Awesome, spacious stay

Sessions is a stunning hotel. We really enjoyed our stay and were especially grateful for how welcoming they are to pets. Room photos are very accurate and the location is ideal. Overnight stay was really quiet, so we slept very well.

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!

Nicely updated cabin with a fun mid-century vibe. Fireplace was great and the kitchen (though we didn’t use it) was fully equipped. Heater worked well and the bathroom was clean (the only downside is that it was small). Overall, very cozy and comfortable stay!
