    Amazing! I've typically had good experiences with HomeAway rentals, but Julie's welcoming just took our experiences to another level. The cabin provided everything we needed and more.
    Julie,
    Thank you for doing your part in providing my family a great experience in S. Dakota!

    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!

    This was a lovely cabin! True to photos. Cabins are far enough apart that there was a lot of privacy and quiet. We saw many deer! We would definitely come back!

  • Perfect This cabin was perfect! We planned a trip to Mt. Rushmore and this was ideal. So close to the actual monument but we still had a camping feel being in the cabin. There is also an attraction right next to the cabins that is very family friendly and apparently not widely known. We will 100% come back here again.

    Everything we wanted and more Our first visit to beautiful SD was only made better by this sweet, cozy cabin tucked away on a hillside in the black hills. My husband and I loved everything about it.....the size, location, amenities, decor. It was that perfect little rustic cabin that we dreamed about getting away to from our hectic lives. Everything we could have needed or wanted for a comfortable stay was in the cabin, and then some! We will be back!

  • Beautiful cabin in the woods We arrived late at night and were looking for great comfort, which we received at this beautiful cabin. It was easy to enter, everything was spotless clean, and we felt immediately home. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the black hills more!

    Excellent Just as described! Excellent location. Located in the woods, but just off a main road and perfect location to all the main sights and attractions. We loved the fire pit in the evenings and the layout of the cabin was great for our family of 5. Cabin was super clean and had everything you would need. We enjoyed the welcome snacks when we arrived - such a nice touch! Highly recommend!

    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!

    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.

  • Great cabin. Perfect setup. Great location. Just be careful turning off of the four lane highway. No turn lane.

    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!
