About the host
Hosted by Jennifer Vogel
We’re a working family who loves farm life and the simple joys that come with it. Broken Road is our little piece of peace — a place where we raise animals, tend bees, and enjoy time with family. We built our Airbnb so others could slow down, breathe in the country air, and experience the same calm we get from this land. We love meeting new people, sharing stories by the porch and welcoming guests who appreciate genuine Texas hospitality.
Why they chose this property
We chose this community because it reflects everything we value – quiet country living, strong family roots, and neighbors who look out for one another. This area is peaceful and open, with room for children to roam, animals to graze, and families to grow. It offers the best of both worlds: the calm of rural life and the convenience of being close to small towns and halfway between San Antonio and Austin. The sense of belonging here runs deep, and we are blessed to be part of a community built on hard work, kindness, and genuine Texas hospitality. It is a place where sunrises are slow, stars are bright, and life feels a little simpler — and we are grateful to share that feeling with our guests.
What makes this property unique
Broken Road isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a piece of real Texas life. What makes it special is the peace that settles in the moment you arrive, the sound of wind moving through the trees, and the feeling that time finally slows down. Guests don’t just watch farm life here — they get to be part of it.
You might be greeted by Mabel, our friendly potbelly pig who loves attention and the occasional snack. She’s the heart of the farm and often steals the show with her personality. Alongside Mabel, you’ll meet our other animals, enjoy the hum of bees from the hives, and maybe even catch a sunrise that stretches across the big Texas sky.
Each corner of the property reflects our family’s hard work and love for the land — from the handmade signs to the apots where you can sit quietly and watch the light change. It’s a place built by working hands, where every fence post and flower bed tells part of our story.
At Broken Road, guests often say they arrive as visitors but leave feeling like family. Whether you’re sitting on the porch, visiting with Mabel, or watching stars brighten the night sky, you’ll find something rare here — simple, honest peace.
