Linda, I enjoyed hosting you and Dan, and I hope you found some peaceful downtime while you were here for the birth and surgery of your grandson. You are welcome to stay with us anytime you want to visit them.
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?
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!

I enjoyed showing your family the baby goats. I would love if you post a photo on Facebook at Scurlock Farms Vacation Rentals! Scurlock Farms is really ideally located for those wanting to get into Austin or attend events, as you did a wedding. Hope your baby had and easy trip back to Arizona. We enjoyed the bar-b-q you left in the refrigerator. Did you get it at one of the food trailers on Raney Street in Austin? It was really good! There is so much to do in the area, and often, not enough time to get it all in. You'll have to come back when Carter is a little older!

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.

It was fun meeting your family and giving you a tour of the farm. I was really glad we all got to see our fainting goat, Strawberry, "faint" right in front of us! Tell your two girls we had 3 sets of twins born this morning, and a single baby born 4 days ago.
I know you had fun fishing with your guide and one of the girls was the winner with 28 fish caught in the San Gabriel River - way to go!
We would love to host your family again and maybe next time you could tube the San Gabriel along Scurlock Farms. The water is perfect now. A multi-generational family spent the week last week in all three homes on the farm, and said this was the best tubing they had ever done (they have tubed many rivers in Texas)!

We enjoyed having you as you extended your girl's get-together weekend! Come again when you have more time. The farm is a great place to relax and unwind after shopping and sight-seeing, or a destination place to hike about, relax on the patios, and cook out and enjoy the fire pit.

I am so glad your family enjoyed their stay at Scurlock Farms! Tell Isaac I especially loved his comments in the guest book. Let him know the small gray fish were minnows. Look forward to having you visit 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 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!

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!

I am so glad Rocky Overlook worked for your multiple birthday celebrations with the different generations! Hopefully your granddaughters will be able to visit the baby goats next time! We would love to have you come again.
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!

It was a pleasure meeting you and your family. I am so glad you enjoyed the muffins. It is funny - they have kind of taken on a life of their own, and guests do seem to enjoy them. I guess I should figure out how many dozen eggs, pounds of butter, flour and sugar I have used over the years!! Come back to see us.

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.

It 3was fun giving you and your daughter a tour of the farm and see her enjoy all of the wild blackberries you picked for her down at the river!! Come back any time.
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 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

I am glad Rocky Overlook provided the relaxing atmosphere you needed for your trip. Oh, I wish you had called me - the light switch for the back patio lights is by the smaller sliding door going out to the patio. Once turned on, they are motion activated. If you return to Georgetown again, we would love to have you stay with us again!
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!

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

About the host
Hosted by Sheron Scurlock, Owner
My husband Dan and I are childhood sweethearts from Rockdale, Texas, and Baylor University graduates. I love creating welcoming spaces for our guests and am very hands-on with decorating, gardening, and caring for the homes.
Scurlock Farms is a true family affair. Our sons and extended family contribute to the farm’s beauty and creativity, from gardening to handmade ceramics. We enjoy meeting guests during tours, tractor rides, or simply crossing paths on the property, while always respecting privacy.
Hosting has been one of the most rewarding chapters of our lives, and we take great care in every detail of your stay. We would be honored to host you and share this special place with you.
Why they chose this property
Rocky Overlook was chosen for its quiet, secluded setting beneath heritage live oaks. It’s a peaceful retreat where couples reconnect, writers find inspiration, and families slow down together. The privacy, natural beauty, and timeless calm make it a favorite for returning guests.
What makes this property unique
Rocky Overlook is a rare Texas Hill Country farm stay offering history, privacy, and natural beauty on a working family farm. The home was thoughtfully designed around centuries-old live oak trees and handcrafted from river rock gathered directly from the San Gabriel River, giving it a timeless, organic feel you won’t find in modern builds.
This historic home was once the residence and studio of Texas landscape artist C. P. Montague, and her artistic legacy remains throughout the property. Guests will find framed prints of her artwork, original architectural details, and a sense of place that reflects both creativity and craftsmanship.
Perched on a quiet bluff with scenic views of the river bottom, Rocky Overlook offers a private retreat ideal for romantic getaways, writers and creatives, and families seeking space to slow down and reconnect. The peaceful setting, heritage trees, and open skies create a calm, inspiring atmosphere that many guests return to year after year.
Combining Hill Country charm, riverfront surroundings, and meaningful history, Rocky Overlook is more than a vacation rental—it’s a one-of-a-kind stay rooted in land, art, and family care.
