Hudson Hot Tubs is located in Tivoli, New York and was created by John Cox, owner and founder of Quercus Cooperage.

John learned the woodworking trade in his youth, spending many years fabricating custom interiors in Philadelphia and New York City. After moving upstate he started Quercus, a barrel and tank cooperage. While successfully building large tanks for the craft spirit industry, John altered the design slightly to produce his handmade red cedar hot tubs. John's years of custom woodworking experience enables him to modify the size and design of a barrel to meet your specific needs.

Rooted in Craft, Built by Hand

Every tub is handcrafted in the Hudson Valley using high-quality Western Red Cedar and time-tested techniques. John takes pride in good workmanship, honest communication, and building tubs that families can enjoy for years.

A Different Kind of Hot Tub

Our tubs are grounded in simplicity and nature:

  • Deep, quiet soaking

  • Natural heat retention

  • Eco-friendly & chemical-resistant

  • Aesthetic warmth that enhances any landscape
