About this property

Waterfront Historical Bell County Jail- Pet friendly

Take a step back into the late 1800s while enjoying comfortable, modern accommodations with this historic home. Originally used as the first Bell County Jail offering spectacular views of Nolan Creek and direct creek access! Constructed in 1873 and featuring the original jail bar windows, the home was built out of solid limestone bricks and still has exposed limestone throughout the home. We have all that you will need for a cozy getaway in the heart of Downtown Belton. At almost 2500 square feet you will have plenty of room to make yourself right at home. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs with 1 king, 1 queen and 2 sets of bunk beds. There is also a full-size desk with office chair in the guest bedroom that overlooks the creek. There is one full bathroom upstairs with a tub which is located in the master and another full bathroom located on the first floor with a shower. This home offers direct access to Nolan Creek, a large covered deck and covered balcony overlooking your private backyard oasis. Located directly across the creek from Yettie Polk Park which features a 3-mile paved walking trail, splash pad, playgrounds, and basketball courts. Permit# 23-10059

Eclipse Retreat
We booked this stay so we could observe and film the Total Eclipse. It is a wonderful historic home with the bonus of having Nolan Creek behind the house. Our family was able to meet us there and enjoy the house, visiting and the Eclipse. If we have a reason to get back to Belton we would definitely book this place. The hosts made it very easy and provided a beautiful venue.

Quiet Getaway
This place was perfect for a quiet getaway. My family and I enjoyed ourselves outside on the back patio just listening to the rustling of the creek water and watching the ducks swim. The kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped with everyday essentials. The sleeping quarters are spacious and comfy. We were in walking distance to restaurants. We shall stay again when we are in Belton. Thanks for a great weekend.

Beautiful Belton Stay
Loved the quaint Bell County Historic Jail (and reading the Bloody Bell County book). Setting on the Nolan Creek and location within walking distance to Water Street Waffles, etc was awesome. House was wonderfully stocked with all we needed for our stay. Many thx to Maile!!! Highly recommend.
