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.

Guests rave about our food! Sentinel meals are prepared with ingredients sourced whenever possible from our organic, on-property garden. We can accommodate virtually any dietary requirement.
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.

Lovely Get-Away in the Forest
My wife and I want to thank Taylor for her patience and follow through working with us to get our stay booked and the details set just right. We also appreciated Tessa's wonderful meals that accommodated special dietary needs. Thank you all for your care and concern to make our holiday very special! TDG from Spokane, Washington

A special place
I was referred to The Sentinel by a friend who had attended a group retreat. She simply said, "You must go."
I have just returned from a three-day visit to this special place, and I would simply say to anyone who asked, "You must go." But I would add that you should be prepared to leave part of yourself at The Sentinel in exchange for a light that will depart with you.
I look forward to my return.
