I happily discovered the Session Retreat Hotel based on a friend’s recommendation for a unique and stylish stay in Big Bear. The exterior was charming, but upon entering the room and communal spaces, the decor and style were beyond expectations – a blend of retro and space-age, reminiscent of a captivating museum. The proximity to the ski resort and downtown village made it convenient for play, dining and nightlife. We were thrilled to explore the innovative concept of the new Bar, the Flatlander on the property. This boutique property impressed us at every turn, and we felt like we had uncovered a hidden gem before it becomes the next big thing.
What an amazing place!!! Great for pets. The owners/managers on site were incredibly accommodating. There are fire pits, tons of games, and tons of recreational space. A huge full kitchen with fridges and an outdoor barbecue. A separate bar and lounge area where we spent a ton of time hanging out. They also will shuttle you into town to shops and restaurants. There’s a 7/11 across the street if you need to get basic things. Also he gave us a tour of the property and there’s a lot of different room options which is cool. We went with 15 people and everyone can’t wait to go back.
