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!

Its all in the details....you won't be disappointed

We stayed at the Yak Ridge Cabins for a "staycation" and would highly recommend this property to both locals and tourists alike! Minutes from Rapid City and all the Black Hills has to offer, yet once there you feel completely surrounded by the beauty and serenity of the Black Hills. The owners have taken great care to think of every detail including stained glass lights, treats upon arrival, herb boxes on the front deck which you can utilize as you gas grill, pillows on the deck chairs and much more! We didn't want to leave!

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.

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.

We stayed for a week, it was a great central location to all the attractions. We did badlands, windcave, jewel cave, mt Rushmore, Custer, crazy horse, deadwood, spearfish canyon. After hiking and site seeing it was great to come back and relax on the porch or around the fire pit of this cozy little cabin . Everything was clean and well stocked and some great goodies from the owner. Only minor suggestion would be some more hangers for clothing. Also not quite as private as we like but definitely would stay again!! Didn’t hear the neighbors at all really! Saw deer and turkey nearly everyday from the cabin.
