Getting Here

Location icon The Sentinel, 5278 Amundsen Road, Kaslo, BC, 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.

Accommodation

All our King and shared Twin rooms have stunning views of the lake and mountains. Whether you opt for a luxurious private King or a shared Twin, all our rooms are clean and modern. Ensuite bathrooms have heated floors, a rain shower, and amenities for your comfort. Fluffy white towels and crisp linens are found in every room — our goal is to ensure can relax and refresh during your stay with us.

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.

Astounding
Another amazing weekend at the Sentinel. The maloca, a temple, the land and water, the staff, and the food...all astounding. I wish I could give it 6 stars.

Will be back. So grateful.

Incredible Space
The Sentinel has offers unique spaces to relax and dive deep, each of them special in their own way. From the cedar sauna and hot tub/cold plunge, to the Maloca and the authentic Mongolian Ger, the lodge and the grounds themselves. Breakfasts were nourishing, healthy and plentiful, I wish I could have eaten more! The rooms are spacious, very clean and beautifully designed. Everyone that works there is kind and helpful. They understand what hospitality is! Highly recommend the Sentinel to stay - one night is not enough!

A truly magical space with a deeply nourishing feeling. The property is beautiful and well-kept. All the bedrooms and common areas were clean and well appointed and had a warm and pleasing aesthetic.

Wonderful place to relax!
This is the second time I have visited the Sentinel. I went in the fall and the spring but I would be curious to know what it's like staying there in the summer.

The chefs make great food and you cannot miss out on that.

The hospitality is great as well and hopefully they finish their new building soon.

For those that want to do a quick hike, Fletcher Falls is nearby.
