Sheldon Chalet may be the most remote luxury house in the world. It stands on a nunatak, a granite outcrop rising from the glacier, at an elevation of 6,000 feet in the Don Sheldon Amphitheatre of Denali National Park, and it is reached by helicopter. The wilderness that surrounds it is on a scale that recalibrates everything else.
The chalet is octagonal, with oversized windows on every face so the mountains are present in every room. Exposed beams radiate from a central fireplace, and 2,000 square feet across two storeys hold five warm, generously dressed bedrooms sleeping ten guests. A sauna, a serious spirits collection and long dinners against the mountain light shape the evenings.
The observatory deck serves as launchpad for helicopter and glacier adventures by day and as the finest imaginable seat for the aurora borealis by night. A full recreation and dining itinerary is arranged around each stay.

The exact address is shared once a stay is confirmed.
The chalet stands on a granite outcrop in the Don Sheldon Amphitheater of Denali National Park, and it is reached only by air. Most guests fly into Ted Stevens Anchorage International, then continue by helicopter — around half an hour from Talkeetna, or a little over an hour direct from Anchorage. The flight in over the Ruth Glacier is part of the arrival, and we arrange it as part of the stay.
