The Old Dairy – A Historic Brenham Getaway

Experience the charm of Brenham, Texas, at The Old Dairy, a lovingly restored piece of local history. Once part of one of Brenham’s original dairies, this cozy two-bedroom home has been reimagined for comfort while preserving its rural character. Surrounded by gardens, roses, and open skies, The Old Dairy offers guests a true taste of Texas hospitality—peaceful, welcoming, and unforgettable.

Inside the Home

Living Room
Relax in comfort with two leather recliners, a 72-inch Roku TV, and an electric fireplace that creates the perfect atmosphere for unwinding after a day of exploring.

Dining Area
Enjoy meals beneath an antique chandelier at a rustic table that connects seamlessly to the living room, allowing everyone to gather together. The décor honors the home’s dairy heritage while incorporating touches of Brenham’s and Round Top’s antique charm.

Bedrooms

Primary Bedroom: Queen bed, farmhouse chandelier, shiplap walls, and large windows overlooking the backyard. Includes a sleeper sofa for additional guests.

Second Bedroom: Two twin beds and plenty of natural light for a peaceful rest. Extra mattresses are stored in the closet for flexible sleeping arrangements.
Together, the home comfortably sleeps seven, with the seven-foot living-room couch serving as an optional eighth bed.

Kitchen
The kitchen is bright, functional, and fully equipped with a microwave, oven, full-size refrigerator, sink, and coffee bar. Guests are provided bottled water for the Keurig and refrigerator, as the home still draws water from the original well.

Bathroom
The updated bathroom features clean white tile, a full tub, and shower. Complimentary toiletries and fresh towels are provided for a hotel-style stay.

Outdoor Spaces

Garden & Backyard
Roses bloom along the fence line, and a chandelier hangs above the picnic table—perfect for romantic dinners, charcuterie, or morning coffee in the open air. Fire rings, yard games, and glowing string lights make the backyard a favorite evening gathering spot.

Outdoor Tubs
Two private claw-foot soaking tubs with on-demand hot water allow guests to relax under the Texas sky. The tubs are positioned for sunset views, with a nearby fire pit for warmth and conversation.

Seasonal Pool
Available during the summer months, the outdoor pool offers a refreshing way to cool off and enjoy Brenham’s sunny days.

Farm-Fresh Charm
Our friendly hens often provide farm-fresh eggs for guests, adding an authentic touch of country life to your stay.

Kayaks
Three kayaks are available for guest use (use at your own risk). Take them for a paddle at nearby Lake Somerville or Hidalgo Falls on the Brazos River.

Very comfortable and homey

We felt very at home at The Old Dairy. It had everything we needed, the beds were super comfortable, and the location is a little bit like being in the country but still super close to everything. I only wish we had had more time to just hang out on the property!

It was great!

Very clean and comfortable. So relaxing to sit on the back porch in the rocking chairs. The beds and bedding were luxurious. Centrally located being close to the town square as well as grocery stores. We loved it.

Antiques stay

Awesome place for us. Clover and Rachel are awesome hosts. Their daughter Pepper even delivered farm fresh eggs from there on the property! Perhaps the cleanest VRBO we’ve rented. If you like old renovated places, this is your kinda deal. We’re already country folks, so this was a no brainer for us.

Relaxing weekend with friends

My high school friends and I found this little gem while trying to choose a central location to meet up for a mini reunion. We had a great time. The house is just as described, very comfortable and just minutes from downtown and restaurants. All of the local restaurants were great….we enjoyed several really good meals. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive. All in all, a cute, quiet little treasure of a place!
