Just minutes from Georgetown yet worlds away, Scurlock Farms offers a one-of-a-kind stay shaped by nature, creativity, and family hospitality.

If you’re looking for a tranquil vacation this is the place. Perfect gracious and generous hosts. Will definitely be back. Delicious muffins friendly cows and a beautiful river what more could you ask for?
Note: I actually believed I posted this eight months ago but I guess because there was a glitch it didn't go through.I stayed here with my husband and kids and we had the best time! Not only was the rental clean, comfortable, and well maintained but the location was just gorgeous. We got a lovely tour of the property and saw the most gorgeous view of the cliffside and river. Our kids loved relaxing on the hammock outside and meeting and feeding the cows and.goats. We had a blast and hope to stay again! Highly recommended
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!
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!
Our kids loved "the farmhouse" so much we visited for a second time after a year. We played in the river, and Ms Sharon even provided us some tubes! On top of that, she dropped off some delicious muffins as well. It's the perfect family Farmcation!
Beautiful, Comfortable and Relaxing Historical Home
This property is comfortable and in a beautiful setting. It is quite conducive to a family gathering while also offering a quiet, relaxing retreat atmosphere. If given the opportunity, we would stay here again.

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.

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.

Beautifully Serene
We had Such a nice relaxing time! I truly appreciated all that Sheron did! To make our stay special! The muffins and fruit was great!
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.
This was our second stay at the property. The friendly, hospitable property manager was very welcoming, answered all our questions and more than met every need. We look forward to returning!

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!
Had an amazin time fishin an swimin an rock huntin an exploring the river. Built a fire at dark an made smores an looked at the stars..only bad thing was the 200ish vrbo fee

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.
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.

True country living
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
Was a terrific place to have thanksgiving. IN the country and very peaceful. House was large and perfect for a few days of R&R. Husband caught 50 fish in the river, a short walk from house. The guest bed needs replacing--- but that's it!!! Will stay again!
