The Keystone Top 5: Hot Tubs

People come to Keystone for the nation’s best skiing, but a good soak in a hot tub is not far behind on their list of reasons for choosing a mountain vacation. There’s really nothing better than soaking in a hot tub after a long day of winter adventures with snowflakes falling all around.

SCMR has put in the hard work of figuring out what the best five hot tubs are in Keystone. It was a tough job, but someone had to do it.

No. 1 on the list is Dakota Lodge. This complex features two of the largest hot tubs in all of Keystone, not to mention the largest pool too. It’s in the heart of River Run Village so you’re steps from shopping, restaurants and local festivities, plus it’s next to Dercum Square that features an ice rink during the winter and a miniature golf course during the summer. Throw in an absolute stunning view of the slopes and you’ve got the number one hot tub in Keystone.

Second on the list is Chateaux DuMont. Each property in this French-inspired complex features its own private hot tub. Although running through the cold can be invigorating, after a long day you might want to just walk the few steps from the living room so you can soak those worn out muscles quickly. Plus, there’s no standing in a nearby lobby trying to look busy as you wait on a hot tub to clear out. Here at Chateaux DuMont your hot tub is always waiting just for you.

Coming in third we have The Springs. This hot tub made the list because of the entire set up with amenities at The Springs. Not only is there a hot tub, but there’s also a heated pool with a slide and waterfall, a splash area with water sprayers, a grill area and an outdoor fire pit for making s’mores. Sit back and soak those muscles while the rest of your party makes use of the other amenities.

Fourth on the list are the hot tubs at Red Hawk Lodge. Here you have the benefit of beautiful views of the main River Run slope and you’re on the edge of the village so you’re not in the center of the crowds. There’s also a pool, shared fitness facilities and a steam room. If you can get someone to cook and serve you a steak from the outdoor grill you’ll be all set.

And coming in at the fifth spot is the spacious hot tub for the Ski Tip Townhomes. Located centrally within the complex, this oversized hot tub has a feeling of privacy with a surrounding fence but you still have beautiful views. There are changing rooms and restrooms right next to it so no need to worry about walking around outside in wet clothes.
