Private Indoor Pickleball Lodge - Sleeps 14, Gym, Firepit & Playground

Welcome to The Lodge at the Pines, a rustic family and group getaway tucked among towering pines in Trinity, Texas. Sitting on peaceful acreage just minutes from Trinity and Lovelady, this one-of-a-kind property blends classic lodge charm with modern, private recreation facilities you won’t find anywhere else.

The highlight of the property is the private, climate-controlled indoor gym, reserved exclusively for your group. Inside, you’ll find two indoor pickleball courts, a half-court basketball setup, comfortable seating, and additional games for spectators and downtime. Heated and air-conditioned, the gym makes this a true year-round destination, rain or shine.

The lodge itself comfortably sleeps up to 14 guests, featuring a thoughtful mix of king and queen beds for adults and twin beds ideal for kids or group stays. Warm wood interiors, vaulted ceilings, and cozy gathering spaces create a welcoming atmosphere that feels both relaxed and timeless.

The kitchen is compact and functional, with limited prep space and no dishwasher or garbage disposal. Many guests prefer using the BBQ pit, which works great for feeding groups and enjoying meals outdoors.

Outside, children will love the playground, while adults unwind around the firepit with surrounding chairs, enjoying the quiet of the pines. Guests can take in views of a nearby pond, open pasture, and even friendly chickens, a true East Texas experience. While the lodge sits on a private two-acre area, the surrounding landscape provides a wide-open, peaceful setting.

Often affectionately referred to by guests as “Camp David,” The Lodge at the Pines is ideal for:

Family reunions

Group getaways

Church or retreat weekends

Multi-family trips

Active stays centered around pickleball & basketball

If you’re looking for a place where everyone can stay together, stay active, and truly unplug, The Lodge at the Pines delivers an experience, not just a stay.
