Yak Ridge - Cabin 1

The cabin was very clean and well furnished. Julie was the host and really thought of everything people may need while during their stay. The farm tour is also great if you have kids coming along. It was really neat waking up in the morning and seeing deer just a few yards away from the cabin also.

Winter Wonderland

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Yak-Ridge Cabins. While we were there during the off season, in March, 2018, there was still plenty to see and do. First, the cabins are only 5 minutes from Mount Rushmore and all other attractions are within an a short drive (one hour or less). Second, the cabins were clean and comfortable, with all essentials for a family, including, extra heaters since we were from Florida. The property was covered in snow and did not disappoint in its beautiful landscape. It was like staying in a Winter Wonderland! Thank you Julie! I hope next time we have more time so we can tour the farmstead.

Perfect little cabin

Loved this little cabin. Owners have definitely put some thought and effort into making it comfortable and efficient. Loved all the hooks around the cabin for storage. Included a suitcase holder. Enough chairs and furniture. Everything you need in a kitchen. I’m so impressed by all of it. I really appreciated the little welcome kit with snacks. There are visitors brochures for local attractions and a large map. It’s very well thought out. The outside fire pit area has chairs and a large picnic table. There was a picnic table cloth. It is far enough off of the highway to feel secluded and not hear any traffic but still extremely close to vacation attractions. Only regret is not having enough time to tour their family farm. Definitely on my list for next time we book here!

Short stay, but wonderful

The cabin was just as listed. Very clean and well stocked with all of the necessities and some fun extras. It is a small cabin, and there isn’t a lot of storage space, but it should be just fine for most people. We were on the tail end of a three week trip, so we had large suitcases and a ton of extra stuff. Property is wonderful. Lovely to sit on the deck and watch the deer. Very close to Mt. Rushmore, without being in the middle of all of the tourists. We were able to beat the crowds by going early and then go back at night to watch the lighting ceremony. If we’re ever back in this area, we would stay here agajn.
