Juanita's House on Main St.

Fully restored 1950's cottage full of light and charm. All of the comforts of home in a vintage home right across the street from City Park with walking trail, tennis court, basketball court, playground and less than half mile from historic downtown. This can be a quiet place for writers to create that next great American novel, or travelers to retreat after a busy day of work as the State Capital is only 20 miles away. Shop downtown Elgin's great shops. Plenty to do or just do nothing.

About Our House
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, oatmeal, and other similar light breakfast items. There will also always be a variety of beverages in the refrigerator waiting for guests to arrive.

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.

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.

I think people coming to stay at Juanita's will want quiet time, so I don't intend to be present beyond arranging for their key and answer any questions they may have about the house or about Elgin.

Downtown Elgin is the spot for antiques and thrift shopping. Some very fun home decor stores are less than half a mile from Juanita's house. And her house is also just off HWY 95 which will take you to Taylor, TX, just 14 miles away. Taylor is the home of more great shopping. Great BBQ (especially sausage!) is a wonderful reason to stay at Juanita's house. Elgin boasts some of Texas' best BBQ, all less than a mile from N. Main St.

There is plenty of parking right there on the property and guests will need a car.

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?

Host will collect local and county taxes (Hotel Occupancy Tax required by Bastrop County) after booking confirmation.

Perfect! Our Second Stay
Juanita’s house is a nicely maintained 1950’s property and suits our group’s needs well. We are 4 senior citizens that travel together often.Judy is very responsive. The pillows are nice, but thick. If you prefer a flatter pillow, you may want to bring it. We highly recommend Juanita’s for 2 couples or small groups. Try it, you’ll be glad you did!

Retro Perfection
This was by far the cutest place we have ever stayed! It was decorated so perfectly that it felt like we were stepping back in time to when it was first built--but with all the modern conveniences you could ask for. You can't help but feel at home! The house is positioned directly across from the park, two minutes from 290, and a quick drive to downtown eateries. The property manager was welcoming, easy to communicate with, and accommodating. We will definitely book Juanita's House for our next trip to Elgin!

Elgin family celebration
It was perfect for a short stay for a family gathering in Elgin. Much better than a hotel for us seniors. I needed an oven to prepare a dish for the event. Will stay again when visiting family.

Lovely little house
The house was clean and comfortable. It is close to everything in town (between a 2 to 8 minute drive) and is across the street from a park. Communication with the owner was easy and she is very nice. I would stay here again.

Charming and Unique!
Great experience. The inside was clean and minimalistic. It balanced some vintage charm with modern comforts. We were able to have a nice family getaway without any issues. It's close to downtown Elgin for some nice small town comforts and minutes away from your chain restaurants, grocers and stores.

House is very clean, great communication with host, wifi is decent. House is on a main road, traffic sound may bother light sleeper, bothered my husband but not me. It was a quick trip for us, didn’t use the kitchen.

Perfect Home for family visit
We stayed at Juanita's house during a visit to see family in Elgin. It was absolutely perfect. The home is clean and well organized. The bedrooms comfortable with nice linens. The kitchen spacious and accommodated us perfectly to be able to cook a family dinner! The neighbors are also very friendly. We particularly loved the dedication to Juanita on the wall. Anytime I return to Elgin to see my family, this will be my first choice of accomodations.

Felt like home
Super comfortable place. The cleanliness was a breath of fresh air. Neighborhood was quiet and we were undisturbed. We were only there for overnight (less than 12 hrs,) it was comfy, and we felt safe. We had more coming with us but had to cancel last minute, so it felt like it was more than we needed. Plenty of space!
