Welcome to our forum.
New here. Thanks in advance for the help.Need to vacation rent our place and putting in a hot tub to help with this. Was looking at Sundance/BullFrog/ Hot Springs etc but not sure if this is the best way to go. I've read Consumer Affair ratings, reviews etc and they don't seem to be the most durable. Would appreciate some advice on a durable hottub that doesn't sacrifice on features/comfort and comes with a good warranty. Having talked to a lot of folks in our situation my understanding is that anything like this in a vacation rental is going to take a beating and subject to repairs. Place sleeps 8 so looking at a 6 person hot tub. Thanks again!
Thank you wmccall. Grateful to have folks on this forum with experience that can guide newbies like me. Closing in on a Rotomold (no sure about company, model etc) or Hot Springs Rhythym (being quoted $8K delivered) or Bull Frog X based on recommendations here. Main concern right now is the look of Rotomold and if it really offers the durability vs HotSprings or BullFrog. Between the HS and BF I like Bullfrog X for the 5 year warranty vs 2 yr. BullFrog A6 has a lifetime warranty on the shell so that's attractive but obviously more cost and the jetpack system which is not ideal for rentals. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on Rotomolded tubs. They dont look that nice but will it last 20+years?

Good Luck!That reminds me, I don't know if it is still true or not, but Hocking County, Ohio use to have more hottubs per capita that any other county in the US. Its a sparsely populated county in South Central Ohio that is largely forest, but a lot of weekend get away cabins all with hottubs. I remember most of them were Nordic of this type. Whomever sold Nordic in this are back in the 70s-2000 should have been able to retire comfortably.
