s luxury rental homes are redefining what it means to relax, recover, and recharge. From home saunas and cold plunges to oxygen-enriched bedrooms, the latest amenity trends are all about wellness.

Here’s a look at some of the exciting new features that you’ll find in our Moving Mountains collection of exceptional homes.


Hot Tubs: The Iconic Après Essential

Always the classic and still the number-one “must-have” amenity, private hot tubs deliver the simple luxury guests crave. They’re the ultimate post-ski or hike indulgence. And when you're soaking on a deck with a fabulous view, the experience is that much more elevated.


Saunas: Scandinavia Tradition Meets Rocky Mountain Recovery

Saunas are emerging as one of the hottest wellness additions to mountain homes. After a long day outdoors, a dry heat session soothes sore muscles, boosts circulation, and melts stress away. Many homeowners are opting for sleek cedar-lined rooms or infrared models that bring a spa experience right inside the home.


Cold Plunges: The Coolest Trend

What was once reserved for elite athletes is now making its way into vacation homes. Cold plunges are gaining immense popularity for their invigorating health benefits. Paired with a hot tub or sauna session and you've taken your vacation and wellness experience to the next level.

Golf Simulators: Tee Time, Anytime

For those who refuse to let snow get in the way of their swing, in-home golf simulators are becoming another ultimate luxury amenity. Using high-definition screens and advanced swing analysis, these systems transport players to iconic courses around the world. You can ski the slopes in Vail, and the (virtually) play Pebble Beach for après.

Home Gyms: Elevate Your Workout Routine

More guests are seeking vacation homes with dedicated fitness spaces. You'll find several Moving Mountains homes with fully-equipped gyms with free weights, machines, rowers and Peloton bikes. Some even have Pilates reformers and climbing walls. Which means in a mountain town, you can challenge yourself inside and outdoors, and you'll get a view either way!


Oxygen Systems: Breathe Easy at Altitude

At 8,000 feet and higher, a little extra oxygen can go a long way. Some of our homes feature oxygen-enriched bedrooms or whole-home systems to help guests acclimate more comfortably. Better sleep, more energy, and less altitude adjustment, so you can spend your time enjoying the view instead of catching your breath.
