The Hynes Cabin- 1925 Renovated Classic with Stunning Views

We were looking for a rustic cabin near Custer. When I saw this cabin had a sleeping porch I was hooked. And I LOVED the sleeping porch. But there are some things renters should know.

The cabin sleeps 7. However 5 of the 7 sleeping spots are on the sleeping porch. The only thing between you and the elements is a canvas shade. We had thunderstorms a few nights and temps in the low 50s. It was like sleeping in a tent with a wood floor and roof. It is cozy! On a warmer night without rain it would be amazing. I loved sleeping next to my kiddos in their own bed. There are portable heaters you can plug in. There is a queen bed in the living room which can be sealed off with French doors. We had a sick kiddo so he stayed in the potion of the cabin and was very comfortable with his own bed and bathroom. That part of the cabin is all original wood and stone. It is beautiful.

My favorite part of the day, though very early- 5:30 am every day except Sunday they bring the horses from next door to the stables at the front of the KOA. Although I didn’t want to wake up at 5:30 am on vacation, it is a beautiful sound to hear the horses galloping by and the wranglers calling them. I will miss that morning sound.

You will hear everything on the porch. The cabin is located in th staff area of the KOA. The horses are literally next door, the employees campsite are next to the driveway. The sleeping porch overlooks the service road. We could hear staffs ATV and trucks until 11 pm. Clanking chains and gates. I am a light sleeper so I heard all the sounds.

The cabin is very well stocked and as clean as a nearly 100 year old cabin can be. The beds are all very comfortable. The linens and towels are high quality. The kitchen has a ton of spices and other things you won’t typically find in a rental. Overall I really loved the cabin. It is a special place.

Beautiful, well taken care of home. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and the access to the KOA activities was a plus! Great family vacation for all of us.

Very comfortable and clean. Needed air conditioning 2 out of the 3 days but it was very cool during the evenings. Loved the koa activities. It was amazing to see the horses running free.

Book this cabin! You will love it. Very comfortable. You will want to spend all your time on the porch. It is so pleasant.

Our Hynes Cabin stay for a family reunion was comfortable and cozy with beautiful views of mountains and wildlife and close to many of the Great 8 of the Black Hills .. would definitely return.
