4.0 out of 5Charming B&B Worth the Every Penny
February 22, 2013
What a find. Beautifully re-done older home in a superb location for visiting Austin/UT. B&B is located on a major street, so my first concern was the noise level-what a surprise. Barely noticed the traffic, even during morning rush hour. Staff was efficient, courteous and there to answer all of our questions. The room we stayed in was spacious with a separate seating/tv area. Bathroom was large and well equipped. Parking is on the property-and what a beautiful and well maintained property. This place is worth the money. It would be an outstanding place if it offered more of a breakfast, but what was there was ample, fresh and well done. Of all the B&B's my wife and I have stayed at here and aboard, this one is certainly one of our top choices. We will definitely recommend it to our friends and stay there on our next trip to Austin.

The Inn at Pearl Street is a "pearl" of a find. I just happened upon this B&B on the internet and took my chances. I was very impressed with the kind service I received and the accommodations were incredibly comfortable and attractive. I love the large, treed, patio area. Thanks especially to Maria and Jill for their easy going and fun attitudes. A+++++++
4.6 out of 5A Lovely Place to Stay!
August 06, 2012
My husband and I got a Groupon for this place because we wanted a mini-getaway. This was the perfect place! The bed in the Oriental Room was SO comfortable. They also had a nice selection of movies and a typical continental breakfast. My favorite part was laying in the hammock outside. At night, the courtyard was filled with pretty twinkly lights and during the day it was peaceful and just shaded enough. At night, we ended up walking to the Congress St. Bridge to watch the bats...it was a LITTLE far, especially in the heat. We had to stop halfway for water! Nothing wrong with a little healthy exercise though! Just be prepared to take a taxi if you're not up for the walk.
4.0 out of 5Great Location with Historic Austin Charm
August 05, 2012
Postives: Peaceful, and well designed outdoor space. Located within walking distance from the University and good restaurants. Great attention to small details that made our stay memorable and easy (white wine in the evenings, snacks in the day, water/ice/coffee stations outside of rooms, menus from nearby restaurants, tourist map of Austin, and more). Very comfy bed! Negatives: The WiFi signal was almost non-existent in our room (European) and the continental breakfast has room for improvement compared to other B&B experiences that we have had.

We highly reommend this beautiful bed and breakfast in the heart of Austin to anyone who loves staying in the opulence of past generations and enjoys the serve yourself breakfast and afternoon snacks idea. Jill and her staff are most helpful and friendly. Sitting on the deck in the cool of the morning for tea and breakfst or in the evening to relax with a glass of wine is heavenly!
4.8 out of 5Perfect Historic Retreat In Downtown Austin
February 06, 2012
Across the country, I've had a myriad of good and bad experiences at bed and breakfast establishments. My stay at this lovely, historic estate was by far the absolute best. It has a European style and flair without being pretentious. We were enamored by the architecture and amazed with collectibles, antiques and gallery-worthy works of art throughout the inn. Most importantly, it offered just the right balance of service and privacy. We especially enjoyed the time we spent with Jill Bickford, the owner, who was accommodating and obviously takes great pride in ensuring her guests the best stay possible. We'll be back.
4.6 out of 5A beautiful little Inn in Austin
October 12, 2011
My husband and I stayed in the Inn's Safari room and are still talking about how comfortable the bed was, how soft the sheets were, and how pampered we felt. We joined family who stayed in the Oxford room and also really happy with the accommodations. We both had balconies off our rooms that were nicely decorated so we spent quite a bit of time at the Inn on our 4 day visit. The Innkeeper, Jill, was always on hand when we had a question, and was always gracious and accommodating. We loved the gardens and sitting areas, especially at night when lit up by hundreds of tealights. The location of the Inn was perfect for those who want to be close to downtown and Whole Foods, we walked to both daily. Thanks again to Jill and the staff at Austin's Inn at Pearl Street for an exceptional visit.

October 09, 2011
I chose this inn for a surprise weekend getaway for our anniversary and couldn't have been happier. Jill and her fiance far exceeded any expectations I had and made the entire weekend very special. I highly recommend spending a little extra money for their Twilight Dinner for Two. I can't remember a more romantic evening.
