Historic Home in Bastrop! Near Austin, Bastrop State Park and Lost Pines Forrest

Nestled in the quiet, tree-lined district of old Bastrop, Texas, Yerba at Bastrop is just two blocks from the historic downtown and Fisherman’s Park—the gateway to canoeing and other activities on the Colorado River.

This historic home features hardwood floors, airy windows in every room, and organic gardens tended by your hosts, Rudy and Rebecca, who live next door and ensure guests feel at home.

With fireplaces on both levels, the upstairs offers three tranquil bedrooms and two renovated bathrooms—one with a treetop-view bathtub, the other with a waterfall shower. A screened-in porch invites you to enjoy morning coffee or evening drinks with views of birds and bay trees.

Downstairs, the dining room, living room, and piano room provide inviting communal spaces, along with an additional bathroom. The kitchen is a delight, stocked with cast-iron cookware collected by Catine Perkins, the owner’s mother, a noted gardener, cook, and artist. Guests can prepare coffee and tea, gather fresh eggs from the backyard coop, and pick herbs from the garden.
Nearby shops, including the iconic Tracy’s Drive-In Grocery—an eclectic stop for coffee, teas, sandwiches, and essentials—make stocking up easy.

*Note: This property features security cameras with video recording in progress. One is mounted outside near the back gate as guests come onto the property, a second camera outside the front door facing outward and a third camera inside the screened in porch facing the 2 back doors toward the backyard, with a view to the French door entrance as well.

Historical Property

Although the property could use some basic maintenance, it was clean and we appreciated its history. The fourth bed, which is why we chose the property, was a daybed with no real mattress or bedding. The location was great and we walked downtown to eat and shop.

Girls weekend 2024

My two sisters and I plan a yearly getaway in the spring to celebrate our birthdays and just connect. This year we chose Bastrop as they were having a large market event in the convention center. This is a lovely home and we had a wonderful weekend. It’s close to everything downtown where we spent most of our time. Had everything we needed and it was very comfortable. Definitely recommend this beautiful historic home if you’re planning a trip to Bastrop!

Fun Girls Weekend

Our group of friends had a great time in Bastrop and the house really helped make that happen. We were able to easily walk to downtown Bastrop to eat and shop the cute little stores. There was a huge table in the dining room that we played games at every night and the bedrooms were all clustered together upstairs making it feel like a cozy slumber party.

Wonderful stay in a "small" town atmosphere

We came to Bastrop for the F1 race in Austin. Stayed at the main house (there is a cottage as well which we stayer at least time). It was very spatious and convenient to a nice downtown area. The house is 'historical' but does the job. It's well maintained, has a nice screened balcony area, and we had ample room.

Good but quirky

Charming old house, lots of space. Great location. Great for families but difficult with group of adults. We were 4 adults with 1 infant. It’s great if you’re gonna be gone and eat out most of time. living room has daybed, not real sofa and 2 chairs. Master BR has claw tub so ended up 4 adults sharing 1 tiny bathroom. Twin bed is not functional, mattress is so bad- we planned on that for 1 adult sleeping. Porches are amazing and plenty of space to relax. Kitchen is ok-Old Oven needs replacing or repair. Frustrating when trying to cook. Freezer was full upon arrival of owners food. It’s a lovely property, just expect that it’s really an old home you’re borrowing and not a typical rental.

Beautiful property

Stayed here with my mom and we loved it! The house has a lot of antique looking furniture and decorations which was really cool! We got fresh eggs every day and used some of the herbs from the garden as well! The screened in porches were really nice you relax on. The stairs are very short and steep so watch out for those, I slipped the first day! Comfortable beds and the AC worked great!

Family returning to visit relatives.

We rented the Yerba at Bastrop to have a central location to be able to sit with extended family and friends from all of Bastrop. We have his and hers and hers and not everyone wants to be visiting with each other. Renting a home makes for seamless visiting. The house is not just beautiful, but extremely cozy. Although we didn't cook this trip, it has a beautiful kitchen with all the amenities necessary to do so. The dining room is beautiful and we had a lovely breakfast with my mother on our last morning. If the Yerba is available when we come back I would definitely request to rent again.
