Nestled in the heart of Alaska, on North America’s tallest peak, Denali, Sheldon Chalet sits at an elevation of 6,000 feet, overlooking the majestic Ruth Glacier in the Don Sheldon Amphitheater. Perched on the privately owned Sheldon family nunatak, a rocky outcropping of titanium and iron above the glacier, the Chalet offers unparalleled views of the surrounding citadel of peaks. Despite its remote setting, Sheldon Chalet is surprisingly accessible, just a short 1 hour and 15-minute helicopter flight from Anchorage or a 30-minute flight from Talkeetna. It's a rare opportunity to experience such pristine remoteness, a mere 50 miles from civilization.
The hexagonal design of Sheldon Chalet ensures uninterrupted vistas of Denali and the surrounding mountains from every vantage point, indoors or out. Built for year-round enjoyment, the Chalet boasts outdoor decks and a helipad that doubles as an observation platform, the perfect location for late-night aurora viewing and other celestial observations. Inside, expansive open common areas foster easy conversation and relaxation, while upstairs, five luxurious guest rooms offer panoramic mountain views from the comfort of your bed. There is no other property like Sheldon Chalet, and we invite you to become part of its legacy.

Nunatak(noun) nun·a·tak : a hill or mountain completely surrounded by glacial ice.
In the mid-1950s, before Alaska statehood and the expansion of Denali National Park in 1980, Don Sheldon staked claim upon this rocky, five-acre parcel of land. The nunatak, Mountain House and Chalet are a slice of rugged Alaska like none other, as the Sheldon family remains the sole private landowners within the boundaries of Denali National Park.
The first floor of the Chalet was thoughtfully designed to maximize breathtaking views and allow for conversational space. Within this common area you'll find the kitchen where chef crafts delectable cuisine, a handmade Alaska birch dining table, cozy fireplace, sofa, wingback chairs, and an intimate library nook stocked with notable Alaska titles.
The second floor of the Chalet features a thoughtful, clean design ethos, with five beautifully-appointed bedrooms and two full bathrooms. With ample space to accommodate a maximum of 10 guests comfortably, or provide an intimate experience for smaller groups, each room is designed to ensure utmost comfort and relaxation in the tradition of Nordic style.
Experience the very best of Alaska cuisine with a world-class dining experience at Sheldon Chalet.
