We loved this cabin in the woods! We will be back, as long as Sean continues to share it with us. Sean was great to deal with and reimbursed our deposit the day after our departure. We enjoyed some much needed family time and the location of this cabin provided the break we needed. There were 7 of us and it was very comfortable for all of us. We stayed for 3 nights and we all wanted to stay longer. I am thinking a week will do the trick next time. Thanks again Sean for providing a great escape from everyday life.

This was our third trip to the cabin and we're already looking forward to our fourth! Sean is so amazing to work with!!! My grandsons (age 5 and 2) LOVE the foosball table ... especially when most everybody is still asleep! We watched movies, played cards and board games, and just generally hung out and were lazy ... stayed in "comfies" all weekend! Made s'mores over the fire Saturday night ... great fun! Thanks, Sean, for sharing your cabin with us!

The best hideaway Cabin to forget all of work and do nothing but relax! My kids and i had a time of our life there with great picture memories to bring back. 24 acres and a lake to enjoy all to ourselves. Spent a couple of days on the lake and a day of trails and drove out to the nearby lake whitney also. Beautiful scenery in every direction. A must for the outdoor nature lover. With Forth Worth and Dallas nearby, we made the time to head up to Six flags and catch a Texas Rangers game. We fell in love with the Cabin and want to make plans to stay in cooler weather this year. Thanks for the memories!

The ten of us really enjoyed the cabin near Lake Aquilla. The cabin was well stocked, clean and well maintained. It was very hot outside but we had plenty of games to play indoors. The kids loved the loft and the swings. We did canoe a little bit but not too far due to the heat.
The pictures accurately describe the cabin and the owner was very easy to work with and gave great directions.
If you are looking for excitement, we went to Lake Whitney to cliff jump. Not far away at all.
We also had a great Italian meal in Hillsboro on the square at Frenkies.

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.

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!

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.

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!
