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.

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

This gem of a Centurian cottage served my small family so well to celebrate privately for my UMHB graduation ceremonies. Plenty of extra linens made the space so comfy.

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!

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.

Great house

This was our second time to this quiet and homey house. The beds are comfortable, and the home is very clean. We come from business once a year at the Belton Convention center. Which is a short distance. The house is walking distance from downtown. Which is great to walk to dinner and cute shops.
