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.

Everything was as described. The house was lovely and perfect for us. We had 8 people stay (4 adults and 4 kids) but it could have held more comfortably. The host was gracious and accommodating to our requests. We slept comfortably. We would definitely stay here again.
A quartet of high school classmates have an annual reunion. This year, we all went horseback riding near Waco and chose this secluded cabin to get away from everything/everyone. It fit the bill perfectly and the gracious host even left us a welcome card & treats. Fantastic time all around!
We all had a great time at the cabin. It was quiet and peaceful. The outdoors area was great as well as the lake. Loved the firepit. Made lots of great memories with family and friends.
What a wonderful cabin! Had all the amenities, all we had to bring was food. Quiet and spacious with ample space for a family! I highly recommend you stay here if you are looking for somewhere to relax :)
Loved the cabin, accommodations were great and we had a great stay. The location was very convenient. The only suggestion would be that the porch and outside around the cabin would be cleaner.
The perfect place to go when you are looking for privacy and want to get away from it all. There are walking paths to the lake. Property nicely equipped.
The house was perfect my family enjoyed it a lot I would definitely recommend this house to family. The lake was fun to explore kids had a blast would definitely rent again..

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.

I'm glad you had a great time. The dog was probably from a neighbor's ranch. It is curious but should not bother you. Come back anytime!
We were seeking much-needed rest and relaxation, and we enjoyed that and more. We enjoyed the seclusion of the cabin, so that it was very private. Yet it was close enough to Hillsboro to make it convenient to drive there for meals and shopping for groceries. The cabin was very comfortable and nicely-decorated, stocked with everything we needed.
Loved this place, perfect for family christmas, room for gatherings, playing games and eating. Kitchen perfect for family gathering. Rooms great, great water pressure for long hot showers. The kids loved the loft area. Lots of time spent outside around the gas fireplace. Will be back.
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.

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.
