The Hynes Family Cabin is a once-in-a lifetime experience. Built by our grandparents nearly a century ago, the cabin will transport you and your family back to the beautiful, authentic charms of the Old West, while you enjoy plenty of modern amenities.

The cabin sleeps seven, with three twin beds and two queen beds. Its 40’ wide sleeping porch is unique, and has a truly breathtaking view. Our grandparents chose this location for the most beautiful vista they’d ever seen. At sunset, you’ll see Mt. Elkhorn and Black Elk Peak (formerly Harney Peak) glow pink and gold. An occasional rainbow will dazzle you. Each morning you can watch a herd of horses running from their nearby pasture to the stable.

Children love the Hynes Cabin. Great climbing rocks are all around. Our original ball and claw bathtub is on the porch, filled with pillows and inviting kids to read and snooze. “A Boy’s Life in the Hills,” written by our dad, shares tales of his many adventures. Our guests love to sit on the porch or in our cozy living room and read tales about the West. It’s a place that encourages rest and renewal, with lots of fun things to do close by and a quiet place to come home to at day’s end.

There’s a chest full of fun family games and a DVD player. KOA amenities – trail rides, a water slide, miniature golf, two swimming pools, movie nights and pancake breakfasts – are available. Only the trail rides and pancake breakfasts have a fee. Many nearby trails invite hikers of all skill levels. Iconic Mt. Rushmore and charming Hill City, “the art capital of the Hills,” are both just six miles away. Pristine Sheridan Lake, where the family can swim, fish and hike, is only a 15-minute drive away.

The Hynes cabin is a perfect place for a romantic getaway, too. Its beauty, quiet and privacy will help you relax and refresh. There are two queen beds, one on the porch and one in the living room.

There are so many personal touches that you’ll feel right at home. Our handsome queen headboards were made by a local carpenter, and the four pine chests were built for the cabin in 1925. Frances made all the curtains by hand, just as our grandmother did nearly a century ago. On the porch there’s a display of some of the daily objects she used: her apron, her Vaseline glassware, her Mixmaster and other objects. The coffee table was made from the cabin’s original closet. Newly installed solid wood doors compliment the cabin’s authentic feel. A book of photos tells the history of the Hynes Cabin.

The 40’ wide sleeping porch is just as it was 100 years ago, with our family’s saddles hanging on the rafters. Antique light fixtures from the 1930s adorn the two bathrooms. The newly refurbished kitchen is fully equipped. And for nearly 100 years, guests have been sharing their memories and whimsy on paper plates that are all part of this truly unique experience. We look forward to hosting you in our Hynes Family Cabin.
~ Frances and Arthur Hynes

    We absolutely loved the cabin and its location. Also, rich history. The horses running past the cabin twice daily was a treat. The cabin was very well stocked with pretty much everything we needed. If I had to make any improvements it would be that there was no cord to hook the router for the tv and the grilll also did not work. So wouldn't count on those two items as amenities. Overall great place and I would go back again.

    Of all the places I've rented, this is my favorite. Cannot beat the location and amenities and charm this place has. Loved the paper plates on the walls. The host had this stocked with everything we could possibly need and more. Loved watching the horses run every morning and evening, the various wildlife living the rocks near the cabin, and the beautiful views, especially every evening. I hope to take many more vacations in the Black Hills, and this will be the place I look first to rent.

    Great cabin with a fresh air sleeping porch! We enjoyed camp fires, the KOA fun zone, and late night movies back at the cabin. It was a memorable adventure and a return trip!

    We loved staying in the Hynes Cabin! The charm of the 100 year old cabin and sleeping porch really made our trip. It was comfy and a great place to land after a day of exploring the Black Hills. We wished there had been WiFi just to be able to plan our day out, look at directions for our outings, and reserve tickets for tours.

    What a wonderful treasure! This place reminded me of a home I used to visit in the Adirondacks, so it felt nostalgic. The view was amazing. We appreciated the warm bathrooms because we were there with a cold front, and it got really cold. LOVED it here!

    Wonderful experience. Great location. Perfect cozy family cabin. The only negatives were not in host control (weather). A few small changes I’d make if I lived there, but nothing that would stop me from staying again. Every amenity we needed was already there. Was worried the shower would be cold but the wall heater worked beautifully. The view was priceless. Loved watching the horses running through. Saw deer in the pasture grazing with the horses. Fun climbing rocks. Nice to use the fun zone and pool at the koa. Too many positives to list. Dont wait to book this lovely cabin!

    Great place to listen to the rain, watch the sunset and listen to the horses. I will be coming back again. Cell service was bad and no WiFi at cabin. Yet for me that was perfect. If you are doing any work during your stay you will need to drive to the front

    The kids loved the sleeping porch. The KOA can be a bit noisy in the evenings, but wasn’t unbearable. We took the kids down to the FunZone one morning and ate at the All You Can Eat Pancake breakfast. It was a great place for our family!

    The Cabin was extremely clean! We loved hanging out in the screened in porch. We played cards and ate our meals out there. My boys enjoyed sleeping with the fresh air! The best surprise was there were dozens of horses out to pasture behind the cabin. Absolutely beautiful!

    We love the Hynes cabin! It was our 2nd time staying there and it didn’t disappoint. We love how quaint it is, the sleeping porch, hearing the horses stampede down the hill every morning! It’s so special.

    Booked the cabin to fulfill my mother’s bucket list. Mount Rushmore was to be our adventure. However the cabin sealed our adventures as well. The cabin felt like home so much to see at and around the cabin. The joy of a nightly fire the ability to cook outside and the rocks for the kids to climb on brought everything full circle. Perfect place for families to stay. The greatest besides the camp fire was watching the horses and deer play tag behind the cabin as the sun was setting.
