Overlooking spectacular Kootenay Lake, the Lodge, with its massive windows and expansive deck affords breathtaking lake & mountain views. The Maloca, a magnificent round, timbered ceremonial and activity space, seems to float above the lake. A short stroll from the Lodge, the Sentinel's spa deck, with its unique wood-fired sauna and cedar-lined hot tub is a favourite gathering spot for guests, year-'round. 700' of lakefront, with deck, firepit and yoga area is a tranquil spring/summer area.

Getting Here

Location icon The Sentinel, Kaslo, British Columbia, Canada

Directions

We are a 50-minute drive north of Nelson, BC, just outside the charming village of Kaslo. We are 9 hours by car from Vancouver, and 8 hours from Calgary. These drives are incredibly beautiful, wending through some of North America's most spectacular mountain terrain. There are flights (approx. 1 hour) from both Vancouver & Calgary to our nearest airport, in Castlegar, which is a scenic 1.5 hours from our door. Driving from Nelson, follow highway 3A north to Balfour (Kootenay Lake ferry landing), and proceed another 20-25 minutes on Highway 31 north. There is a "Sentinel Retreat" blue road sign on the highway (approx. 60 km from Nelson). Slow down and prepare to take a sharp right turn onto Amundsen Road. The Sentinel is located at bottom of the hill. Please observe signs. Read More

Starlight Medicine Retreat: 5/5 stars!
I had an amazing retreat experience at The Sentinel with Sarah Salter-Kelly. Sarah and The Sentinel staff work so well together to provide a very safe container for deep work, the retreat was well organized with all the details worked out. The accommodations and meals were absolutely amazing.

Sarah is a powerful healer, space holder and wisdom keeper. She gives her all in retreats and you feel very seen, heard and loved. I always learn
so much from her and leave her retreats feeling centered, grounded, empowered and that layers of healing have been tended to. I highly recommend Sarah Salter-Kelly and The Sentinel. Read More

Absolutely lovely
I had such a relaxing experience at the Sentinel. I felt I was surrounded by so much beauty, created by both, nature and humans.
I decided to try the sauna and cold plunge interchangably one night after the sun went down and it was such a beautiful reset to my nervous system. The sauna is so cozy and had some powerful revelations. To finish it off I went into the hot tub and admired the starry night for a while. So peaceful! Such a treat to my soul!
Not to mention the staff are a God sent. They are helpful and very caring humans.
