It's a very unique location on the water with interesting artwork all over the property, four acres to explore, various buildings including a yurt and a yoga studio. We stayed only one night but we hesitated to leave because the vibe was very relaxing.

Our trip to The Sentinel was originally planned to celebrate my husband’s birthday, but somewhere along the way life, work, and the everyday hustle had started taking a toll on our marriage. We needed more than a getaway… we needed time to truly reconnect.

When I booked our stay at The Sentinel, I honestly had no idea just how special this place would be. The peace and serenity there was exactly what our hearts needed. The breathtaking views of the lake and mountains created the perfect atmosphere to slow down, breathe, and simply be together again.

Somewhere between the quiet mornings, the beautiful scenery, and uninterrupted time together… we found each other again. More importantly, we remembered exactly why we fell in love in the first place.

If you’re looking for a place to unwind, reconnect, and recharge your soul, The Sentinel is truly something special.

Overall, Sentinel is a peaceful and lovely place. Nice hot tub and sauna. It’s not convenient to restaurants or grocery. Sentinel advertised common kitchen but disallowed guests from using it. There is only a medium sized shared fridge and small microwave. Limited staff. Believe long term guests acts as staff on some chores in the property. Potential of a top rate facility but refinements are necessary.

Amazing experience

Our experience started with a lobelt rext from janet welcoming us and checking to see when we would arrive. Upon arrival we were greated by janet and the onsite dog clyde. We received a lovely tour and then was taken to our room which was amazing. The view of the mountains and lake from our bed was spectacular. I would recommend the Sentinal to anyone.

We had one night stay at Sentinel. We were looking for secluded and quiet area for our couple getaway. The property was clean and breakfast was awesome. Only feedback is that owners live on the property and always there in the main kitchen and coffee room which kind of made the whole experience little bit wierd. They were all nice and welcoming though.

The Sentinel is a unique experience. It's location is it's main draw with incredible views of Kootenay Lake and the surrounding mountains. It's main dining and living area is also a gem with cappuccinos, amazing views and natural light and friendly staff. The breakfast ($25) is also excellent. Kaslo is an amazing little town. Lots to do and an up and coming Mecca for mountain biking with the best trails in BC. Rooms are lovely and the heated bathroom floors are a lovely treat. The only reason for the 4 star review is that the rooms have paper thin walls and sound from all the surrounding rooms (snoring, talking, etc...) are easily heard - make sure you have a white noise app on your phone. Well very likely be back for a third visit!

The beauty around this property is astounding. The lake, the mountains, fantastic. The staff and facilities were perfect. There has been great care taken to make this location peaceful and intimate. The hot tub was fantastic, deep and cedar with the stars at night! Can’t beat it. They would prepare the sauna when requested, firewood no less, it was so relaxing. Kaslo was a few short miles to the north, great food and friendly people. Superb brewery, coffee, breakfast, live music in the evening…. Fantastic! Ainsworth Hot springs was a few mile back, 15 minutes. Very unique and well worth it and a very nice restaurant there. Sat out on the deck, enjoying the lake and a drink. Check this out… we went in mid September and was well worth it.

The staff were all very welcoming and friendly. It feels like you accidentally drive onto someone's property, but it was the retreat. It is a cute quiet place to get away from life's stresses and just relax in nature. The view from the rooms is spectacular. There was not a fridge in the room, and I couldn't control the air temperature, but there was a fan to help cool it down a bit. I would recommend it to groups looking for a calm and quiet getaway

Incredible location and views in Kaslo

Awesome hotel with super friendly and welcoming staff. We were met on arrival by Shannon who kindly showed us around - a first in a while at a hotel. Great room - LOVED the heated floors. Views are out of this world and the grounds and common areas are lovely and feel like your own cosy living room. We will be back for sure!! One suggestion: My wife fell between our room and the lower common room at night - the motion lights were out - had they been working, she would have noticed the stairs.

Bait and switch

Booked a room with twin beds. They only had a single bed upon arriving. I said I booked twin beds. They gave us a single room next door to give us separate beds but then the next day wanted to charge me for two rooms. I negotiated to one and a half rooms but $100 more than I was expecting to pay. Turns out they had a room with tein beds but didn't give it to us

We arrived from Vancouver and there was a bit of a mixup with the booking but they arranged for us to stay in a glamping tent, a little skeptical at first but we had access to showers and a washroom, the tent was so fancy you thought you were in a hotel. It was great. We woke up showered and went down to the dock with our coffee, tried a little fishing, the views were amazing - a piece of heaven - I am reluctant to tell you too much more as it will be overbooked all the time.

This retreat hotel is hard to find but once you are here it is a quiet peaceful retreat with common areas both inside and outside to sit and enjoy the location which is right on the lake. The room was comfortable with lots of windows but could use some \"room darkening\" shades to block out the early morning sun.
