About this property

Trinity Trails: Cedar Springs Cabin on 6 private 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.

This custom designed ranch house we call a 'cabin' was built in 2014 and is nearly 1550 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. There is also built in queen and full beds in the loft. The couches will work in a pinch for lager groups but is not a sleeper.

Come enjoy the cabin, use a canoe on the lake, fishing off the shore, sitting around the fireplace on the porch, 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, canoe only 50 yards away with a caddy to make it easy to wheel them to the water. NOTE: The path is steep at one part so two people may be needed

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 a 55' flat screen TV with a home theater system and a number of DVDs of various genres. A complete kitchen stocked with all the normal appliances, coffee pot, pots/pans, dishes and glasses, cooking utensils, and a gas grill on large patio means all you should 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(s): Life jackets are provided and must be used at all times. Children must be accompanied by an adult when in the canoes.

Nice

Location was convenient to family. House could use a good deep cleaning. Kitchen cabinets sticky and lots of cob webs. Had the swifter heads left on been clean I might have got a few cobwebs removed. Setup was nice and we enjoyed extras found in kitchen. Might have used grill but back leg was a bit unstable. Outside firepiit was a hit. The Christmas tree and decorations were a nice touch for granddaughter to see

Great getaway and cabin.

The cabin looks just like the pictures on the website. It's well-maintained with all of the comforts of home. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and serve meals. Their friendly dog greeted us opon our arrival with a welcoming handshake.

Nice, quite place.

Found this place to be very quiet and away from the crowds. The area had just experienced a significant amount of rain, so the mud was quite sticky down by the lake. We were happy they could accept our reservation on a short notice. The property manager was very willing to work with us and I would recommend this property to friends.

Family time

Description was accurate. I was pleasantly surprised It was more spacious than I thought from the pictures. Having the 2 eat at tables was exactly what we needed. Quiet and peaceful. Property manager was quick to respond regarding a few questions. Would Definetly book another stay if needing cabin that size.

Great Weekend

The cabin was perfect on the inside...clean with everything we needed. The porch was dusty and full of cobwebs. Lots of wasps. The heat kept us inside, but if we had wanted to go out to sit on the porch, we wouldn't have done so because of its condition.

Horrible !

We checked in late and the house was so dirty that the owner immediately reimbursed our cleaning fee. The mold drawing out of the shower and the refrigerator had a very nasty smell. My family was so disgusted the we book for three days and leave the following night. If I could rate zero starts, that would be our rating.

very nice.

had a water leak into the fridge because of icemaker. 1 ceiling fan did not work in a bedroom. unable to use canoe because of steep grade going to lake 30 to 40 degrees is not safe. if you could of got the canoe to the water there were too many trees. also too many trees to even safely swim. went to lake whitney.

Relaxing

Cabin itself was great. Felt more like a house not a cabin but nonetheless relaxing. Myself and 12 friends had a weekend trip out at this cabin and enjoyed the surrounding woods, trails down to the lake, camp fire, and scenery in general. One night we stayed outside by the fire after 10 pm and the neighboring cabin filed a noise complaint. So if you like staying outside late (past 10 on a Friday night?) turn the music down since some neighbors can apparently hear you very well from a long ways away. There was also a really sweet Aussie dog that visited and I really wanted to take him home. If you're reading this boy, I miss you! I doubt I'll stay in this cabin again since Hillsboro is pretty boring but I enjoyed the experience.

nice but needs a few changes

Loved the property but couch and king bed are not for handicap people. the couch is a lot lower than normal couches so it makes it hard to get up from it. the king bed is just the opposite. it is so high I had to use a step stool to get on it. also I know it is in the woods but around the cabin it would be better if it was mowed. the grass was high between the cabin and the swingset. We killed a copperhead in that area and you couldn't see it which is scary when you have children playing on the swings. Overall we had a very good time.

Great spot to get away!

Overall, this is a great property. It's extremely quiet, the house is in wonderful condition, and lots of extras like a nice television (if you have members in your party that just can't seem to break the addiction), outdoor grill, outdoor fireplace, lots of seating, beautiful windows, and nice bedding. It's not too far from places like Lake Whitney State Park, a grocery store, etc, but it's still far enough away to feel like you're away from the city. The only downside is that we often go kayaking and canoeing when we visit the lake, and we partly chose this location because of the onsite canoes and life jackets. However, it's not really as easy as it seems - it's quite a walk to the lake entrance, including transversing a fence line, so I wouldn't really count on this as part of your activities. It's doable, just not convenient. We don't fish, but there were lots of people fishing nearby. If you want to go swimming, Lake Whitney is only about 20 minutes from this house - you wouldn't really go swimming here because of the lack of shoreline.

We've stayed here before with no problems but this time was different

Since we stayed here before without any issues we already knew what to expect. The property owner had previously had excellent communication and there were only minor issues to deal with at the property, so small in fact, that we didn't really care about making a complaint about them. This time there was a major issue that we reported as soon as we arrived and the property owner treated it like it was not a real concern. It was the type of problem that should have warranted an immediate response and an immediate fix, but we had to deal with it the whole 4 days were were there. Unfortunately, our group has made the decision to never rent this location or any other properties owned by this person again. While I would like to say the stay was great for all the good things we like about the location, in the end our group unanimously agreed our 7th annual trip was ruined by the problem we experienced at this location.

We have always wanted to have a cabin in the woods we could share with friends and family and we finally built that dream on a very special piece of property!

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 cabins.
