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!

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

We had a great experience at Sessions.
The check-in was very easy, great communication system through texts, and very fast response.
Close to everything, pretty much walking distance to everything, including the slopes.
We loved staying here, and would highly recommend.

Very cozy and convenient location for nearby shops and restaurants.
Certain things like space and noise from other guests weren’t the best part of the stay.
