In the Smoky Mountains, having a hot tub on your short-term rental property isn’t just a perk—it’s practically expected. For guests, a bubbling soak after a hike or a cozy evening under the stars is the ultimate vacation luxury. But for hosts? That dream feature can quickly turn into a nightmare—unless it’s properly maintained.
At Host Hero, we take hot tub upkeep seriously because we know it’s one of the most-used—and most-reviewed—amenities in a short-term rental.
Why Hot Tub Maintenance Matters for Your STR
1. It Directly Impacts Guest Reviews: Let’s be blunt: if the water’s cloudy, smells off, or the jets don’t work, your guest will absolutely mention it in their review. One bad hot tub experience can tank your overall ratings—even if the rest of the stay was great.
2. It’s a Health & Safety Issue: Improperly sanitized hot tubs can harbor bacteria like E. coli and Legionella, which can cause serious illness. Regular maintenance keeps your guests safe—and keeps you out of legal hot water (pun intended).
3. It Extends the Life of Your Investment: A quality hot tub isn’t cheap. Without routine checks and chemical balancing, parts can break down faster, costing you thousands in repairs or early replacement.
4. It Reduces Emergency Calls and Cancellations: There’s nothing worse than getting a frantic guest message at 10 p.m. because the hot tub isn’t working. Scheduled maintenance helps you avoid costly refunds, upset guests, and last-minute stress.
