Some common ones that come to mind in addition to a hot tub are a cedar sauna (gotta lean into that Minnesota sauna culture - check out Cedar and Stone out of Duluth for some really cool sauna ideas), snow shoes or cross country skis, or even just a nice outdoor firepit area with tons of firewood (you could also include complementary s'mores supplies for every reservation).

Take a look at the study from Amsterdam. by Piet Eichholtz Eichholtz_A-long-run-house-price-index.pdf (maastrichtrealestate.com)basically a nearly 400 year study of the prices of the same homes along the best canals in Amsterdam since 1628, and the prices rose at about 2-3% or the historic rate of inflation there, same study has been retroactively and proactively studied in almost all countries on Earth and they all get same answers over long term, (Re rises with inflation rate) Now you can have short term bubbles like now in USA, but they usually deflate like the 22% drop from 1929-1935 or the 34% drop from 2006 to 2012, which many of us benefitted from.
