Super cute!
I stayed here with my sister the night before my wedding & with my new husband the night after. It was perfect for getting ready in. In a central location to everywhere we needed for a reasonable price. We felt safe & secure also, & the house seemed well maintained. Overall, lovely place!

The Pearl is a charming little cottage near sleepy downtown Belton. The location is perfect for exploring the town or for a short trip to historic Salado or to Waco for the Magnolia Market. So many nearby restaurants, each with delicious food! Highly recommend The Pearl.

Quaint and Historic
Very clean home with distinct historic touches. Easy check in and out. We had an 80+ lady in our family and inside was very accommodating for them. Bottle water and wine in the fridge was a nice amenity. Would definitely stay there again if in the area.

Happy Birthday America
What a great location for celebrating Fourth of July. Just a few steps from parade viewing site and Millers bar b que. this is our second time staying at Historic Pearl. Cute house very clean, safe and easy to walk downtown. Parking pad big enough for 2 cars. Book early as this place is so popular it is always booked.

Perfect place to land. Clean. Comfortable. Good location. Host was proactive, especially given that we had no power for the majority of my stay given the tornado that hit and displaced most families in my area for days

Beautiful vintage home, masterfully updated.
This property was just perfect for my son and I while we visited Belton. This older home has been updated for modern convenience while keeping its vintage charm. It was spotlessly clean and had everything that we needed. Kelly was fantastic and check-in was so easy. The property is within easy walking distance of the downtown area. Loved our stay here!

Perfect for what we needed
This darling cottage was less than 1/2 mile from UMHB and nestled in the historic part of downtown. So convenient for move in weekend with easy access to the trail for running. The cottage itself was clean and darling. The beds were comfortable and it has some really nice finishes. We’ll definitely be back.
