Trinity Trails: Lone Star Cabin in 6 acres on Lake Aquilla
Trinity Trails Ranch is 24 acres of heaven, located in the heart of Texas. The ranch is nestled between the towns of Whitney and Hillsboro on Lake Aquilla just 45 minutes south of the Dallas/Ft Worth Metroplex. There is about a mile of dirt roads on the property to explore and view the natural beauty of the woods and observe the wildlife. It’s peaceful, quiet, secluded, and the stars at night light up the sky. We hate to head back home every time we come to enjoy the ranch.
The custom designed ranch house we call our 'cabin' was built in 2008 and is nearly 1400 square feet arranged in a great open floor plan. It is situated on 6 of the acres in Trinity Trails, but you can explore the entire ranch and the 50 acres of Corp land next to the lake.
The master has a King, second bedroom has a queen, and the third has a set of twin beds that can be arranged as bunk beds. There is also a full bed in the loft and a queen sofa sleeper if you need more places to sleep.
Come enjoy the cabin, use the canoe on the lake, fishing off the shore, sitting around the campfire, and making great memories with friends and family in a unique get away that won't be soon forgotten. The cabin is about 150 yards from the shoreline, canoes only 50 yards away with a caddy to make it easy to wheel them to the water.
The incredible fishing on Lake Aquilla is one of the best kept secrets in Texas. It's chalked full of bass, crappie, and channel catfish. And Trinity Trails Ranch is set right next to one of the prime fishing spots. And if water skiing, sailing, or scuba diving is more to your liking, Lake Whitney is just a few miles away and is considered one of the top two lakes in all of Texas.
The cabin is very well equipped. We have Direct TV with a 40' flat screen TV and WIFI internet. A foosball match is always fun! A complete kitchen stocked with all the normal appliances, coffee pot, pots/pans, dishes and glasses, cooking utensils, and a gas grill on the back patio means all you need to bring is groceries.
And as with any place in the country there is a great variety of wildlife to be seen. There are deer, armadillos, wild turkey, the occasional snake, and all kinds of birds...hawks and even bald eagles have stopped by.
Security cameras outside are used only for when unoccupied and verify departure so cleaning can begin. If uncomfortable, feel free to cover with grocery bag while staying...but please uncover when checking out.
Note: Boats can be easily left just inside the front gate as there are so many trees, a couple dips, and turning around with a boat is difficult except at the pasture.
Canoe: Life jackets are provided and must be used at all times. Children must be accompanied by an adult when in the canoes.

arrived and found the facility in great condition. Everything throughout the stay was quite and peaceful. would recommend to anyone who is looking for a quite and peaceful outing.
This is our second year staying at the Lonestar Cabin. We enjoyed it very much, and are building lots of great family memories there. Thank you very much!
Our family wanted a simple place to stay for a mini vacation so we could unwind and recharge. This was a great spot, deep in the woods, to be able to enjoy the sounds of nature, bright stars, and even hikes down to the lake with some fishing poles.
This was a guys (family) fishing trip-even though the fish were not biting-the cabin was very nice and the kitchen was very well equipped. Everyone had a great break and time together.
This was our 5th trip to Trinity Trails for our Mother-Daughter get together. This is our favorite place to go of all the places we’ve been over the past 15 years.
Quaint, relaxing, and very peaceful. It was a quiet getaway yet close enough to towns for all your needs. Amenities were great, we were able to be super comfortable. We sat on the front porch and watched all the wildlife at night. Sean has a fantastic place and a beautiful cabin. We would do it again in a heartbeat!
Clean, quiet, thoughtful accommodations. Wooded property makes for private enjoyment - hosts provides for numerous outdoor activities with games, swings, & outdoor tables at nice outdoor sites, as well as hiking paths to enjoy and canoeing on the lake was superb! A great opportunity when a respite is sorely needed!
This was a perfectly get-a-way do celebrate our son’s accomplishment graduating from TSTC. We had family come and join us and with all the amenities we truly felt like we were home. Thank you for the hospitality and the opportunity to make memories that will last a lifetime.
The house was comfy and stocked. The tankless water heater made sure we all had hot showers. My kids enjoyed exploring, chopping wood, fires, and s’mores. Days were windy when we were there but once it died down, we took the canoe out and tried our hand at fishing. It takes some muscle to get the canoe there but we made it and had a good little adventure.
If you want to get away to beautiful surroundings and nature, this is the place. This getaway was a birthday present for our grandson's 16th birthday and he invited some friends. They had a blast! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The firepit was a hit and being right on the lake really topped it off.
We celebrated my mom’s 75th birthday at the cabin. We enjoyed the size of the house and it had everything we needed to make meals. There’s a grill right outside the back door which was nice too. Since it was so hot outside we had to stay in but we played games at the large dining table and made great memories.
There were nine of us total (plus one dog), celebrating our dad’s 80th birthday. Very comfortable, clean, nicely equipped cabin, good appliances, and wonderful space for a campfire. The hike down to the water was a little steeper than anticipated, which made it a bit challenging for walking and hauling gear, but overall we enjoyed our stay very much! Hope to return again sometime soon, possibly checking out some of the other properties.

Why they chose this property
I had been looking for years for just the right property for us. This heavily wooded ranch on a lake and with so much room has allowed us to build our dream cabin.
