Why Cold Plunges Are Exploding in Nashville STRs
Nashville short-term rentals are more competitive than ever, and hosts are looking for ways to stand out without racing to the bottom on price. One amenity that’s gaining serious traction is the cold plunge.
What used to be niche is now becoming a booking differentiator — especially for group stays.

Cold Plunges Turn a Stay Into an Experience
Guests don’t come to Nashville just to sleep. They’re here for bachelor and bachelorette trips, birthdays, group weekends, and celebrations.
Cold plunges give guests something memorable to do at the house. They create an experience instead of just adding convenience — and that’s what drives stronger reviews.
Why Cold Plunges Work So Well for Nashville Groups
Group trips dominate Nashville’s STR market. Cold plunges naturally fit that dynamic:
They’re social
They’re fun
They get shared on Instagram and TikTok
They feel “luxury” without being complicated
For hosts, that means more engagement at the property and more positive post-stay feedback.
Wellness Amenities Are No Longer Niche
Recovery and wellness aren’t just trends anymore. Guests expect elevated experiences, especially in premium Nashville listings.
Cold plunges pair well with:
Saunas
Outdoor hangout spaces
Morning coffee setups
Late-night recovery after Broadway
They signal that a host has intentionally designed the stay, not just furnished a house.
Cold Plunges Help Listings Stand Out Visually
Listings with unique amenities perform better because they photograph better.
Cold plunges:
Add visual interest to listing photos
Increase time spent on the listing
Give guests something specific to remember
In crowded Nashville search results, that matters.
Why Hosts Are Adding Cold Plunges Now
As Nashville’s STR market matures, hosts are realizing that amenities drive differentiation more than square footage or décor.
Cold plunges are one of the few upgrades that:
Feel premium
Are instantly understandable to guests
Create a clear “wow” factor
