Explore Nature and Enjoy the Lake! This property is ideal for family and friends to retreat and spend time together in the beauty and quietness of the Texas hill country by Lake Aquilla. The ranch is nestled between the towns of Whitney and Hillsboro on Lake Aquilla, just 60 miles from the Dallas / Fort 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. The custom cabin design is an open plan and includes an outdoor porch with ceiling fans and a spacious screened deck that overlooks the forest with glimpses of the lake ( best views of the lake are Fall and Winter). It's a peaceful place to sit out and star gaze and observe the night sky. The property is adjacent to the Corp of engineers and allows for easy access to the lake. The location is attractive, as it is away from city life, it's that getaway destination most city folk crave. WiFi, is available to keep you connected, you can work from this location. The lower level contains a spacious great room with plenty of outdoor views. We have board games, outdoor games, a ping-pong table, located on the porch. The first-floor bedroom sleeps 2 with a queen-sized bed and is next to the first-floor bathroom. The views from the living space are amazing, you get a panoramic view of the forest and glimpses of the lake, mostly during the Fall and Winter months. The porch has large chairs to lounge and an outdoor table. We have a two-person hammock for that relaxing moment, perfect for night sky views. Lakeview was designed to invite the outdoors inside and our guests outside. Both bedrooms on the second floor are spacious. One bedroom has a king-sized bed and daybed/trundle. The other has a queen-size bed with daybeds/trundle in bedroom and is next to the bathroom. Both rooms have access to the outdoor screened balcony. The bathroom upstairs is designed to accommodate multiple users with its Jack and Jill layout allowing separate and private use of the tub, lavatory, and "the loo". The balcony faces west to Lake Aquilla allowing spectacular views of the setting sun, a perfect place to listen to the wildlife at night. The fuzzball table is located on the screened balcony so it's also a great gathering place. We 0ften get asked if there is a fire pit, the answer is YES. Call it a Texas sized fire-pit if you will. It's the best place for storytelling and marshmallow fixin space. Also asked if the studio/ house next to the cabin is for other renters. No, the studio is an added 4th bedroom space when additional space is needed. If you have a large group or have someone that would prefer their own space, I think it would be a great addition. All hygiene needs will be done in the main house as the studio doesn't have running water. Lots of opportunities for enjoying nature and native wildlife. You will see animal tracks and an occasional arrowhead. You might hear cattle mooing at a distance, they belong to the neighbors and make for a wonderful photo prop. There is a canoe and kayak including life jackets for your use during your Lakeview adventures. The lake has opportunities for boating, fishing, and for hiking. There is also a meditation garden next to Lakeview for those quiet moments. Come sit under the trees and listen to nature's music or the quiet whispers of your soul at rest. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Day bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property - Note from host: Smoking is allowed outside only, dispose of butts ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital - On a lake ### Things to do - Foosball table - Kayak - Table tennis - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,600 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104710000/104700800/104700793/9203fc4c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Newly Renovated 1.5 Acre Lake Front Home with Game Room and Direct Lake Access.

We absolutely love the lake and the availability of two kayaks and a canoe to use. Our kids had a great time playing in the woods and playing with the hammock. We especially appreciated the upstairs patio where we spent most of our time. Catherine, our host, was super considerate and responsive. Even though there are only two bathrooms the upstairs bathroom has a separate area for the toilet and a separate area for the tub so it felt like much more than two bathrooms. I'd recommend this property for anyone looking to get away. Beautiful place. ##### Sally H. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Norma M., McKinney TX (Dallas area) 25 Apr 2018 #### Peaceful getaway We took a weekend to rest with two couples that we travel with. It was much chillier than we had thought it would be for April so we spent a lot of time inside. We found our accommodations very comfortable. We played dominoes, chess, games and read books. Oh, and we all napped. Hillsboro is a very short drive - probably 10-12 minutes - so it was easy to get to a grocery store and restaurants. The outdoor area is really nice and the guys sat around the chiminea one afternoon. ##### Norma M.

Nailed it! Firstly - all the beds were super comfortable! The location was tranquil and we all enjoyed hanging outside playing ping pong, cornhole, and of course music, talking, and laughter by the fire pit. Enjoyed walks with the dogs to the lake - both the short route and the (more sedate) longer route - which was less than 10 minutes. We even took the kayak for a spin. Unanimous vote to return! ##### Simon G. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doug W. 17 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect fit for family gathering. Home was well stocked and had everything needed to prepare meals and be comfortable. The foosball and ping pong table were a hit. Woods are teeming with life and the lake is perfect. We used the canoe and kayaks provided and our whole family really enjoyed the stay and felt at home. It is a short walk from the house to the water so getting the boats there is a bit of a challenge. Me and my teenage sons carried them down no problem and they had wheels to strap to them for easy transport. Just something to be aware of. Big fire ring was perfect and our kids had frog catching contests each night. Catherine and her husband were a delight and I would definitely stay here again. ##### Doug W.
