Location: Lake Whitney, Prairies & Lakes, Texas, USA (On Lake Aquilla, Just a Few Minutes from Lake Whitney)
Accommodations: Cabin/Ranch House, 3 Bedrooms + Loft, 2 Baths (Sleeps 8-10)
GREAT LINKS BELOW: "Links to more information" below has MANY more pictures and they are mapped in Google maps. Zoom in with the "satellite" view and you can see how everything is arranged on the ranch...or zoom out and see where the ranch is located. The other link lets you see the ranch in a "Bird's Eye View"...
Trinity Trails Ranch is 24 acres of heaven, located deep in the heart of Texas. The ranch is nestled between the towns of Whitney and Hillsboro on Lake Aquilla just an hour 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, 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 cabin, built just last year, is 1350 square feet arranged in a great open floor plan. 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, canoeing 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 100 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.
A complete kitchen stocked with all the normal appliances, two coffee pots, 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.
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.
CANOES: Life jackets are provided and must be used at all times. Children must be accompanied by an adult when in the canoes.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
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 the Owner Chose Lake Whitney
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.
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin/Ranch House
Canoeing and fishing on the lake, hiking through the woods, great times around the campfire out back, enjoying the quiet woods and active wildlife, and great times with friends and family.
