Our stay was perfect! This is the second time we have stayed in this cabin. It was clean and well stocked. We didn’t need to bring anything extra. The host even left a goody bag in the refrigerator for us! The cabin is in a private wooded location, but close to all attractions. I highly recommend staying here!

The cabin was absolutely perfect. Great location, central to all the attractions and parks. Mt. Rushmore is only about 15-20 minutes away. Custer State Park was about 40 minutes, but the drive there is beautiful. The cabin was very quiet and private and stocked with everything you could possibly need or want. Very clean. We saw a family of deer every morning and evening on the property. Todd, the owner, was great and made sure we always had everything we needed. We will definitely be back.

I have stayed at over 20 vrbos. This property is the best one so far. CLEAN! Example: all windows spotless inside and out. If windows are that clean the rest will follow. It followed! Thank you to those wonderful hosts. They genuinely care about their tenants enjoyment

We enjoyed our stay here very much. Purely pilot error we were challenged to build sufficient fire in the pit. The basket of goodies in the refrigerator was a very welcome surprise and the coffee was fabulous as we’re all the other goodies.

Convenient and beautiful location

This cabin is conveniently located near popular sights and attractions in the Black Hills, while also being tucked away in a beautiful spot in the mountains. We stayed here comfortably with our teenagers and all loved the location and the cozy cabin, itself. We would love to return. Julie is a great host!

Yak Ridge - Cabin 1

The cabin was very clean and well furnished. Julie was the host and really thought of everything people may need while during their stay. The farm tour is also great if you have kids coming along. It was really neat waking up in the morning and seeing deer just a few yards away from the cabin also.

Winter Wonderland

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Yak-Ridge Cabins. While we were there during the off season, in March, 2018, there was still plenty to see and do. First, the cabins are only 5 minutes from Mount Rushmore and all other attractions are within an a short drive (one hour or less). Second, the cabins were clean and comfortable, with all essentials for a family, including, extra heaters since we were from Florida. The property was covered in snow and did not disappoint in its beautiful landscape. It was like staying in a Winter Wonderland! Thank you Julie! I hope next time we have more time so we can tour the farmstead.

Perfect little cabin

Loved this little cabin. Owners have definitely put some thought and effort into making it comfortable and efficient. Loved all the hooks around the cabin for storage. Included a suitcase holder. Enough chairs and furniture. Everything you need in a kitchen. I’m so impressed by all of it. I really appreciated the little welcome kit with snacks. There are visitors brochures for local attractions and a large map. It’s very well thought out. The outside fire pit area has chairs and a large picnic table. There was a picnic table cloth. It is far enough off of the highway to feel secluded and not hear any traffic but still extremely close to vacation attractions. Only regret is not having enough time to tour their family farm. Definitely on my list for next time we book here!

Short stay, but wonderful

The cabin was just as listed. Very clean and well stocked with all of the necessities and some fun extras. It is a small cabin, and there isn’t a lot of storage space, but it should be just fine for most people. We were on the tail end of a three week trip, so we had large suitcases and a ton of extra stuff. Property is wonderful. Lovely to sit on the deck and watch the deer. Very close to Mt. Rushmore, without being in the middle of all of the tourists. We were able to beat the crowds by going early and then go back at night to watch the lighting ceremony. If we’re ever back in this area, we would stay here agajn.

What a beautiful cabin! We stayed in cabin 1 during our stay. It’s located near just about everything we wanted to do. The cabins are clean, cozy, and cute! We enjoyed the quiet nature and sitting by the bonfire. Julie is an amazing host! Our children loved the farm tour and feeding the Yaks and chickens. We will definitely be back! 5 stars!

Cute, clean & well stocked cabin

These are super cute cabins! More of a high class stay. They were in great location in woods with deer walking around and about 10 mins from town & Mount Rushmore. Well stocked in my opinion with snacks & coffee, toiletries, soft towels, information & maps regarding all the surrounding points of interest. She is very well organized & timely in responding to inquiries. Had a great time. Would definitely stay again.

Peaceful perfection

This was the perfect spot for our family on our South Dakota vacation. The cabin had everything we needed and was conveniently located to all the spots we wanted to visit. We loved waking up to wildlife every morning and the fire pit at night. If we ever venture back to South Dakota we will definitely see stay here again.
