More than a place to stay, this is a retreat shaped by family, art, and time.
A peaceful farm retreat for rest, creativity, and re-connection
Nestled among centuries-old live oak trees on 172 acres of working farmland, Scurlock Farms offers a peaceful escape along a mile of San Gabriel River frontage. Here, wide skies, terraced patios, and sweeping views invite you to slow down and reconnect — with nature, with creativity, and with one another.
This is country living at its most thoughtful and welcoming, just minutes from historic Georgetown and within easy reach of Austin, yet a world away from the noise of city life.

A Place Built with History and Heart
Scurlock Farms is rich with history and craftsmanship. The homes were designed to live in harmony with the land and built from river rock hand-collected from the property itself by Bill and Pauline Thweatt. Every wall, column, and fireplace reflects care, precision, and artistry.
Rocky Overlook was the longtime residence of Pauline Thweatt, known professionally as C. P. Montague, a renowned Texas landscape artist and a favorite of President Lyndon B. Johnson. Representations of her artwork appear throughout the homes, offering guests a rare opportunity to stay in a living space shaped by creative legacy.
This is not a replica or a theme — it is the real story, preserved and shared.
Stay on a Living, Working Farm
Scurlock Farms is very much alive. Guests are welcome to experience farm life at their own pace — as hands-on or as relaxed as they wish.
Enjoy complimentary farm tours, meet goats, chickens, and horses, gather eggs, explore gardens, search for fossils and arrowheads, or ride along during hay season and pecan harvest. Wander the riverbanks, hike open acreage, watch birds, or simply sit beneath the oaks and listen to the quiet.
For children, it’s an unforgettable adventure. For adults, it’s a return to simpler rhythms.
Comfort, Space, and Thoughtful Design
Our homes are designed for comfort without pretense — spacious, well-appointed, and ideal for gathering, resting, or creative work. Large windows frame views of the land, while outdoor living spaces invite long conversations, stargazing, and unhurried meals.
Guests often stay for extended visits, working remotely or homeschooling while enjoying the safety, space, and inspiration of rural life. High-speed internet is available throughout the homes and outdoor seating areas, making it easy to balance productivity with peace.
A Boutique Farm Stay — By Design
We offer a boutique farm stay, not boutique in a “fancy” sense, but in the way that truly matters: personal, intentional, and quality-centered.
Scurlock Farms is family-owned and operated. Hosting is not a side project — it is what we do, and we take great pride in every detail of your stay. Many of our guests return year after year, which we consider the highest compliment.
Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway, a creative retreat, a family vacation, or time to reset and breathe, our hope is simple: that you feel welcomed, cared for, and connected while you’re here.
Come Experience Scurlock Farms
Ditch the city life and step into the serenity of the Texas countryside. Explore a living museum, experience a working farm, and enjoy a place where history, nature, and hospitality meet.
We would be honored to welcome you.

We are so happy we chose this beautiful property, Rocky Overlook, for our stay in Georgetown and wish we had known about it all the years we visited family here! Georgetown is our extended family hub so we visit here often and usually stay in a hotel in Round Rock. This time there was a wedding and we needed to be closer so we tried Home Away. This property is absolutely beautiful and private and comfortable and clean. Sheron and Dan are the nicest couple -we felt like we had known them forever. I can’t say enough about the house- has everything you could need, it is very unique and beautiful, the property is so pretty and conducive to all kinds of outdoor activities. It is quiet and private because it’s outside of town, but once we drove there the first time, it was very easy to get to town in minutes! We absolute felt at home from the moment of our arrival. I recommend this property wholeheartedly and without reservation! And quite honestly, we are super picky.
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 grandkids and their Aunt with me and expected we would have a great time. The home (Rocky Overlook) 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 were many special little things that meant so much. Sheron took us on a tour of the property that 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 wee driven to a special location for the river floating and shown exactly where to come out. this place is off the chart perfect. The home had everything 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 rental homes and this one is by far the best. The yard, the location, the home, the service and the family were super friendly. We had to come home Sunday morning for church, but we extended our stay until the last minute. I promise you will have no regrets - it was exceptional! I will definitely make a return visit.
