About Linda Peterson

We live an hour away between Jonestown and Cedar Park across from Lake Travis. 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.

Linda Peterson purchased this house in 2004
Why Linda Peterson chose Granite Shoals

We previously had a smaller rental on Lake Travis, but sold it because water levels had fluctuated so much. Lake LBJ is referred to 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.

What makes this house unique

There is a lot of wildlife wandering around - prized plants are 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. There are four now. Butterflies, song birds, and millions of stars on quiet nights all add up to a wonderful place to rest and relax.

Lots of Room

  • Submitted: May 21, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2013
If you have a large get-together planned, this is the place for you! It was just my husband and I staying there for a week, as we chose the home for the use of the boat. Unfortunately, the boat was not working. We were able to rent a pontoon from Splash Rentals at a very reasonable price and kept the boat at Linda and Mark's dock.
This home is decorated very tastefully with fine furniture and all kinds of extras that you may need.
I am all about how the water pressure is and the bed sleeps, when we stay anywhere. The master bath shower head was AWESOME!! Water was hot and pressure excellent! The sheets and towels were high quality and not "itchy". So soft and high thread count. The mattress in the MB was so comfortable..you sleep like a baby! The residence was as nice or nicer, than some Hiltons and Marriotts, we have stayed in. Linda and Mark are very accommodating and eager to assist. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. Lots of things to do. Excellent flat screen TV's, games, and we were so grateful to be able to take our dogs. You have to pick this for your next vacation at Granite Shoals!

Family gathering

The listing description and photos were very helpful in my decision to choose the Peacock House for our family Christmas gathering this year. The owner was very cordial and helpful in answering my questions and concerns. The house and grounds were well kept. We had a wonderful weekend, and enjoyed the outdoor spaces as the weather was great. Would recommend this property to a friend or relative. We really didn't take advantage of any of the nearby activities or attractions.

Relaxing Thanksgiving weekend

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Dec 5, 2012
  • Stayed: Nov 2012
We stayed at the Peacock house 5 nights during Thanksgiving week and totally enjoyed it! The house was larger than expected and the pictures of the kitchen online do not do the size of the room justice. It was a large room with lots of counter space! There was plenty of sitting for meals and games. Beds were plentiful and comfy and the owners made sure we had everything we needed for our Thanksgiving meal. I love how well stocked the kitchen was! My kids really enjoyed the foosball table and all the game options. I really enjoyed how relaxing and roomy the house was. I wish the weather would have been cooler so that we could have enjoyed the large wood burning fire place. The peacocks came everyday (I think I counted 7) and several times, deer would also visit us.

Having the option to rent the boat was a huge plus and the use of the free kayaks was really cool.

I was also very grateful that the owners allowed us to bring our two dogs. The dogs were most curious about the peacocks.

My family and I had a wonderful time there and hope to return over the summer.

We recently rented the Peacock House to celebrate a 50th and 60th birthday. Over the course of 10 days we had 15 women coming and going and the house was perfect for our large group. Linda and Mark were available for any questions or problems and handled everything promptly. The house had everything we needed and I would recommend this property for large groups.
