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.

King Room with Lake View

Our king rooms are elegant, lake and mountain facing boasting ensuite bathrooms with heated tile floors. All rooms were intentionally designed to enhance a reflective and serene stay away from home.

Twin shared room (per person)

Accommodation
Our twin shared rooms are elegant, lake and mountain facing boasting ensuite bathrooms with heated tile floors. All rooms were intentionally designed to enhance a reflective and serene stay away from home.

Queen Room

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.

Reflection and learning
Between all the modalities used for meditation and self reflection I can’t imagine a more comprehensive retreat. I loved that every day felt like a new level of healing took place and there was space for integration.

Beautiful facility, wonderful staff
Everything was perfect. An amazing natural setting with lake and dramatic mountain views, perfect for contemplation. Every meal was delicious and healthy. All the amenities are provided and thoughtful touches abound. The staff are low-key and low-profile, but attentive and responsive. The Maloca gathering space is inspiring. Loved it!

A reverent review of The Sentinel Retreat Centre from a facilitation point of view
Facilitating a retreat at The Sentinel was truly a dream come true. Every detail from the stunning property, the sacred land, the gorgeous decor, the incredibly caring staff, to the spotless cleanliness reflected a deep reverence and respect for the work being done there. The food was nourishing and delicious, and every corner of the center was imbued with beauty and intentionality, right down to the altar items thoughtfully placed throughout the spaces.

From the moment we arrived, it was clear that The Sentinel is a sanctuary. The owners have created a truly sacred and healing environment, and their commitment to their vision is evident in every aspect of the center. Because everything was so seamlessly cared for, the other facilitators and I were able to give our full focus to the group — knowing that all of their needs were held by this extraordinary space.

I hold deep gratitude for The Sentinel and its team, and I look forward to facilitating here again. It was a healing experience for everyone, to the highest degree.
