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!

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!

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 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.

Great central location

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. We were very happy with this choice and would Recommend!

Sturgis stay in South Dakota

The cabin was beautiful and very peaceful. Julie was johnny on the spot to answer any questions I had. The welcome basket and treats in the fridge were a welcome and thoughtful touch especially after a 10 hour trip. The only downside was having a motorcycle the gravel and hill that our cabin was on made trips in and out a bit treacherous at times. My suggestion would be to share with potential renters that information. Overall very good place to stay, especially for those that like a more private experience away from the hustle and bustle.

We really enjoyed staying at Yak Ridge Cabin. The cabin is clean and has everything you need. There's even board games and books for your spare time. It is centrally located - close to everything yet nestled in quiet woods full of deer, fawns and wild turkeys that we loved to watch at dusk and dawn. Trully a hidden gem in the Black Hills.
