About this property

Clink on the Creek- Creekside DT Belton- 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

Excellent time in the Clink

The Clink on the Creek is a fun historical place to stay. Walking distance to some of Belton’s best spots and everything you’d need to have a great time- cornhole, adult sized swing, fires pit and grills and a fully stocked kitchen. I expect we will be back.

AWESOME

VERY comfortable. The property was well stocked and within walking distance to some fun eating establishments. The backyard has multiple levels for you and your guests (family) to enjoy some quick time relaxing and watching the water roll by, then have a nice BBQ dinner at the table for 6 on the outside kitchen level. All while others walk down to the creek looking for crawdads.We enjoyed the unique opportunity to stay in a historical property. We will definitely be back!

Creekside view was so restful.

Three family women on a girl’s trip. Was perfect. Great location- can walk to coffee shop and restaurants. The deck overlooking the creek was wonderful - we spent most of our time there. Charming house. We are already talking about returning. Thank you so much.

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.

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.

Excellent in Every Way

A fabulous place with the most excellent hosts we’ve ever interacted with! The house itself is completely usable and every single amenity is included: all kinds of pots, pans, differently sized plates and cups and glasses, foil and parchment paper-it lacks absolutely nothing! Add to that the historic nature of the house-so fun to stay in the old jail and to be able to see evidence of it. The patios are excellent and the creek is right out back; a couple of blocks from the front of the house are coffee shops (one with incredible tacos) and stores. Easy drive to Chalk Ridge Falls and Lake Belton. This is a one of a kind property, and the responsiveness of the hosts is out of this world. Ten out of ten for everything about our stay!
