Getting Here

Location icon The Sentinel

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.

Room 7 is a cozy queen room on the lower level of the Lodge. It's favoured by guests who love containment, a dark sleeping space, and appreciate the savings offered by using a shared bathroom, steps away. This room does not have a direct lake view, but is adjacent to our beautiful sunroom which offers plenty of sunlight and beautiful views of the lake.

Sunroom Nest

Accommodation
The Sunroom Nest is a glamorous word for shared accommodation in our Sunroom with up to three other people.

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.

The team is solid, and we were well taken care of
I enjoyed a transformative women's retreat here with Anastasia Chomlack and felt like the Sentinel staff was really well organized, and on top of the needs of my facilitators. They were always available for the many last minute things that come up at group events. Gorgeous setting, everything was really clean, and beautiful. The food was delicious -- they did a great job at that too.

Warm, Grounding, Expansive Luxury!
This space is held by the land and you can feel that every nook, cranny, gathering, grounding, rest, community and sacred space has been devotionally created to host people in their expansion.

First, the staff are outstanding. Hands down the warmest hospitality and attention to our needs.

The shared rooms were luxurious with private on-suites, soft linens, stocked bathroom, blackout curtains, and gorgeous views.

The gathering house and meals were delicious and cosy. Perfect for deep conversations and delicious healthy meals in soft and inviting spaces.

The Maloca overlooking the lake was spectacular! What a sacred space for ceremony, integration, yoga, stretching, breathwork...and my fav: dancing! :)

The amenities were also outstanding: hot tub, dock, waterfront, green space, hammocks, viewpoints, sauna, cold plunge....nothing was forgotten (including dairy-free latte machine- yum!)

Cannot wait to come back and experience this gorgeous property!

Starlight Medicine Retreat: 5/5 stars!
I had an amazing retreat experience at The Sentinel with Sarah Salter-Kelly. Sarah and The Sentinel staff work so well together to provide a very safe container for deep work, the retreat was well organized with all the details worked out. The accommodations and meals were absolutely amazing.

Sarah is a powerful healer, space holder and wisdom keeper. She gives her all in retreats and you feel very seen, heard and loved. I always learn
so much from her and leave her retreats feeling centered, grounded, empowered and that layers of healing have been tended to. I highly recommend Sarah Salter-Kelly and The Sentinel.
