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.

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

Cute Pearl in the Heart of Belton
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!

We had a long weekend in Belton and this home was perfect! It was one of the cleanest VRBO rentals we have had, plenty of towels and comfortable beds. Bonus was the proximity to restaurants and a grocery store.

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.

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.
