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

Amazing stay
We had a great stay ... the staff were welcoming and accommodating and we appreciated the access to the amenities. We indulged in the breakfast on Saturday morning and it was absolutely incredible.

From sore and tight to loose and free
When we arrived to the Sentinel I could immediately feel the release starting. My body was tight and sore and our reception and introduction to the land and facilities left us feeling like we had landed at our new home!
After a couple days we found ourselves in ceremony with Richard and Gillian where deep transformation happened in their beautiful space.
We left the Sentinel feeling completely refreshed and armed with deep teachings that are guiding us to more joy and freedom in our lives. Read More

Should have booked for longer!
I had an amazing time at the Sentinel with my wife and our dog. We had planned initially to spend lots of time off site hiking; but once we arrived that changed.

The grounds are very well kept with lots of places to sit and enjoy the view and outdoors. We especially loved the dock to the lake and hot tub.

We will be retuning and I would recommend 100% to all!

Our 1 year anniversary was a special time to be remembered.

Beds were very stiff so that can be a good or bad depending on preference. If you like a softer feel maybe bring a topper. Read More

Seeking Bliss? Head to The Sentinel
It's not often I think of a "hotel" as a gift; but that's exactly what The Sentinel is. A gift *and* an experience. I was there for an event in Kaslo, so I wasn't able to spend extended time at The Sentinel itself. But, wow, what a gorgeous place to retreat; so peaceful, so beautiful. The rooms are airy and open with stunning views. You'll be close to your neighbors (above and beside) and - at least some of the rooms - are lined up such that you'll have foot traffic in front of your big glass doors, but it's a fun way to meet folks and did I mention that view?! Incredible. And, of course, the "staff" (strangers who will become fast friends) are an absolute delight. Wholly recommend! Read More
