We stayed at Casa Avecita for four nights in early June, using it as a home base while exploring hill country on our first trip to Texas. It was a peaceful spot, offering daily exposure to deer and birds. No campers were there during our stay, so the sounds heard were birdsong, occasional cars, roosters, a donkey.... Access to the Medina River for daily dips was wonderful although the drought kept the water level on the low side. The cabin was clean, nicely appointed and very comfortable. There are a couple convenience stores in the area (none within walking distance), and the closest town is Bandera, about a 20 minute drive. The owner shared detailed directions and instructions ahead of our arrival and checked in via VRBO to see if we needed anything. She was very responsive when we had questions.
