We had looked at this property and were looking forward to a week's retreat with the family. Unfortunately some mechanical problems with the property, at the last minute, prevented us from being able to stay there. The owner assisted us in finding another location, transferred our payments to the new property and made up the difference in price. In just a short four hours we were off to our new vacation destination. We will make use of this property in the future. Good property, Good house, Good to work with. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP! I can recommend it!

Owner response:Everything is fine now.

Beautiful place

I can highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking to get away. The seclusion of the cabin makes you feel as if you're 1,000 miles from nowhere, but there are any amenities you want within a 15-minute drive. Our party consisted of two couples, a one-year old, and a 14-month old, and there was plenty of room. Outstanding place at an outstanding price. I'd recommend staying here to anyone.

I travel several times a year and have been to many Cabins but this vacation property was by far the best! Everything about this house was just amazing, all the amenities you could think of were provided and more. There was plenty of room, gorgeous kitchen and my personal favorite the big screen TV. I slept like a Queen and will definitely be back again.

5-Star Campground

If you enjoy all of the camping activities you can do with the family but not so much with the sleeping bag and the tent, then this place is perfect for your family, as you can have all of the outdoor fun in complete privacy (24 ac of mostly woods + lake + grass field + kids playground) without sacrificing the hot shower, a fully stocked kitchen, TV, internet, and nice beds,.... My family (2 kids: 4, & 6) spent a week here with my brother's (their kids: 20 & 21), and it was tons of fun. We were hiking, canoeing, fishing, and bird watching by day and play games around campfire and watch stars by night. I was glad that I brought my Xbox and Knect because that's when adults can get some quality time to chat away. And I strongly recommend anyone considering this place to bring a good binocular to watch birds by day and stars at night. We spotted 10 different bird species including eagles and the "milky way" in the sky was so clear at night with our binocular. Note: 1. There are about 6 fishing rods and a variety of hooks and baits in the tool shed, but all but 1 rod's reel still works. So if you like fishing, bring your own gear. 2. The sunset is beautiful at the lake, but I find riding in the canoe in the middle of the lake is the best place to watch sunset, but to make sure I can find my way back to the boat launch after sunset, I strapped my LED headlight on a tree about 20' higher than the water level and set it to the "flash mode" (blinks), pointing to the direction where I'll be in the lake. This little LED will serve as a beacon when I decided to roll back ashore before pitch dark. Without it, the 1 mile shore line looks the just the same to me, very difficult to point the boat at a constant accurate direction. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much! The house is beautiful (the photos don't do it justice) and spacious. It was very well stocked. Only minor problem we had was when we arrived the key broke off in the lock but that was taken care of with one phone call. We loved how it is settled way back into the wooded area but the town isn't very far away at all. Our 1 year old wanted to play outside the entire time, and so did we. The big boys caught some yummy catfish. Loved the paths (well established and the more adventurous ones). Enjoyed the 75 degree days on the canoes on the lake. Made some delicious smores right out back. The foosball table and dart board were a hit. Great family experience!

We had a fabulous time at the ranch! It was the perfect getaway for my husband's birthday. The lake was beautiful! The house was perfect for us and the couples that joined us from out of town. We were all very impressed with the property. The only bad thing was that we weren't able to stay long enough! There was so much offered that we didn't get to take advantage of like the canoes, fishing and nature trails. We look forward to doing it all next time! The campfire area was perfect for sitting and catching up with old friends over s'mores. We've all decided that our kids would love the place so we are already planning to come back with them and stay longer. I highly recommend this property for someone looking for a getaway with your spouse, with your family or as a place to meet up with old friends. This cabin has everything you need! Thanks again for a wonderful time, it was more than we expected and we look forward to returning!

The cabin was spacious and very nice. Loved the seclusion and a property that was large enough to explore. Would like to return and bring our son and grandsons, they would love it. Thanks. Everything was as described but better. Property was well taken care of and would recommend to family and friends. Missed TV.

Owner response:Thank you for the wonderful review. NOTE: We have updated the listing now that we have satellite internet (WIFI) and TV.

So peaceful and comfortable - better than photos - everything you'd ever need and want

We enjoyed a very peaceful two weeks this June at the house. This place is way more than a cabin - it's a spacious home with definite seclusion and beautiful woods, surrounded by wild flowers, huge trees, lots of trails, and the lake. We mountain biked, used the row boat, caught some fish, had peaceful walks. Totally enjoyed the quiet of the area. The house has everything you'd want. So easy to cook and serve in huge kitchen and dining area. Icemaker kept up. Extras available in kitchen were so nice to have. All appliances you would want. The TV/sound system/DVD was great. Used the fuseball table lots. The chairs provided for outdoors were great. BBQ awesome. The bedrooms and bathrooms spacious - master bath with seat in shower & door to outside. The view out windows in master bedrooms, and living areas were expansive and made the place so peaceful and nice. Huge king bed in master bedroom. Awesome open living area. Lots of linens. Even washer & dryer to use. The owner was very nice, the place was clean and ready for us. No problems with rental or deposit return. I recommend the Burger Shack a few minutes away in Peoria to eat and buy bait or ice. Had dinner there twice and it was wonderful! We bought eggs from the neighbor, too, which were great. There was a very nice camping area for tents and campfire we didn't get to use. There was a fun swing back there, too. The squirrels and butterflies and birds were fun to watch. They even got to do some BB gun shooting - at targets, not wildlife. I obsess about vacations and where to stay, and look online on VRBO and rent off the website lots - and this place exceeded my expectations. I totally recommend it. We hope to go again soon and take more of the family and enjoy the other seasons.

Trinity Trails Ranch is Spectacular!

What a fun place. Our family went for a long weekend. We have two children (both 11) and we all had a blast. We enjoyed hiking, skipping rocks on the lake, biking, hiking, making smores in the firepit and listening to the birds all day long. In the cabin, we enjoyed foosball and darts. The cabin is nice and very well furnished with everything you would need. I highly recommend - as you long as you don't take the dates I will want in the future.

Celebrating Tom's 60th birthday here was wonderful. He relaxed, walked, played & enjoyed our 2 daughters & sons-in-law. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us. We hope to be back someday. The food Roseanne fixed was delicious. Thank you for telling us about them. May the Lord bless you richly because we were blessed by being here.

Thank you so much for opening your house to us! It was a real treat to come and spend time with our boys here away from it all. Even though it rained we still had a great time. You guys have truly made a special place. We will be coming back for sure.

Thank you for letting us stay at your cozy, clean and comfortable cabin in the woods. We went on walks saw deer, hummingbirds and there was a family of cardinals in the back yard that we could watch from the dining room table. We'll be back...

The cabin at Trinity Trails is set in an secluded natural environment. You wake up with the bird songs and sleep with the distant howling of coyotes. The cabin is very comfortable and staying at Trinity Trails always leaves us refreshed ready to continue with lives challenges. It has been a joy to stay at the cabin and enjoy God's creation.

A group of 4 of us went up for the 4th of July wkend to this cabin and had a Great time. Loved having the lake right there to kayak and it was so quiet at night. Really pretty area. Had great foosball tournaments -- It was nice to go to this cabin in the woods within easy driving distance to the DFW area. Would highly recommend. Just get away and relax -- this is the place!

A great get-a-way place where you can find peace and quiet. The kids and adults love the campfire, songs, and roasting marshmallows in just a short walk away from the cabin. Walk a little further and you will discover tranquility in a lake nearby. Great place...a home away from home!

I loved staying at this cabin. Plenty of space for everyone, clean facility. close to the lake with an area specifically for campfire under a canopy of trees. Extra space to set up tents for those interested in roughing it! Quiet atmosphere.

What a great getaway. We took the canoe down to the lake with our son, built an evening campfire in the fire pit, played fooseball and even spent some time just relaxing. The place is so peaceful. Can't wait to get to go back.
