All of the comforts of home in a vintage house right across the street from City Park with walking trail, tennis court, basketball court, playground and less than half mile from historic downtown.

Shop downtown Elgin's great shops. Plenty to do or just do nothing. The space Juanita's little yellow house was built in 1950 and was her home for many years. It has been lovingly restored to retain much of the original charm while gaining an updated bathroom and kitchen. The house has a vintage electric range and new dishwasher. Juanita didn't really like to cook, but there are all of the basics in terms of cookware provided. Guests can enjoy a light self-serve breakfast and can select from coffee, a variety of teas, granola bars, fruit and other similar light breakfast items. There will also always be a variety of beverages in the refrigerator waiting for guests to arrive. If you are staying for more than a night or two, grocery stores and great places to eat are less than a mile away A major advantage to staying at Juanita's is the beautiful park directly across the street! There is a walking trail, tennis court, basketball court, as well as a playground and open green space. Perfect place to get some exercise after a day of working in our area or for getting outside on a weekend away. Whether you are here for work or for relaxing, the park is there for you just outside the front door. Guest access This is our weekend home, so guest will find all that they need for a comfortable stay and have full access to the house. We are not scheduled to be there while guests have reservations. Other things to note Please Note: The City of Elgin and Bastrop County both require that Occupancy Taxes be collected from guests who book a stay at our home. Those taxes are not part of the State Occupancy Tax that is collected by Airbnb. The City and County Occupancy Tax equals 7.75% of the total to be paid to the host (the total of the rent collected and the cleaning fee). That total 7.75% will be collected from the guest at check in by the host. Please come with cash or personal check that can be used for that purpose. A receipt for your taxes paid will be provided. Also: Juanita never used the front door much. We suggest that you pull around to the back of the house and park in front of the garage. The key you get from us will bring you in the back door. After all, don't all family and friends use the back door?
