Peaceful Farm Cabin for Couples | TX Hill Country

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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a water park or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

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.

Lovely place to stay!

We were impressed with the hospitality of the owners! They took us out on a tour of their farm and baked muffins for us for when we arrived. The Palette Pad where we stayed was a cozy little place to stay that was an art studio for the owners mother. We loved the scenery around us, the open spaces, the wildlife! It was a wonderful experience to relax and enjoy the area that we stayed!
