Georgetown Square Minutes From Riverside, Countryside Farm Home, Family & Pets

Experience the evolution of vacation travel - stress-free countryside living at this one-of-a-kind Texas Hill Country home. Situated among centuries-old live oaks on a mile of San Gabriel River frontage, 172 acres of working farmland, and full of history. This Georgetown farm is sure to captivate the whole group with its stunning views, terraced patios and original charm.

Throughout this thoughtfully designed home, you'll marvel at unique touches that speak to its special appeal. From the hand-laid stone pulled from the river, to the pond with fountain. You'll even find framed reproductions of art painted by previous owner and artist C.P. Montague (who happened to be one of President Lyndon B. Johnson's favorites) decorating the walls.

The open living area offers plenty of air conditioned space to catch up with friends, while the gourmet kitchen provides all you need to prep family-style meals, including a dishwasher for easy clean-up. Curl up with a book by the wood-burning fireplace (wood provided), host family movie night on the 62" flat screen Smart TV and DVD player, or stream your favorite show through free Wi-Fi on your devices. For those of you needing to work from while visiting, the Internet tower is in the top pasture, so you will have hi-speed Internet!

Two luxurious king suites come complete with light-filled sitting rooms and beautiful linens, while a queen sleeper sofa with an additional 4" mattress topper in the living alcove, or a 22" queen self-inflatable mattress with comfy bedding creates room for up to 6 travelers. If you brought the little one, a Pack-n-play and strap-in booster chair with tray, and a small canvas stroller are available too.

There are two baths; one with a walk-in shower, the other with a square soaking tub. A front-load washer and dryer helps keep packing light.and addition

An entertainer's paradise lies just outside! Relax with a glass of wine on multi-level terraced patios while listening to the song birds, or the fountain in the pond below. Fire up the charcoal grill and dine alfresco with the whole group. At dusk, a fire pit awaits for story swapping, S'mores making, and stargazing.

Just 10 minutes down the road is historic Georgetown, with "The Most Beautiful Town Square in Texas", with museums, wonderful farm-to-table restaurants and live music. Wolf Ranch in Georgetown is a destination shoppers delight; shopping at IKEA and the outlet mall is just 20 minutes away; and you'll be in the heart of Austin in 30 minutes.

Or stay close to home and find great fishing and tubing in the San Gabriel River, along with 172 acres for hiking and birding. Be sure to check out our free farm tour where the whole family can learn about local fossils, plants, search for arrowheads, engage with the animals, or take tractor rides. Don't forget your pets! Open acres of leash-free space are a dog's dream come true.

Ditch the city life for the serenity of the Texas Hill Country countryside and come see what it's like to live on a working farm and explore a living museum!

Beautiful Property & Fantastic Host
Beautiful property set back away from the city. Close enough to enjoy what Austin and the surrounding areas offer, but far enough away that is peaceful and quite. Very comfortable & cozy home that has everything you need. We were greeted by several deer in or around the yard every morning when we woke and the evenings when we returned. Property has a lot to offer if you just want to stay for the day and relax. Host is amazing and when the previous reviews say that her offering of fresh baked from scratch and served warm muffins are fantastic, they aren't kidding. They were AWESOME. Great host. Great property. We hope to return again soon!

unique property, lovely hospitality
A working farm with a spring creek and a short hike to a lovely river. The owner, Sheron, was a delightful hostess giving us tours of the (extensive!) property, bringing us fresh-from-her-oven muffins, etc.

Loved Scurlock Farms
We had a wonderful week at Scurlock Farms. Sheron is the greatest hostess, from the tour, to the muffins, and the great accommodations, it exceeded all of our expectations. We loved the daily hikes down to the river and the bird-watching. Highly recommend staying here.

Family Reunion in the Hill Country
Rocky Overlook provided a wonderful setting for our family reunion in the Hill Country. The house was beautifully decorated and the beds were very comfortable. Sheron was a pleasure to work with to arrange our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. I would highly recommend this property.

peaceful retreat with beautiful view
My family (six of us) enjoyed our stay at Rocky Overlook. It is a beautiful home with an interesting story, just the kind of place my family loves to find. It is not far from the busy I 35 corridor, so it is easy to access Georgetown, Round Rock and Austin, yet it is in a peaceful location away from the crowd. It is spacious and clean, and the owners are so hospitable. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Family Gathering Place
We had a great family gathering ranging in age from 88 to 1 years! It worked well for all ages, plenty of room and lots of opportunities for activities. Property owners provided gracious welcome and hospitality. The history and beautiful artwork added to the overall beautiful setting. We look forward to returning!

We fell in love with Rocky Overlook the moment we drove onto the property. As my son and I said we found our "zen" staying here. Just what the three of us needed. Sheron and family are the best host!

so quiet and peaceful!
Very serene location-just a quick 10 minute drive to Southwestern University. Love the history of the home! The owner made us delicious homemade muffins with their fresh eggs upon our arrival- my son said they were the best he'd ever had! Nice and clean and comfortable. I highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!

Great place to stay and play.
My family and I stayed at the overlook property for 4nights. It was a great place. The layout of the house is unique and the one shower took some planning to ensure we all showers, but over all the stay was great. Sharon’s tour and muffins made us feel very welcome. The “free reign” of the property was the highlight for us. We went to the river and spent the day.

Best stay in Texas
We absolutely loved staying here. Original plans were several family members (6of us total) but our trip fell apart so it was only my boyfriend and I, and I’m so glad we still decided to go (it was past the point of a refund so we figured might as well have a vacation anyway!). So much space, even with 6 of us it would have been very comfortable. Quiet rural area but so close to town so we could drive into Georgetown easily for dinners, etc. Loved the full kitchen as we were also able to cook meals! Very handy since stayed a whole week. The property grounds are great, we loved the various sitting areas out back and there is a trail through the trees that leads to the pecan orchard, go through that and you get to the river which was also fun to walk along. Sheron was a wonderful host, we loved the homemade muffins, and had the pleasure of getting a property tour from her as well where we got meet some of the farm animals. She was super accommodating when we had to change our original reservation too. The place really felt like home while we were there, and we’d definitely stay again!

This place was perfect!
My expectations were exceeded. The delivery of freshly made muffins, a hayride, feeding goats and chickens. Being able to pick vine-ripened tomatoes and having a fully stocked kitchen. Topping it off with breathtaking sunsets. There were so many unexpended pleasantries, we can’t wait to go back.

The property was exactly what we needed for our trip. Secluded and relaxing. Sharon couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating, thank you. The only thing I would have liked would have been working lights on the back patio

Georgetown Get Away
The property is very scenic and relaxing. Access to the river was easy and rewarding even though the water level was low due to the drought. The house is very well kept and well stocked. We enjoyed the wild bird variety and the deer. Sheron Scurlock took us on a tour of the property and gave some history which made us love it even more. Access to Georgetown and Round Rock was easy and fun. We would stay there again.

Great Getaway Near Austin but "Worlds Apart"
We had the privilege of staying here for our daughter's graduation from Southwestern in Georgetown.We entertained a large group & there was space for all. Beautiful retreat with amazing patio complete with waterfall & firepit....large kitchen, well-equipped. Short walk to the river~ Sheron's home-made muffins are to die for...secret...ask for the almond poppyseed! We hope to have the opportunity for a re-visit soon!

Wonderful! We loved the house, each room was so unique and comfortable.
The entire family loved the river, cows, and just hanging out on the back patio. The patio for the month of June and July was so nice with a constant breeze. It’s hard pleasing four teenagers but they all loved it here. We were made to feel welcomed upon arriving and never had a need for anything, thanks to our host hospitality!

Farmcation
We had a great experience at Scurlock Farms. Sheron and her family were so welcoming and were the best host. My kids enjoyed interacting with all the animals and exploring the property. Unfortunately, due to the drought, we were not able to enjoy the river on the property but hoping to go back soon when the river is flowing once again. I would definitely recommend vacationing with the Scurlocks!!!
