Sessions Retreat & Hotel

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 lov

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.

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
