A mama black bear climbs into a hot tub in Stowe Hollow on Friday, May 10, as her distressed cub looks on.

Humans apparently aren’t the only species that enjoy lounging on the deck and relaxing in the hot tub on a warm spring day.

A local woman looked out her window recently to find two black bears — a full-grown mother and a young cub — exploring her deck in Stowe Hollow. The mama bear even spent some time in the hot tub, which was empty of water.
