Stayed Jun 28, 2025My wife and I spent one evening at the Yak Shack this weekend and we could not be more pleased with our experience. The price was right, the location good, the check-in and check-out procedures seamless, and the property well appointed and immaculately clean. We were in town to visit a nearby church so the location was excellent; located within the Historic District and close to downtown. The property appears to be relatively new and evidences zero wear/tear. This is an ideal location for an individual or couple who want to experience the ambience of old Wilmington and be close to all the downtown area has to offer. We highly recommend Brittany and Ryan's Yak Shack and hope to return.

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!!
