Sessions Retreat & Hotel

“Thoughtful and Cozy”

We had an outstanding stay. Paul checked us in and was super friendly and helpful. While checking in, we met one of the owners, Frank, and he saw that we had kids so he sent a smores pack to our rokm. He guided us through all of their activities. They have a carriage that they can take you around the property in, fire pits, grills, a separate lodge with a pool table and kitchen, and a really cool boat with pirate gear for the kids to play in. They even have a lounge that serves beverages that is open until 10pm. The rooms were spacious and cozy. There was a lot of thought that was put into this property. It seems to be owned and operated by a husband and wife and they do an amazing job. We will definitely be back.

“Best Hotel in Big Bear!”

Sessions retreat is a total vibe! We were lucky enough to book a club room last minute and for such a great price! Check in was super easy and we were greeted by Frank, Tootsie and Pepper.

Sessions retreat is a total vibe! We were lucky enough to book a club room last minute and for such a great price! Check in was super easy and we were greeted by Frank, Tootsie and Pepper. (Love how it’s also dog friendly too!). The owners of this hotel really have an attention to detail and care about the comfort of their guests, as well as the experience. The club rooms are clean and cozy yet, spacious, even with two queen beds. The beds, pillows and linens are extremely comfortable. I mean how many hotels provide Quince European linen quilts on their beds? The mini fridge is also not just any mini fridge, it’s a retro Frigidaire. The hotel has a really cool bar with a great selection of drinks. Sydney let us access the bar before a private party and even gave me and my husband the first round on the house. And even made a Shirley temple for my son. If that’s not hospitality, I don’t know what is! The hotel also has community lounge area with a pool table, seating areas with fire places and a large communal kitchen stocked with anything you could think of. The art and decor gives retro meets cabin cozy. I don’t understand why some people don’t love it…must be boomers or just Karens looking to complain about something. Sydney even told us all the decor is second hand or thrifted, which I appreciate because it reduces waste, pollution and creates a circular economy. The location is also very ideal because it’s very close to the village and lots of great little restaurant’s in the area. Thank you Sessions for an awesome stay. We will definitely be back!!!

“New Charm at an old site”

Looks like the old wolf’s lodge have new owners and they are working hard to make a memorable place. We stayed in cabin 237 a quaint 2 bedroom cabin in the middle of the property.

Looks like the old wolf’s lodge have new owners and they are working hard to make a memorable place. We stayed in cabin 237 a quaint 2 bedroom cabin in the middle of the property. We spoke with one of the owners and he gave us updates on what they been up to, lots of updates but great plans. The cabin has all amenities.. main heater, full kitchen, futon, 2 queen beds and small bathroom. There is a main heater that gets the cabin very warm but u may need a little more in the rooms or leave the doors open, we understood this is a cabin so central heating is not a thing. The area is great for families as there is a large area to play in on premises along with games outside. There are fire pits and hammocks for summer. There is also an indoor playroom with pool and games to hang out in and another area with a full bar, fire place and lounges. They are still working out additions so come with an open mind, it’s more like staying at a friends home rather than a place your just a numbered guest. Friendly people running the area but staff is not at full capacity so be patient and enjoy the area which is ample. It’s also close to the village shops and snow summit. We will be back
