Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 2004

We live an hour away between Jonestown and Cedar Park across from what used to be Lake Travis. The water there has receded, so there has been no water for over two years now. I lived in the area as a child, but my spouse is a transplant from the beautiful Lake Michigan area. I guess you'd call us lake people. We have seven grandchildren, but only two are local. The others are in Raleigh, NC. We also have a pair of small Shih Tzu dogs that love the lake area as much as we do. We had six puppies May '09 (lots 'o fun!). My spouse works a 12-hr night shift in SE Austin, so has 3-4 days off per week. Plenty of time to enjoy our Lake LBJ home.

Why the Owner Chose Granite Shoals

We previously had a smaller rental on Lake Travis, but sold it, and now there has been no water in front of that location for two years or more. Lake LBJ is a constant-level lake, so boating is never hampered by low water. The area is a quiet, congenial, slow-paced kind of place where folks wave as they drive by even if they don't know you.

The Unique Benefits of this House

There is a lot of wildlife wandering around - watch out for prized plants, a favorite of the local deer population. We had a very small fawn take up residence in the shady plants of our tree round in front of the house. We named this place for the two peacocks who liked to wander our property. Butterflies, song birds, and millions of stars on quiet nights all add up to a magical wonderful place to rest and relax.

    • We stayed at the peacock house last weekend, and had a lovely time. The house had plenty of space for everyone and the view was great. Thank you so much for sharing your home!

    • We spent 4th of July at the Peacock House with our children and grandchildren. The owners thought of everything. There were plenty of games, movies, etc. for the kids during evening hours when they can't be in the water. We had 6 adults and 4 kids and the Peacock House well accomodated our crowd. Very open and spacious. Two huge decks with lawnchairs, tables with umbrellas, even a lawncouch. At night we sat out under the stars on the deck over the boathouse. On our first night there before the kids and grandkids got there, me and my husband had the whole house to ourselves and when we drove up in the driveway there were deer and peacocks standing in the yard and driveway. We loved the Peacock House and recommend it to anyone who has a place you want to go and build some family memories. You will love the Peacock House. We did.

    • We spent our Thanksgiving holiday at the Peacock House and had a wonderful time! With 4 bedrooms and two living areas, the house is very spacious and comfortable. The wall of windows in the upstairs gives a great view and there are two dining tables that easily seat 14. Very comfortable beds, quality linens and towels. The home is very well stocked. You will find everything from china dishes to games and movies. Outside, the decks are large and have plenty of seating. We all enjoyed the two peacocks that roam around the yard! Besides a being a great house, the owners are very friendly and helpful. If looking for a lake house, I would strongly recommend you consider this one.

    • We just spent Labor Day weekend at the Peacock House with a party of 10 adults and had a fabulous time. The house is beautifully appointed with upscale furniture and fully stocked with everything from pots & pans to bar glasses. No detail was overlooked! We loved the decks and found that there was always enough comfortable outdoor seating even for a big group like ours. We also enjoyed watching the peacocks every morning. We couldn't have wished for a better lake house to spend our holiday. The owners were always readily available and always more than happy to answer our questions and offer help. We will definately recommend the Peacock House to all of our friends and family!

    • This was our 3rd summer to go to LBJ. This was the best trip yet. We loved the ability to play both inside and out. The decks provided great outdoor room for activities and the two floors provided privacy when needed. Furnishings were very comfortable and there was never a fight over a bed...there were plenty! The kitchen lay out helped when there were multiple "chefs." We cooked the largest portion of our meals out on the grill and it was GREAT!!

    • It was Wonderful. We had a party of 8 adults and 3 kids and we had plenty of room. The decks outside were great and being in a cove it was very private. The only negative was the bathroom door upstairs was hard to close! We will return!

    • This was one of the best rentals that I have ever had. The house was great. Everything was very clean and very well thought out. All you have to bring is Food, Clothing and Toys. I will definitly stay here again. I have already told my Brother and my Sister-in-law and they are going to book a trip.
