The cutest little loft!
The yak shak was adorable! Me and my best friend were in town to explore and go see all things OTH. The shak was so clean and the bed was the most comfortable thing I’ve ever slept on in my life. We literally had to peel ourselves out every morning. The complimentary coffee mugs are too cute and a super sweet souvenir to remember the trip by. I also appreciated the ease of the check out process. The owners are super responsive too. I give it a 10!!

The Yak Shack was a beautiful, clean, quaint and secluded get away nestled under an ancient oak within walking distance of historic downtown Wilmington. Brittany and Ryan were great hosts. Quick and easy check-in. We will definitely visit The Yak Shack in the future.

A Hidden Gem
We had a short stay at The Yak Shack to kick off our retirement vacation. Brittany & Ryan were perfect hosts. Their space is immaculate, beautifully decorated and everything you need to be completely comfortable. We’ve only been gone a day and have been raving to many people about them & The Yak Shack. Great location, close to everything and right in beautiful, historic Wilmington. Thanks for everything Brittany & Ryan~ we’ll be back!!
