Hot Tub? Good Idea?
Hello BP Community. We have a STR with a small back yard, not big enough for a pool, but big enough for a hot tub. Thinking of the phrase, "Keeping up with the Joneses", we are contemplating adding a hot tub, because Airbnb is reporting that properties with pools and hot tubs get twice as many bookings. I'm just wondering what y'all think about it. Good idea? Any risks that we should know about? What has been your experience? Thanks in advance.

Property in Colorado? you bet. In New Orleans the last thing I want is something else to make me hot and humid. I cannot imagine it would increase booking in nola.
