Sheep Mountain Lodge - Chickaloon, Alaska

Sheep Mountain Lodge is an absolute gem and staying here is unforgettable experience! Nestled in one of the most beautiful locations I’ve ever seen, with breathtaking mountain views in every direction. The cabins were cozy, spotless, and the perfect place to relax after a day of adventure.

One of the things that truly impressed me was how accommodating they were with food. As a vegan, I sometimes struggle to find good options in remote locations, but Sheep Mountain Lodge exceeded all expectations. They offered delicious plant-based meals.

But the absolute highlight of my stay was the helicopter tour with the owner of the lodge, Mark. It was beyond anything I could have imagined! Flying over glaciers, dramatic peaks, and untouched wilderness was surreal. Mark’s knowledge and passion for Alaska made the experience even more special—he didn’t just show the sights, he shared fascinating insights about the land, history, and wildlife. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that I will never forget.

Sheep Mountain Lodge is more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience. The combination of warm hospitality, incredible scenery, thoughtful food options, and world-class adventures makes it an absolute must-visit. I can’t recommend this place enough and will definitely be coming back!

My wife and I loved our winter getaway here at Sheep Mountain Lodge. My wife had briefly visited the lodge in the summertime on her way out to a geology field camp, and we both enjoyed our March visit here. Our classic cabin had everything we needed for our two-night stay and the food at the lodge is great. We particularly enjoyed the nice, large hot tub. It has its own little room and you can sign up for time slots, so there's a certain sense of privacy even though it's not in your room. The staff is also very friendly and accomodating.

We went on a really fun snowmobile tour with Ryan at Alaska Mountain Tours and we hope to come back one day and do a helicopter tour!

My wife and I eloped at Sheep Mountain Lodge and had a phenomenal experience.

Mark, the owner, pilot, photographer, and officiant, is extremely personable and very good at everything he does. My wife and I never felt unsafe in the helicopter, all the photos he took of us were stunning, and he did a great job officiating such a special moment for the both of us!

Steve, who handles the rooms and customer service, was very friendly and very accommodating. As soon as we got to our room our dog got nervous and peed the bed, but we apologized and told Steve about it before our flight and by the time we got back we had fresh sheets!

What began as a lighthearted joke between my wife and me—"Let’s just elope somewhere remote, maybe a glacier? LOL!"—turned into a reality, thanks to Mark and the incredible team at Sheep Mountain Lodge! They expertly handled every detail over the eight months leading up to our special day, accommodating our last-minute requests for private dressing rooms (the bride had to keep her dress a surprise!) and even arranging an extra flight. Everything was absolutely perfect!||The lodge itself was everything one would expect from a remote Alaskan getaway: comfortable, well-equipped, and just the right amount of rustic charm. ||Mark was the most remarkable Owner/Host/Wedding Coordinator/Pilot/Officiant/Photographer we could have hoped for! (Yes, he really did all of that!) His right-hand, Mary, also played a crucial part in making our day flawless. Our wedding dinner was phenomenal—the steaks were cooked to perfection, and the desserts were truly delightful! Just when we thought it couldn’t get better, we received our first wedding photos before even landing back in Montana ten days later. It turns out Mark and I both have an eye for great moments: he for photography and me for capturing the beauty of my stunning bride.||We are already looking forward to returning to Sheep Mountain Lodge to renew our vows!||Thank you so much for everything!||Paul & Terral Messina |Great Falls, Montana

This has to be one of my all time favorite remote Alaska getaways, especially in winter. It's an easy drive from Anchorage, yet a world away, surrounded by snow covered mts and trails and northern lights. The cabins are cute, warm, and efficient, on well-water and septic. The restaurant is great (order room service in winter). The hot tub is a treat. They allow dogs. Staff are super, owners are attentive to the property and guests. Trails are not extensive, but they are good, and enough to get out to bike hike or ski. Oh, and don't forget the helicopter and snow machine tours!! I hope every Alaskan can take a getaway here.

Did a helicopter tour to the glacier to see Ice Caves, didn't stay at the hotel since it was full. Tour was fantastic, pilot/guide, and all the other staff were fantastic, super friendly and welcoming. Fantastic value and the best part of our trip to Alaska.

Beautiful location. We had a great time exploring all of the Nordic trails. Saw moose every day. The food that we ordered was awesome. We will definitely be back.

This is our second trip to Sheep Mountain Lodge. We are enjoying our stay in the mountain house. The staff has been very helpful and quickly takes care of any problems. We were hoping to enjoy the snow machines but the snow hasn't cooperated with us. This won't be our last trip here and look forward to another stay.
