Looking to escape from a big city like Boston or New York City? Connecticut is one of the most accessible options around.
Videos by TravelAwaits
In just a few hours, you can be surrounded by nature in a quaint town. Whether you want a coastal adventure with dramatic ocean views, a fall foliage romp in the woodlands, or just to city-hop to sample local specialties like seafood and wood-fired pizza, there’s something for everyone.
But if you’re going to visit Connecticut during autumn or winter, I have one suggestion: look for an Airbnb with an outdoor hot tub. That way, you can log a few extra hours relaxing outdoors, far from the hustle and bustle of your daily life.

Airbnbs in Connecticut with hot tubs
Cottage on Blue Lake: Lakeside Landing in North Stonington
Take a load off on the shores of Blue Lake with this three-acre property that comes with a private dock. While it’ll be too cold to take a dip, you can unwind outdoors with the patio and grill. But the real star of the show is the hot tub with lake views. Though the cabin sleeps four, the canopy bed makes me feel like this is a perfect spot for a romantic escape.
Guesthouse in Cornwall: The Pool Cottage at Narrow Valleys Estate
This stunning estate is home to cobbled stone decals, from the pool to the entry to the outdoor seating area. Even the hot tub is fully inlaid into a cobbled structure, giving this rental a very French chateau-like feel. While only the guest house is up for rent, it’s fully secluded on this massive, 275-acre estate. If you want to surprise someone with a royal escape, look no further.
Quaint cottage in Litchfield
This cottage is perfectly suited for spending days indoors thanks to its cozy but functional décor. The wood-burning fireplace and outdoor fire pit give you the chance to lounge indoors or outdoors. The hot tub is located in the backyard, surrounded by string lights for an evening soak. This two-bedroom stay sleeps four, making it great for families that want a quaint escape. It’s also close to the area’s most popular vineyards, just in time for the harvest season!
Spa-like escape in Old Lyme: Serene Escape
This rental unit doesn’t just come with a backyard hot tub; it also comes with a state-of-the-art sauna. Though it’s not a fully private home, it’s got all the tools you need for a relaxing escape—even if you visit in the dead of winter.
Two-floor cottage in Kent
This lovely cottage sleeps four guests in two bedrooms, and comes with reliable Wi-Fi that’s great for remote workers. The hot tub is situated out back and perfect for evening soaks, especially if you want to spend the day hiking. The cottage is close to popular trails and resorts, from the famous Appalachian Trail to Mohawk Mountain Ski Area to Kent Falls.
Large bungalow in Morris
With its large outdoor pool and wonderful lounging area, you might want to keep this bungalow on your radar during summer. But during autumn and winter, you can take advantage of its hot tub, cedar shower, and large steam shower. Plus, there’s a game barn and a gym, in case you want to stay active during your vacation. It’s also close to Mount Tom skiing.
Remote log cabin: Little Blue Heron
Looking for a rustic escape? This classic log cabin brings you straight into Connecticut’s woodlands near Redding at the Blue Heron Estate. There’s a stone fire pit outside (with firewood included), along with a BBQ setup for home-cooked meals. Don’t miss out on the hot tub, though, which is situated outside to give you great views while you soak.
Private lakefront Bungalow: Lakefront Bungalow Bliss
If you prefer a more upscale escape, this bungalow in Plymouth gives you great views and access to a private lake. You can kayak if the water hasn’t frozen—or ice skate, if it has. The area is also home to wineries and boutique shopping. Just know that there’s no true hot tub on the grounds. Instead, there’s a large interior jacuzzi with large windows that offer lake views.
Private room in nature lodge: Abbey’s Lantern Hill Inn
This rental is located inside the rustic, charming Abbey’s Lantern Hill Inn. It’s billed as a nature lodge and includes lovely wood features, a wood-burning fireplace, plus plenty of shared outdoor areas. That includes a fire pit, grill, and area for lawn games. Like the last rental, there’s no stand-alone, traditional hot tub. Instead, there’s a large, luxurious soaking tub with jets.
Rustic Creekside Cabin
If you’re looking for rejuvenation in nature without any shared spaces, this cabin gives you the keys to a truly remote escape. While you’re close to New Milford and the area’s wineries, breweries, and antique shops, you might find yourself rapt with the peaceful, wooded grounds. The outdoor grill and hot tub are located right beneath the trees. And, unlike the other spots on this list, this cabin has a wood-fired, Scandi-style hot tub.
