Sessions Retreat

Six Acres of Forest · One Unforgettable Stay

Explore

Not a hotel. A gathering place.

Some places let you sleep. This one lets you belong. Sessions sits on the largest privately-held resort acreage in Big Bear Lake — nearly six forested acres threaded with walking paths, outdoor games, and quiet corners made for reading, napping, or doing absolutely nothing.

Every cabin is an original — hand-painted murals, mid-century furniture finds, and design details you won't see on any booking site. Step outside and there's a fire pit with someone already telling a story, a cold plunge that'll wake you up better than coffee, and a bar where the bartender probably knows your name by sunset.

"We showed up as a couple and left with a group text of ten people. There's something about the fire pit, the bar, the whole layout — it just pulls strangers into the same orbit. We've never experienced anything like it at a hotel."

"Woke up, walked to Snow Summit in ten minutes, skied all morning, came back and sat in the sauna until my bones stopped aching. Then the bartender at Flatlander made me something with mezcal and I forgot what day it was. Perfect."
