Getting Here

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.

Sentinel experience

The sentinel is an absolutely beautiful space the setting is amazing. The spa is a great way to start the day with a sunrise soak in the hot tub followed by a cold plunge in the copper tub. Sauna fired up for an afternoon sweat. The Maloka has a very good energy to it. Lastly the staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the sentinel.

Great one night getaway

It is a beautiful place, right on the lake. Rooms are all facing the lake. Main house is open for everyone, for tea coffee and use of fridge etc. the living rooms in the house are cozy and inviting. You can opt to have breakfast there in the main house in the morning, cooked by the chef. We had a very very delicious breakfast there. Thank you. And Janet who welcomed us when we arrived, made us feel very at home from the moment we met her!

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!
