About this property

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.

Why they chose this property

Welcome to The Old Dairy, one of the original dairies to Brenham, the home of Blue Bell Ice Cream. The Old Dairy was one of the original dairies that provided milk for the town of Brenham in the early 1900s. Tucked away in an ideal spot with convenient access to both Round Top and historic downtown Brenham, The Old Dairy feels like a world away. Soak in the simple charms of our quiet small town farm.

What makes this property unique

The Old Dairy is a small farm experience. It has rabbits, chickens, and garden. Feel free to help yourself to fresh herbs from the garden. The backyard is yours to enjoy. We have a fire pit, picnic table, and seasonal 10 ft x 30 inch pool to relax in (only in the summer).
