About this cabin rental
A Boutique, Pet-Friendly Farm Stay in the Texas Hill Country
The Palette Pad is a boutique, pet-friendly farm stay at Scurlock Farms, thoughtfully created for couples, creatives, and guests seeking a quiet, restorative escape in the Texas Hill Country near Georgetown. Family-owned and owner-hosted, we specialize in meaningful stays — not mass tourism — and take great pride in welcoming guests who value privacy, beauty, and connection to place.
An Artist’s Cottage with History
Originally built as the art studio and temporary home of artist Pauline Thweatt, The Palette Pad carries a rich creative legacy. Pauline and her husband, Bill Thweatt, hand-gathered and laid every stone inside and out while building their family home just across the ravine.
Beneath the north-facing wall of windows, hundreds of paintings were created under Pauline’s artist name, C. P. Montague, one of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s favorite artists. Today, that same light and quiet continue to inspire rest, creativity, and reflection.
Comfortable, Fully Equipped, and Easy to Settle Into
This one-bedroom cottage is fully furnished and designed for comfort. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware, serving dishes, basic spices, coffee, and an assortment of hot teas. We provide soaps, shampoo, a hair dryer, paper goods, and thoughtful essentials so you can arrive, unpack, and relax.
Guests especially enjoy the wood-burning fireplace and outdoor fire pit. A generous supply of firewood is included, with additional wood available for purchase.
Traveling with an Infant or Toddler
Families visiting with young children are welcome. A step stool, booster dining seat, stroller, and Pack-N-Play are available upon request.
Stay Connected — or Fully Unplug
The Palette Pad offers free high-speed wireless internet, an HD Smart TV, a CD player with a curated selection of music, along with games, puzzles, and books for quiet evenings.
Pet-Friendly by Design
Well-behaved, non-aggressive dogs are welcome at this pet-friendly Hill Country cottage. Furniture covers and towels are provided for paws after outdoor adventures or a swim in the river. Due to severe allergies, we are unable to accommodate cats.
Outdoor Living at Scurlock Farms
Guests love dining beneath heritage live oaks, grilling outdoors, watching sunsets from the bluff, reading in the hammock, or enjoying a glass of wine by the fire pit. Charcoal and grilling supplies should be brought by guests.
On-Site Hosts, Thoughtfully Available
Dan and I, along with our family, live on the farm and are nearby should you need assistance, recommendations, or local insight. We respect your privacy while remaining easily accessible throughout your stay.
The Palette Pad is more than a place to stay — it’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and feel quietly at home.

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!

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.

It was a cute house, and a good place to sleep, but i wanted the extras that were talked about in the posting like the homemade muffins and getting walked around the farm. We didnt see anyone else there and there werent any animals besides a few cows we saw as we were leaving.
