Perfect for 2!
We snowboarded during the day and checked in in the afternoon - room was the perfect size for two and staff was super chill and professional. Late check out is totally worth! Highly recommend!

Great historic place to stay central location
This is a beautiful historic resort with kind of an Ozzy and Harriet flair I was given a terrific room ground-floor could park in front full kitchen and bath queen bed and queen sleeper
I was in big bear looking for investment projects and I was paddle by natasha and Chris they were just terrific totally responsive to every question I had I can’t say enough nice things about the staff
In fact I had a 13 day rental. And I had to go home five days early to deal with some chaos of my vrbo rentals in San Diego and Natasha was very gracious in getting me a refund and doing it properly and promptly

We had a great experience at Sessions.
The check-in was very easy, great communication system through texts, and very fast response.
Close to everything, pretty much walking distance to everything, including the slopes.
We loved staying here, and would highly recommend.

An A+ hotel room with a stove and full-size fridge
Frank and Pepper at the front desk were so hospitable, warm, and friendly. They made us feel very welcome. The rooms are super cool — hipster vibes — plus, we had a full-size fridge, stove, and oven?! Yes, we love it. We spent the evening hanging outside by the fire pit, and it was the perfect little getaway for me and my fiance.

Really enjoyed our stay at Sessions Retreat and Hotel. The staff was nice and attentive. We were invited to an event at their bar and had a really great time. We booked this place as we brought two pups along and this is by far the best pet friendly accommodation I have stayed in. I plan on returning to Big Bear in the near future and I don’t plan on staying anywhere else.

Great place to stay. Staff were amazing and encouraged us to explore the common areas. Fire pit, hammocks, pool table, lounging area etc. Buildings have lots of character.
