Just minutes from Georgetown yet worlds away, Scurlock Farms offers a one-of-a-kind stay shaped by nature, creativity, and family hospitality.

The farmhouse was a perfect get away! The esthetic of the home was cozy and inviting. You could feel the live in the home and after speaking with Sheron and knowing the story behind the home it made complete silence. Waking up to rolling hills and cows grazing in the pasture next to the house was a welcomed sight. Enjoying the homemade muffins and a cup of coffee on the back porch in the morning was peaceful and serene. My only regret was that we didnt get to stay longer. We will certainly keep this rental in mind for future trips to Georgetown. Close enough to town to hop on over for breakfast but far enough out to feel secluded. Best of both worlds. Thanks Sheron for being such a great host!

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.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Mar 2020
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.

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 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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Sheron Scurlock, Owner

Host profile image
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.
