What Our Guests Say…

  • We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Yak Ridge! The cabin was clean and very well equipped. The farmstead was quiet and off the highway. It is is also close to Mt Rushmore and other surrounding attractions, making it a great place to stay as we explored the area! Check-in and check-out were incredibly smooth. The extra touches Julie and Jim added made us feel at home.

    Jim and Julie’s cabin was so amazing! Comfy beds, silky sheets, great kitchen resources, and perfect for 6 people. Beautiful location, easy access to surrounding areas, and gorgeous scenery! Jim and Julie were on site and easily available with a shoot of a quick text. Would highly recommend!

    We stayed in cabin 4 Very quiet, clean, comfortable cabin felt like home away from home. I would recommend to anyone, especially if you have another couple or kids bedrooms and bathrooms on opposite sides of the cabin. only thing I would like to see on cabin 4 is a screen door so you can leave the main door open and let some light in and fresh air.

    Fantastic cabins in the heart of the Black Hills. My family loved our stay and Julie and Jim were lovely hosts. The cabin had everything as advertised and much more. Julie was kind enough to show my family around her farmstead; my kids absolutely loved feeding the Yaks.

    By far one of the best places we have every stayed. The cabin was exactly what the pictures showed. Super close to all of the sights we wanted to see, yet in the woods and hills that you would never know how close you were to the city. Family friendly - amazing place for kids to get outside and explore nature. We highly recommend this place. Thank you for opening your space to us.

    Little Slice of Heaven! We had a wonderful stay at Yak Ridge Cabins. I chose Yak Ridge based upon the convenient location for the Mt. Rushmore Half Marathon. Couldn’t have been a better experience. The cabin, No. 4, was the perfect size for 2 couples. It was nicely decorated and extremely comfortable. Julie is a gracious hostess who took us on an interesting tour of her farm. I would come back again.

    Perfect location. Ever so quiet and peaceful. Parking right next to your cabin. Cute front porches to sit and drink coffee on while you see all the wildlife. Hospitable hosts that don’t leave you hanging for a second if you need anything at all. Enjoy! Stay and extra day! I know I wanted to!
