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!

Peaceful Cabin in the Woods

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!

Great location and amenities

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!

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
