Awesome, spacious stay
Sessions is a stunning hotel. We really enjoyed our stay and were especially grateful for how welcoming they are to pets. Room photos are very accurate and the location is ideal. Overnight stay was really quiet, so we slept very well.

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

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!

Feb 5, 2025
We had the double queen room for 2 adults, 2 kids, and medium-size dog. It was just enough space for us. Their beds are comfy and the bathroom was spotless and appeared remodeled with new tile. The room could have used one more lamp, kind of dim inside at night. Fridge was nice and cold - kept our ice packs frozen. Service was friendly and helpful. We were arriving late and the office texted us ahead of time with check in info, keyless entry, and Wi-Fi password. They also turned the lights and the heater on ahead of our arrival. Overall, we had a good experience and was perfect for our overnight trip.

Wonderful stay, easy checkin and our process. Nice shared space with updated rooms and facilities. No elevators for rooms on second level. Not a big deal for us but incase others need it.
