Canada’s capital city, Ottawa, is blessed (or cursed, however you may like to see it) with some of the longest and hardest winters. The snowfall starts around November and trudges along until as late as April, transforming the city into a full-blown winter wonderland. You can disregard the temperature readings and head out for some winter sports, sightseeing, museum-hopping or shopping at spots such as ByWard Market, Rideau Canal, Parliament Hill and Canadian War Museum, among others. You can also choose to sip on some warm cocoa as you stay huddled indoors. Exploring this city deserves a relaxing way to end the day, so a cozy accommodation and a dip into a tub would be a great idea. If you’re planning to head to this winter wonderland, consider checking into one of these top Airbnbs with hot tub in Ottawa, Canada.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to hot tub. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 13, 2024.
1. Charming rental near the beach (from USD 152)
Here’s a cottage in Constance Bay about 40 to 45 minutes’ driving distance from downtown Ottawa. This waterfront rental is within walking distance from Ottawa River, so you can easily head out for some outdoor fun.
If you prefer to stay on the premises, the waterfront garden area is a great spot to roam around. You can lie back on the loungers or the swing and get some reading done while your little ones build sand castles in the private beach area. You can also indulge in a refreshing dip into the six-person hot tub. Later, you can gather around the fire pit and exchange conversations under the starlit sky. A barbecue set is available here, so you can relish an alfresco meal too.
Pets are allowed at the rental, and the large private garden and beach area are perfect spots for your furry buddy to rollick outdoors.
