What Is Accidental Damage Insurance?
An accidental damage insurance policy that will cover any accidental damages up to $1500 has been purchased for all guests.
No damage is too small to report – a plate may be chipped in the dishwasher, a wine glass dropped, etc If anything is broken or damaged, please take a photo of it with your phone and email it to Sheron@scurlockfarms.com with a brief description of how the item was damaged, ie “I dropped the dish” or “the plate was chipped in the dishwasher”, etc. that is all you need to do – I handle everything from that point on.

Can I Bring My Dog Or Cat To The Property I’ve Rented?
The homes on Scurlock Farms are dog friendly. The dogs must be totally non-aggressive to other people and dogs. They are not required to be on a leash. We have found the pets enjoy romping about the farm and the river ad much as their families do! There is a one-time pet fee of $60 for up to 3 pets. Please call 512-639-4433 if you are unsure how to add the pet fee to your quote.
Sorry, but due to severe allergies to cats by family members, no cats are allowed at the homes.

Will My Property Have Daily Housekeeping?
Unlike a hotel, vacation rentals do not have daily housekeeping. This is due to the size of the homes (much larger than a typical 250 square foot hotel room), and the time required to clean. While a hotel room takes 15 minutes to clean, while Rocky Overlook takes four to five hours to clean.
For guests staying longer than two weeks, the homes will be professionally cleaned every two weeks.

I Am Concerned That Weather Will Negatively Impact My Trip – Do You Offer Refunds, Vouchers, Or Credits In The Event Of Inclement Weather Or Snow?
Scurlock Farms does not offer weather refunds, vouchers, or credits of any type. If you are concerned about weather on your end or where you will be traveling, we do recommend that travelers purchase travel insurance (see above), which does have weather protection.
Note: February, 2020 the weather was predicted to be extremely cold with heavy snow, which is very unusual for our part of Texas. We did have 9″ of snow at the farm, and record breaking extended cold temperatures. I called guests that had upcoming reservations that weekend and cancelled them. The homes were without electric9ity for 5 days and without water for 3 days. They were able to re-book at a later date.

The cancellation policy, which is in the rental agreement you agreed to when you booked, is as follows:
GREATER THAN 60 DAYS:
Should you need to cancel your reservation with more than 30 days notice prior to the arrival date, 50% of the amount paid will be refunded, minus the credit card fees charged for the refund.

Should you need to cancel your reservation with less than 30 days notice prior to the date of your arrival, you will forfeit all funds paid to date, unless we can rent the home for the same time period to another guest. Then, full amount less $50 would be refunded. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance that will cover your entire trip in the event of unplanned circumstances.
