As soon as we entered the property there was an internal sigh...beautiful!
We experienced the honest welcome and 5 star hospitality of Dustin, JJ and all staff. The meals were amazing. Check out the Sentinel Signature Breakfast Oatmeal!!
The rooms, the sauna (best wood burning) and hot tub completed the stay.
We will be back!!!

I cannot express how amazing this experience was. From the phenomenal service of the workers to the amazing food this is a place worth spending a few days to relax, grow, become inspired. The view was unreal. My Gf and I were shocked by how nice the rooms were.

Thank you so much for the amazing hospitality!

I cannot say enough great things about my experience at The Sentinel. The accommodations were lovely and luxurious. The vibe is very chill and earthy. The staff were super friendly and willing to go the extra mile to make my stay perfect...which it was without them trying!
The food was nourishing and yummy! The atmosphere is one of being in someone's home and having all your needs met. The natural surroundings are gorgeous and healing. I only wish I could have stayed longer!

What a gem of a place. When you get there all you can think is how beautiful the setting is. You are surrounded in mountains and beautiful lake. The actuals rooms are beautiful, especially if you book one with a view. The beds were super comfortable and everything was very clean. The people at The Sentinel are amazing. They make sure you are well taken care of and I can't speak highly enough about the owners. I would highly recommend this place to everyone. They always have different speakers, teachers and educational sessions going on up there. Thank you for making a difference in our community.
