Peace and Quiet

Jennifer and Andrew were fantastic hosts. This was our first trip to Texas and they helped us find the best places to visit. They suggested the area where there was enormous amount of wineries and where to get the best Texas BBQ where locals go to verses where tourist go to and wait for hours. We loved the “petting zoo”. The accommodations were wonderful. The bed was extremely comfortable. We enjoyed the peace and quiet. We shall be back.

Cozy, peaceful getaway!

We loved our stay at the Broken Road Farm!! We would book here again without a doubt. The farm was my personal favorite part. The animals are so friendly and there are so many of them! The place itself was very very clean, cozy and was plenty big for me, my husband and my two in laws. We also brought our two dachshunds with us! It felt very safe and it was super quiet and peaceful. The only thing I would ask about in advance, if you are looking forward to fishing, check with the host first. The pond was a huge deciding factor of us booking because my husband loves to fish and we haven’t gotten away from home in awhile, but the water was way too low this time of year for him to fish. Jennifer did make us away that the water was low, so just ask if you’re interested in fishing. Otherwise great experience and would definitely recommend!

The Perfect Getaway

It was just so peaceful! My husband, my pup and I had such an amazing time. We explore this cute little farm. We enjoyed it so much here that we were hardy in town.It was exactly what we needed away from our very busy life. Host had great communication! I love their touches around the farm and our cozy place. The Christmas tree was a bonus to have. I highly recommend this little farm getaway!

We came for parents weekend at TXST. The place was clean and the beds were comfy. The animals were all friendly and we all absolutely enjoyed getting to pet them and give them treats. We even had fresh eggs from the chickens! The owners were super friendly and helpful! Would 100% book this house again!

Friendly/Neighborly

The hosts were friendly and neighborly but did not intrude in our space. We loved the area and location out of the hustle and bustle of the city but was close enough to be convenient. The hosts gathered farm fresh eggs for us which was a very nice touch. We would love to stay again!
