There are mountain houses where the hot tub feels like one more amenity on the list. Here, I'd actually use it as part of the reason to choose the house. Mountain Village Lost Creek Lane Peaks puts you in the heart of Mountain Village with big mountain views and a private hot tub, so you get something I really like: the convenience of the village without giving up your own outdoor retreat. It's a four-bedroom residence, which hits a useful family scale. You're not maintaining an eight-bedroom estate, but you still have enough room for a proper family trip. What really makes the location work is that Mountain Village is accessible on foot. Restaurants, shops, the gondola and resort life are part of the immediate environment rather than somewhere you drive every time you leave the house. That's a strong combination for a month in Telluride.
