Spring at The Sentinel feels like a quiet return; longer light, softer air, and the lake beginning to open again.
It’s a season that invites you outside, but also inward. Mornings by the water, time between the sauna and cold plunge, and space to sit, reflect, and take in the stillness of the Kootenays as everything begins to shift.
Simple, unhurried, and deeply restorative, this is what spring looks like here.

Reconnect. Reflect. Restore.
A spring stay at The Sentinel, designed for hotel guests and small groups seeking space to slow down, reset, and spend time close to nature. Set on the lake in the Kootenays, this offering is built around simple, restorative rhythms; mornings with chef-prepared breakfast, time between the cedar sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge, and quiet access to the yurt and maloca for personal practice.
Each stay includes two nights in our lakeside lodge, daily breakfast, two 60-minute bodywork sessions, and thoughtful details to support a more intentional pace - from time by the fire to uninterrupted space to rest and reflect.
Optional additions are available for those who want to go deeper, including massage, somatic therapy, yoga, and visits to nearby hot springs.

Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated. It can be as simple as creating the time and space to check in, reset, and take care of yourself in a way that feels natural.
At The Sentinel, the environment is designed to support that, quiet, comfortable, and connected to what actually matters.

Sauna. Cold plunge. Hot tub. Reset.
A cycle that works with the body - heat to open, cold to invigorate, and time in the water to restore and settle.
Set within the trees at The Sentinel, these experiences are intentionally designed to support how you feel, not just how you spend your time.

Hearing how our guests experience their time here is what continues to shape The Sentinel.
Each stay is different, but the intention remains the same, to create an environment where people can step away, reconnect, and feel grounded in a way that stays with them beyond their time here.
We’re grateful to be part of that experience. Book your stay at sentinelbc.ca

This is what we get to witness every day, and what keeps The Sentinel alive.
It’s found in quiet, unforced moments. Settling in, feeling at ease, and fully arriving into the experience of being here.
Over time, that sense of comfort becomes more visible, an ease in the body, a presence in the moment, a genuine enjoyment of the surroundings.
This is what shapes the atmosphere at The Sentinel, and what continues to define it.

Meet Richard & Gillian!
The Sentinel’s founders and co-CEOs, Gillian Maxwell and Richard Kay, are partners in both life and vision.
“We think of The Sentinel as a custodian, a steady presence that watches over the land and cares for those who spend time on this property.”
At its core, The Sentinel was created to hold space for a wide range of experiences.
The path to self-discovery is not one-size-fits-all, it may take shape through music, movement, rest, or time in nature. However it unfolds, Richard and Gillian built The Sentinel to support that process - quietly, intentionally, and with care.
