Directions to Barton Hill Farms

Tucked beneath the Lost Pines on a tranquil stretch of the mighty Colorado River lies the historic Texas town of Bastrop. Just a short 25-minute drive from the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, this charming borough provides small-town fun within easy reach of big-city living.

Come to Barton Hill Farms for the day, or spend an entire weekend exploring the nature, history, and culture of Bastrop. Established in the 1820s and ‘30s by a small band of Central Texas pioneers, this little city has historical ties to the Texas Declaration of Independence and the Battle of the Alamo.

Bastrop’s historic downtown has been named a “Texas Main Street” city by the Texas Historical Commission. It’s full of mom & pop restaurants, art galleries, boutiques, breweries, and antique shops. And the surrounding countryside is packed full of family-friendly activities. 

Visit McKinney Roughs State Park nearby for hiking and zip-lining. Kayak along the Colorado River, take in live music on Main Street, or tour the Lost Pines Art Center.

There are plenty of places to stay for a weekend in Bastrop. The Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa is a family-friendly resort with both an adults-only pool and an on-site water park for the kids. And there are dozens of charming vacation rentals where visitors can find their home away from home.
