About this collection
Mountain & Cabin Pool Ideas, explained.
Mountain and cabin pools take their cues from lodges and modern mountain homes: heavy timber and steel, stacked stone and boulders, decks cantilevered toward the view, fire pits and hot tubs for cold nights, and planting of pines, aspens, grasses and native wildflowers.
Notice how the best pool designs let the landscape dominate and keep the built elements dark and simple. Save the schemes that suit your altitude, your snow load and the direction of your view.
Mountain pools trade ornament for view. Look for a rectangular or vanishing-edge pool aimed at the peaks, decks of ipe or dark composite, stacked-stone walls and boulders at the edge, a hot tub and fire pit within a few steps, and planting of pines, aspens and grasses. Dark plaster and warm lighting make the water glow on cold evenings.

- The coping — how the deck meets the water sets the whole tone
- Where the spa sits and how it spills into the pool
- Night lighting: which features glow and which stay dark
