    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.

    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.


    The owner really went all out for our anniversary weekend.

    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.

    My girlfriend and I headed down to Austin for our aniverssary and were looking for a nice romantic B&B downtown. Overall we had a good experience with the Inn at Pearl St. The 100+ year old homes and grounds make for a really romantic setting, can certainly see why people get married here. The location is great, a short walk to the 'Drag' at West Campus and minutes away from anything downtown. The service was much better than we expected, especially after some of the reviews we read. The owner Jill was very nice and accommodating, and nothing like some of the negative reviews we'd read. The breakfast was continental style, about what you would expect. Overall we were quite happy with our stay and had a great relaxing weekend.
