Overall Ratings & Reviews The Sentinel

Absolutely incredible! Everything was perfect and cozy.

An absolute GEM… one of the best experiences ever! We just happened upon this place but will be back! And for an extended stay! This place literally made our trip unreal!

Nice room, nice view, excellent hot tub and sauna as well!

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

Amazing place!, beautiful grounds and view of the lake, excellent room, staff and delicious breakfast (additional cost). Highly recommend staying here if you are in the area.

Can’t say enough good things. Can’t wait to return.

Really nice place! Loved the outdoor sauna/hot tub and cold plunge!

Very good, friendly staff and willing to help out. So thanks for the beautiful location with an awesome view. Very clean! Peter & Melody

A stunningly beautiful place to relax, think and enjoy nature.

Amazing

Stunning property and great hospitality! Definitely coming back!

The Sentinel is a magical place. The facility is fabulous and the setting is breathtaking. The staff think of everything to make your stay comfortable. This is my second visit and I will continue to return and bring friends and family.

Great stay

The views are stunning, the communal space is so incredibly cozy and, the cedar hot tub and sauna was so nice to relax in. The rooms are modern, new, and fresh. We'll be going back ASAP.

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.

This was one of the most beautiful places I’ve stayed. The staff was outstanding, so kind and helpful. The room was amazing and the beds comfortable. It was a joy to stay here.

We had a wonderful, if short, stay at the Sentinel. Absolutely stunning surroundings, perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful break from the outside world. Breakfast was lovely, and we felt well taken care of by the easygoing and friendly staff.

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
