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!

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!

Peaceful + Restful + Comfortably Wonderful!
The quaint-Texas elegant farm house with its comfortable furnishings and historical artwork was perfect and priced right. The private treed site and fire-pit rock and forest back yard more than offset the older style of the house. What topped it all was the walk through the orchard to the stunning private riverside setting where we spent hours in seclusion and beauty. The host delivered warm muffins and even had plenty of coffee and other necessaries all in position. We will be coming back.

This is our third stay and it's becoming our "home away from home" when we visit our Texas family. It's comfortable, has a farm animals and wildlife nearby, the river is a wonderful place to visit and the hosts are extremely kind and accommodating. We love it there!

You cannot beat this property!! We have stayed many places and we just love the landscape of Scurlock Farms! This was our second visit and we were not disappointed. This is a great family vacation spot. Chilling by the river was lots of fun, and our daughter loved it. Sheron was so helpful as always, and made the best muffins for us! We got a flat and one of her sons came to help us right away. You can’t go wrong with Scurlock Farms.

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!!!

Paradise In Georgetown
The ease of checking in was flawless. The house was well designed with wonderful furniture and kitchen accessories. The original artwork added to the charm of the property along with the thousands of river rock used to construct the home. The river was down but our grandchildren used the riverbed to find fossils The ownber's sons took our grandchildren to feed the goats and chickens as well as to drive the tractor. The family that owns the property could not have been nicer. And let's not forget the homemade banana muffins that were waiting for us when we arrived. If you want a totally wonderful vacation stay come stay at Scurlock Farms.

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.

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 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 patio was our favorite spot! Every morning and every evening. The breeze was so awesome even in July it was comfortable. Lots of local entertainment, and dances to entertain the teenagers. The most beautiful spot on the river is on this property.

Remote getaway
We loved our stay at Rocky Overlook. The property was exactly as described and pictured. The TV was new with availability to log into Netflix and such. It also had free streaming TV. Internet speed was very good. The Host is amazing, she bakes delicious muffins. The property is large, we saw fossils by their riverfront, fed goats, horses, and chickens - our 4 year old loved it. We cooked most of our meals in the house, the kitchen is well equipped.

Great Vacation on the Farm
Sheron and her family have one of the greatest vacation homes we have ever stayed in, they go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable . The farm is absolutely beautiful , as is the house. We were just amazed with the beautiful paintings throughout the house that were done by Sheron and her mother . This home is in a great location, close to Georgetown, not to far from the outlets , and close enough to visit Austin, San Antonio, or the Magnolia Market in Waco for a day trip, you can visit the city and still come back and enjoy the beautiful hill country of Texas . We definitely want to come back and visit again. The river is close by the home to enjoy, I enjoyed just sitting on the patio taking in all of the beautiful farm. If anyone is gonna stay in this area I definitely would recommend Scurlock Farms for your stay, they are the best. J.R. Shotwell and family

Just like home!
This was our family's 2nd stay with Sheron and it reaffirmed why we went back. Staying with Sheron is like going home to visit your family. Not only does she provide an awesome home to stay in, she and her family make everyone feel right at home. I actually think our grandkids enjoyed hanging out with Sheron more than the extended family we went to Texas to visit! No joke! We'll be back to visit Sheron again next year. Don't miss this place. It's practically perfect.

We Extended Our Stay - Total Relaxation, Great Surroundings, We Felt Like Loved Ones
The greatest experience, made trip a perfect get-a-way, it is hard to express special, relaxed, calm and tranquil in a few words about our stay. I had two of my grand kids and their Aunt with me and expected we would have a great time and the home was beautiful on the computer. I did not expect the amazing service we were given, from the time we opened the front door and found the homemade chocolate chip muffins we felt at home! The family that owns the property truly went out of their way for each of us, it is out of this world amazing. There was many special little things that meant so much. Sheron took us on a tour on the property we all enjoyed. My grandkids were allowed to gather fresh eggs from the chicken coop, they were taken on a tractor ride by Dan. We were driven to a special location for river floating and shown exactly where to come out. This place is off the chart perfect. The home had every thing we needed, with two kids we went through some towels and there were still plenty, very well stocked down to a water bowl for my fur baby. I have stayed in many rented homes and this one is by far the best. The yard, the location, the home, the service and the family super friendly. We had to be home Sunday morning for church, but we extended out stay until the last minute. I promise you will have no regrets it was exceptional! I will definitely make a return to visit.
