    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.

    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 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.

    Nice, off the beaten path. Stayed in one of the cabins a couple of nights. Very quiet setting. Pulled in and saw many deer along the drive and yard. Full kitchen. Comfortable bed. Beautiful scenery. Cabins are a decent distance away from each other to have privacy. Went for a short walk and only heard the wind in the line trees. Glad we found this place.

    Perfect Vacation Spot We stayed at Yak Ridge Cabins on our Black Hills family vacation (2 adults and 2 older children). The cabins are located in a perfect central spot (20-30 min from anywhere you want to go). Clean and comfortable in a quiet and scenic location. It was a little tight, but a perfect place if you want the conveniences of home on vacation.

  • 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!
