This cabin is a great little place to relax and enjoy nature. Starting with coffee at the outdoor patio and ending with an evening breeze in the hammock, this place is a gem. Only minutes from town, Georgetown offers so much history and shopping experience. Sheron is a great host and we highly recommend it.

My fiancé, dog and I stayed here for a wedding in Round Rock. We enjoyed the peace at The Palette Pad. Sheron made us blueberry muffins that were so good!! Our dog loved the open space. We all walked down to the river through the pecan orchard and found fossils! So cool! Sheron was communicative, helpful and so sweet. Highly recommend staying here. Thank you again so much for everything!

It was so much fun giving you and Brandon a tour of the farms! I loved the star fish fossil that Brandon found - only the second one found at the farm! There are tons of oyster, clams, ammonite and shrimp-bed fossils, but the star-fish are rarer. Come back to see us anytime you need a little R ‘n R.

The host brought us a dozen banana nut muffins fresh out of the oven for free! They were so good. The cabin is small, quiet and has tons of windows. I felt like we were camping in the woods. We brought our dogs and they enjoyed walking and meeting the cows. (A first for them.) Would love to go back and spend more time hiking down by the river.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Scurlock Farm, The Palette Pad is perfect for one couple. Very comfortable and peaceful. Sheron delivered delicious, hot, homemade blueberry muffins at 9:00 our first morning there. The location is very convenient to Georgetown, but far enough away to be quiet and very relaxed. An easy walk down to San Gabriel River if you want to fish or explore. Highly recommend.

Pleasant, relaxing home away from home

Really enjoyed our stay! Beautiful property to walk and hike, loved seeing all the fossils on our hike. The pad is quaint, and filled with the history of the artist it was built for. Great location close to town but far enough to enjoy the country.

Hi Angela, I am so glad you enjoyed your stay with us at Scurlock Farms in The Palette Pad. The fossils are a big hit for all ages. It is fun to go down after even a minor flood - more rocks have been tumbled and have exposed new fossils! You are welcome to visit us anytime!
