Getting Here

The Sentinel, 5278 Amundsen Road, Kaslo, BC V0G 1M0, 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.

Transforming

We had an amazing stay at this wellness retreat for my birthday weekend. The rooms were very clean, and the sauna and hot tub were such a treat. Breakfast each morning was incredible — it was literally made by a private cook.
The art around the property was beautiful and inspiring, and exploring the grounds was fun. The friendly house kitties were an added bonus. The staff was kind and helpful, and their dinner recommendation in town was excellent.
Overall a wonderful experience — we can’t wait to come back!

lovely place

We loved what we saw. So many details everywhere. The view over the lake from bed - priceless.
The fireplace in the lodge, the tea station, being able to bring our dog - 100% a place to come back to :-)

The perfect staycation for the kootenays

Beautiful location, facilities, and warm and inviting staff. I am so grateful I was able to experience the sentinel in all its beauty. This is the perfect place for a calm and quiet self lead retreat. My partner and I felt so restored after our stay and can’t wait to make this a priority in our self care journey. Thank you for hosting us🙏🏼
