Love them enough to actually aspire to own one? I sure wouldn't. Mind you I've never actually been in one, and I suppose there's some people saying there's health benefits, so in theory I suppose it makes sense why someone would want one... But laziness is kind of the ultimate luxury in modern culture, and I hot tubs need cleaning, plus they take up space, and cost money that one has to earn.

Wait, you've never been in a hot tub? One of the greatest luxuries of life my friend. I've sat in hot springs on the side of the Colorado River and watched rainbow trout jump out of the river as the sun set. I've sat in man made springs that channelled natural springs and watched snow fall against a firelit canyon wall. I've experienced traditional Korean Spas, Japanese Onsens, on and on. All these people, with variations on the same theme, can't be wrong. One of our life goals is to have a hot tub, on a deck, somewhere remote and beautiful. It'd be nice of there was a cabin attached, but not necessary. There are lots of people of think this is the pinnacle of existence on earth, give it a try, you might like it.

  Next time I'm at a hotel or something maybe I will! Generally I'm never around them except when I go to conventions. There's a hot springs nearby though, perhaps I should make it a priority to go one day. If you plan to live somewhere remote then owning one seems a bit more exciting that it does if you plan to stay in cities where you'd be seeing someone else's house and planes overhead instead of trout or canyon walls.

    We don't really plan on ever living anywhere remote. We just like vacationing there. It would be nice to have a cabin in the woods with a hot tub is all I'm saying.

They're enjoyable. It's a relaxing place to hang out and drink with friends, which makes them especially fun to have on vacation. I will definitely pay a little extra to stay at the hotel with a hot tub. That said, I think they'd lose their magic if I had one available to me every day and had to take care of it, so I'm with you on having no desire to own one.

  I thought the same thing so when we needed to rent a house we picked one with a hot tub, used it at least once or twice a week the whole year, and for years after. It became a great place to have family conversations and just relax at night. Also fixes some back issues almost instantly.

I live in the mountains and certainly enjoy a hot tub on a crisp, cloudless, snow-covered night. However, they’re a pain in the ass to own and maintain. Our previous rental home had one — I spent more time maintaining it than using it. When we bought our current home 8 years ago, it had an unmaintained broken-down hot tub. I don’t regret ripping it out instead of fixing it. I can always use a hot tub on ski vacations, where someone else can maintain it.
