City style Meets Mountain Life

This hotel is our new favorite spot! It's the low key vibes of adult summer camp, but with all the style and comfort of a NYC four-star hotel! Beautiful, photogenic rooms; sensitive eye for detail in all the decor; and fun nooks and finds around the property, from tether ball, to pickle ball, to a pool, to hanging hammocks, and a beautiful mini hike. I'd recommend this to any couple, single, or family looking for a retreat in the forest that offers that perfect balance between city comfort, and outdoorsy fun. Impressed enough to write my first review on here!

We really loved our stay at Sessions and will definitely be back because our room was fun and they are very doggy friendly. We were also pleasantly surprised when the owners made us burgers on the house. The only reason I didn't give them five stars is because they had a large wedding party during our stay. Because of that it was tough to get the staff's attention when we needed help and the office was often closed or unattended. Even with that we loved their vibe and the staff couldn't have been nicer when they were available. Definitely want to give them another shot when things aren't so crazy for them.

Friendly staff, close to the village. Our request for a top floor room was honored. The room was pretty outdated. There was only one set of towels supplied for 2 people. The room has no AC so it got hot in June. The pool was under construction. Overall okay place to stay.

We had an outstanding stay. Paul checked us in and was super friendly and helpful. While checking in, we met one of the owners, Frank, and he saw that we had kids so he sent a smores pack to our rokm. He guided us through all of their activities. They have a carriage that they can take you around the property in, fire pits, grills, a separate lodge with a pool table and kitchen, and a really cool boat with pirate gear for the kids to play in. They even have a lounge that serves beverages that is open until 10pm. The rooms were spacious and cozy. There was a lot of thought that was put into this property. It seems to be owned and operated by a husband and wife and they do an amazing job. We will definitely be back.

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.
