Beautiful cabin in an amazing setting, just mins away from Mount Rushmore. Had a great time with the family. From the check-in to check-out everything was flawless. We will definitely be back.
Excellent place to stay. Responded quickly to any questions. Even meet us at the highway late at night to make sure we made it to the correct place. Highly recommend!
The location ideal. Private but accessible. Very well equipped cabin with such nice personal touches. The layout of Cabin 4 was perfect for two friends vacationing - a common area, and two very nice bedrooms with their own baths at opposite ends of the cabin. So well thought out! We would highly recommend!

Really glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciated how well you took care of the cabin. Thanks again for staying with us… hope to see you again.
Todd and Cathy are THE most amazing hosts! Their property is GORGEOUS, the cabins are IMMACULATE, with everything you need and could want. Centrally located with ALL of the attractions nearby! Todd is a WEALTH of information as far as things to see, times to go, amazing pizza places and just all around, SO knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the area. Seriously.ZERO need to look anywhere else if you're coming to this part of South Dakota. Don't waste your time. Get here!

We loved our family trip here. The location allowed us to visit many areas in the Black Hills and beyond. The host was kind and helpful. The setting was quiet and serene.
The cabin was off the beaten path, but in a perfect location for easy access to many tourist attractions and day trips. The layout of the cabin was perfect for our family that includes an adult son. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This is one of our favorite VRBO stays. The cabins are ideally located, well stocked, clean and comfortable. Chris and Cathy were great hosts and provided lots of information about local sites. I would highly recommend this property.

So glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for taking such great care of the cabin. Hope to have you stay again.
Yak Ridge Cabins are in a central location, close to many activities and attractions in the Black Hills area. They are clean, cozy, and comfortable- the perfect spot to rest and rejuvenate during a vacation. My family highly recommends staying at Yak Ridge and we hope to be back!
The location was central to everything we wanted to do in the Black Hills. There were so many extras at the cabin, from the welcome basket, to the yellow rubber ducky for the kids for bath time. Everything in the cabin had a purpose. We had an excellent stay!

Best Vacay Ever!
This cabin was amazing! The location couldn’t have been any better! It was off a dirt road and in the countryside, but so close to all of the big attractions we wanted to see. The cabin itself was so perfect! It was cutely decorated and extremely clean. We hope to come back soon!
We enjoyed our stay at Yak very much. The split floor plan was ideal for our group. The welcome snack basket was a real treat. Everything about the YAK was top notch.
I wondered before we stayed here, how does someone keep a perfect score. Then we realized right away, cozy cabin, great amenities, very friendly hosts, etc.... The firepit with wood was a blast. It sits in the woods, yet you're right around the corner from Mt Rushmore, great hikes, restaurants, etc.... You will be very happy
