ALSO GOOD TO KNOW
• Mountain setting: Boom Chalet is located in the forested community of Sugar Pine. You’ll enjoy peace, quiet, fresh air, and dark night skies—this also means occasional wildlife and natural surroundings.
• No air conditioning: The chalet does not have A/C. Thanks to the elevation, large ceiling fan, heavy curtains, and cool mountain evenings, guests rarely find it necessary.
• Backup generator: Power outages are uncommon, but the chalet is equipped with a backup generator for added peace of mind.
• Getting around: A car is recommended. The chalet is about 15 minutes from Oakhurst for groceries, gas, and dining, and roughly 15 minutes from Yosemite’s South Entrance. Parking is available on-site.
• Seasonal conditions: Winter weather can occasionally bring snow or icy roads. Four-wheel drive or chains may be required during storms, and guests should check conditions before arrival.
• Creek access: Lewis Creek flows through the property year-round. Guests should supervise children near the water and be mindful of slippery rocks.

Guest access
Guests have exclusive access to the entire chalet and property, including the private back deck. Check-in is easy via a keypad on the front door. You’ll receive a unique access code approximately 24 hours before arrival, which you can use throughout your stay for flexible coming and going. Free parking is available in the driveway.

Neighborhood highlights

Boom Chalet Yosemite is located in the small, historic community of Sugar Pine, a quiet enclave of mountain cabins surrounded by a towering pine and cedar forest. Sugar Pine sits just 11 miles north of Oakhurst and 9 miles south of Yosemite’s South Entrance, offering a peaceful setting without sacrificing convenience.

Oakhurst is the closest town for groceries, gas, dining, and entertainment—an easy stop before or after your Yosemite days. The Sugar Pine community itself is made up of roughly 50 cabins, many dating back to the early 1900s, giving the area a relaxed, timeless feel while remaining welcoming and easy to navigate.

From the chalet, you can head into Yosemite for the day, hike directly onto the Lewis Creek Trail, or enjoy slow mornings with coffee by the creek. It’s an ideal base for exploring Yosemite while staying somewhere quiet, scenic, and uncrowded.

Where I went to school: Williams College & UC Berkeley (Haas)
My work: Real Estate
I grew up in Southern California and spent part of every summer in Yosemite as a kid—it was never enough. Years later, I bought our Sugar Pine cabin, now called Boom Chalet, so my family could spend more time in the mountains and we could all share what makes the Sierras so special. I also own and manage Wailea Oasis in Maui, another place I've loved for decades. Both homes are set up to deliver thoughtful design, peaceful surroundings, and a stay that feels easy from start to finish.
