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!
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!
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!
