Sessions Retreat & Hotel

I love this place. We were in the group accommodations which were cozy and most of all fun - it's full of unique art and furniture collected with love, nothing corporate or cookie cutter / just wild and beautiful imagination. The service was amazing - we met the owner himself who was so gracious and took care of all of our needs. Can't wait to go back.

It's my first time staying here and let me tell you I fell in love already ...looking forward to go back in a warmer days so we can enjoy the pool.We are a lil sad that when we went its not snowing yet but its super cold which my kids enjoy it too.The room that we stayed in was a motel style with 2 queen beds a bath and fridge.I wish its a lil bigger space for the kids to roam around but its still perfect for a family of 4.They also have a bigger room and suite to choose from.I highly recommend this place .complimentary coffee tea and hot choco in their lobby/office where you check in staff are lovely and nice.I didnt get to see the bar area as theres an event when were there but definitely will go back and stay here again.If you happen to see my review i have 15% off code to share to save you a little bit. use my code (BBSESH)

Sessions Retreat in Big Bear is such a hidden gem. It’s not a traditional retreat where you’re on a strict schedule — it’s more like a boutique mountain hotel designed for people who want a wellness-style experience. The property has everything you’d want to relax and reset: sauna, cold plunge/ice bath, outdoor fire pits, and beautiful spaces to hang out and unwind. It creates that perfect mix of comfort and recovery where you can actually slow down and enjoy being in the mountains. What I loved most is that it feels intentional without being forced. You can relax, socialize, journal, or just sit by the fire and take in the Big Bear atmosphere. The wellness amenities make it feel like a mini retreat experience, but with the freedom of staying at a cozy mountain lodge. The vibe is peaceful, the design is beautiful, and the amenities make it such a cool place to stay if you’re looking to recharge. If you're visiting Big Bear and want something more unique than a standard cabin or hotel, Sessions is definitely worth it.

Sessions Retreat & Hotel was one of the coziest locations I have ever stayed! Epic location in the town of Big Bear, super close to all of the restaurants and not far from Snow Summit or Big Bear Resort. The sauna and cold plunge set up on the deck was unreal, same with the flatlander bar. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for an escape to the Mtns. 5 stars !!!

We stayed at Sessions Retreat & Hotel for the first time when we decided to add an extra night to our Big Bear trip, and it was such a great choice. We had adjoining rooms one with two queen beds for two couples and a king room next door for a family of four, which worked out perfectly. I loved how cozy the space felt, and the details throughout the hotel were so cool, unique, and thoughtfully done. My sister and I are very detail oriented, and we both noticed how well the design was balanced with function. Venicia was incredibly kind and accommodating, which made our experience even better. She helped ensure our group could stay next to each other, and we truly appreciated that. The location is also very accessible, which was a huge plus. I definitely recommend Sessions and would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you to the entire Sessions team for such a memorable one night stay!

All I can say is wow. We went for the weekend to snowboard on the mountain. It’s super close. And actually right in town. So you have access to all amenities and the best food in the area. Then grab free parking and shuttle up straight to the mountain. Super comfortable. I came with my family. We were able to park at the hotel and shuttle straight to the mountain. Feels like ski in skit out. Close to town. Get whatever food you want. Walkable to restaurants and bar. Literally 10 minutes walking, 2 minute to downtown bars and restaurants.

I enjoyed my nights sleep. Venetia at the front desk was wonderful. McDonalds and 7-Eleven right across the street and yes, Uber Eats will delivery do your door, but be mindful of traffic when you place an order! Also I really didn't notice road noise from Highway 18 and the room was well insulated, there was a crazy storm the night I stayed but I was comfy and warm. TV doesn't have cable but there are some live channels and you can log in to your streaming service of choice on their smart TV.

Our entire company stayed at Sessions Retreat and Hotel for a weekend event, and it was absolutely perfect! The space is so unique, cozy, and artsy — it felt like a home away from home tucked in the mountains. Every room was spotless, smelled amazing, and had thoughtful touches that made the whole stay feel special. A huge shoutout to Sydney, who went above and beyond to help us all weekend (even late at night when we wanted to roast s’mores by the fire!). The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating with all of our company events, making everything run so smoothly. We’ll never forget this magical little place in the mountains — it was the perfect mix of comfort, creativity, and hospitality. Can’t recommend it enough!
