About this cabin rental

Nestled in West Pennington, this charming cabin for $304 per night is a great option for your next vacation. 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 enjoyed our stay at this cabin! The owner was easy to communicate with. The kitchen had everything we needed and we enjoyed eating dinners on the porch overlooking a beautiful view (the large septic ponds didn’t bother us too much, no smells). The porch area does get a little windy at times and cold at night but our girls loved the electric blankets and said the porch was cozy and fun!

The cabin was amazing. We had perfect weather for utilizing the sleeping porch with plenty of blankets available for warmth. We love sleeping in a cold room and this was great. Nice touches of family memorabilia the made you feel at home We would definitely stay again.

We took my elderly in-laws and our kids but scheduled it without realizing in advance it was Sturgis week. I checked in at the KOA office to let them know we were going to be at the cabin, but the desk clerk said we didn’t need to check in with them but we’d have to pay to use the pool or rec areas. The owner sent great instructions on how to access the cabin, but I still had to ask for help before I found the obvious sign out front. Oops! The cabin was huge, spacious, clean, and comfortable. Yes, the KOA retention ponds are in view, but have no odor to the cabin and geese, deer, and horses are all frequent visitors around the ponds. Mountain views are a tip of your head upwards! The attached KOA is busy and can be loud, but we did take advantage of their dining facilities and ice cream shop when we couldn’t get in anywhere else due to bike traffic. The beds were comfortable and the extra blankets came in handy for chillier mornings. The kitchen and coffee pot were a blessing! We used the dvd player to unwind with the kids. The kids loved climbing the large rocks and seeing the chipmunks run up the exterior of the fireplace. The cabin was tucked far enough away from the campground that the only real noise was nature and the horses being rounded up, which we enjoyed seeing. We did take the scenic Palmer Gulch Road out the back of the campground to avoid all the foot traffic, and loved the pretty views and winding road into Hill City. We wish we could have stayed longer!

We had fun staying at Hynes cabin. You can see the Harney Peak/ Black Elk peak in the deck. You can even hear the 1880 train. We did horseback riding and rode the banana bike—tons of things to do around black hills. I recommend this place specially if you have a small kids.
