Yak Ridge was everything we expected!! The pictures don't do the property justice!! We love the fact that we were able to cook our own meals and that all of the utensils were provided with the cabin. It was also pretty cool to look out our window and have deer within 20 yards of the cabin. The location was great, quiet and relaxing! It was also centrally located to alot of attractions. Todd and Cathy were great hosts. Definitely 5 stars and we are looking forward to going back!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!AAA

I LOVED the location of the cabin. In the woods and quiet but close to town. Close to our main attractions. The cabin was just the right size for myself and my 2 teenagers. The owner greeted us and was helpful with suggestions of what to see in the area. They even have firewood available on site to purchase. Would definitely recommend!

Cabin in the Woods Near Rapid City

Yak Ridge Cabins are the perfect place to stay if you are looking to stay close to nature, but still have easy access to Rapid City, with all the amenities of home! The cabin is very well appointed with just about everything you might need. Hosts were amazing and it is evident how much they have invested in the property to ensure guests are comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor private fire pit and even cooked a little dinner out there one night. The location is so close to so many great attractions, making it the perfect home base for exploring western South Dakota. Thanks so much Todd & Cathy!

Peace and Quiet

We were lucky enough to share in the peace and quiet that this little cabin provides. Even though there are a couple other cabins nearby, we never had anything more than the whisper of the wind in the trees, and the occasional rooster call. We loved every moment here and will be back sooner than I’m sure we both would have thought. Thanks

We absolutely loved staying here! It was a nice, private, quiet cabin beautifully decorated. We enjoyed seeing deer on the property everyday The owner Todd was accessible and responded promptly to our questions. Check in was a breeze. They provided a container of snacks in the refrigerator along with a little gift package of shampoos, soaps, etc in the bathroom. The mattress on the bed was so comfortable that we plan on ordering the same one ourselves. Couldn't be happier with our choice. 5 stars without a doubt. I'd actually give it a 10 star rating if it was offered

Wonderful and beautiful place to stay

Arrived late so wasn’t able to set up fire and roast s’mores over the fire pit with my family. So arrive with daylight b/c the cabin sits nicely in the woods. The inside decor is top notch. New everything. Nice bathroom. Comfortable bed. All the pans, utensils and spices you need for a meal. The attention to detail, such as the outside hanging flower planters made the cabin warm and comfortable as a home.

We spent a week at this cabin celebrating my wife’s and my birthdays and anniversary. It was perfect! The cabin amazing…very cosy. Great view and location. Welcomed with a gift basket of snacks and fresh eggs. There was also a gift bundle in the bathroom. Location was perfect. Got to visit all the major attractions in the area. Would definitely rent this cabin again. We would like to bring family members and rent a bigger cabin which they also have. We got to see wild deer and turkeys. There was also a resident squirrel that would visit on occasion. Would highly recommend renting these cabins.
