YOUR WINTER ESCAPE
After a day on Mountain Creek's slopes or exploring the lake, sink into your private hot tub right on the water. Steam rising into cold air, views of the frozen lake, the quiet of winter—simple, profound comfort that stays with you long after checkout. Beyond the peaceful setting, find a space where everything is thoughtfully considered—well-stocked kitchen, soft linens, warm fireplace, lakeside fire pit. A place where you can simply arrive, exhale, and be.
HOT TUB SANITATION
Our Nordic hot tub features built-in ozone purification (Nordic Clean™) that continuously eliminates bacteria, viruses, and contaminants. Multi-stage filtration cycles the entire water volume every 60 minutes.
We use professional-grade Life Span and Hot Tub Essentials treatment products with testing before every check-in and after every checkout. Chlorine, alkalinity, and water hardness are tested and balanced based on precise results—not guesswork.
Your soak is safer than touching a subway pole.
