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.

Tucked between the trees and overlooking the lake, The Sentinel offers a different kind of stay - quiet, spacious, and intentionally simple. Spring brings longer days, fresh air, and more time to be outside, whether that’s by the water, moving between sauna and cold plunge, or just settling into stillness.
Everything is set up so you don’t have to think too much about what comes next. You can just arrive, and ease into it.

As spring approaches, the water opens up again and the days stretch a little longer. Kayaks off the dock. Cold plunges that wake up the body. Heat from the sauna that lingers in your bones. Quiet moments looking out across the lake.
These aren’t just amenities, they’re part of the rhythm here! Movement, contrast, stillness, and fresh air working together to reset your system after winter.
At The Sentinel, the shift in seasons is something you feel, not just see.

Most people don’t realize how tense they’ve been until they finally relax.
True wellbeing is a regulated nervous system, clear thinking, and feeling steady in your own skin.
At The Sentinel, we focus on creating the conditions that support that steadiness; rest, nature, thoughtful structure, and space to unplug from constant input.
When your body feels safe and your mind feels clear, you don’t need to escape your life. You can actually return to it stronger.

Spirituality can mean many different things to different people, so does wellbeing. For some, it’s faith. For others, it’s nature. For many, it’s simply the feeling of being steady, connected, and at home within themselves.
At The Sentinel, we honor that your path, and your definition of ultimate wellbeing - is your own. We welcome people of all backgrounds, belief systems, and lived experiences. Our role is not to prescribe meaning, but to hold a space where you can explore what feels true for you.
A space for thoughtful support, respectful practice, and room to arrive as you are.

“The only thing better than the surroundings was the staff.”
We’re deeply grateful for every guest who chooses to spend time with us at The Sentinel.

The Sentinel is hiring!
We are currently seeking a Guest Experience & Operations Coordinator - a role that sits at the heart of the property, helping ensure that every retreat unfolds with care, organization, and attention to detail.

Working closely with our team, this position supports the daily rhythm of The Sentinel by coordinating between departments, ensuring rooms and shared spaces are retreat-ready, assisting guests with personalized requests, and helping manage the logistical flow of the property.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in thoughtful hospitality environments - someone who is highly organized, anticipates needs before they arise, and carries a calm, steady presence during busy retreat transitions.

Responsibilities include supporting guest concierge services, coordinating group arrivals and site orientations, conducting daily property walkthroughs, assisting with operational reporting, and helping oversee the readiness of the property alongside housekeeping and maintenance teams.

If you feel aligned with the spirit of The Sentinel and enjoy creating seamless experiences for others, we would love to hear from you.
