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, 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.

How to describe the indescribable?
Without getting too deep into it, it was the biggest gift one could receive. I was trying to go in with an open mind, but of course my own judgements were deeply entrenched and I went in with the "take it with a grain of salt" attitude. That feels practically foolish now. I am so grateful for Gillian and Richard, but words are useless in the case of trying to describe what they did, and DO, for everyone. It's the most special experience I think I've ever had, and is continuing to improve how I exist in the world each day. It was by no means easy for me, and it was absolutely worth it.

wonderful time by the lake
We had a great time at the Sentinel. Our room was comfortable and clean and the view of the mountains beautiful. We enjoyed the access to the lake and how close we were to town to go grab lunch and shop.

Spectacular
Man, i did not realize the Magic I would be stepping into with this property. Blew me away, my room was serene.. comfort and design amazing. Amenities beyond. Sauna and cold plunge were my fav. Cant forget having a morning kayak on the lake. The art work displayed all around the property is my jam. I felt like I was home 🫶 Ill be back!! ✨🪶💫🌿🌊🙏🩷
