The Spencer House was fabulous! Steve and Lisa do an amazing job. Great home cooked breakfast, quiet rooms and private bathrooms. We will definitely be staying there next year!
The Spencer House is a lovely Bed and Breakfast. This year is our 3rd year in a row that we have stayed here for Gannon University's Parent's Weekend. It is absolutely perfect due to its location and the overall charm of this gorgeous old mansion. Steve and Lisa are exceptional hosts. They are starting to feel like family now. The cleanliness of the home, the landscaping, and the delicious made to order breakfast every morning is something that we truly appreciate. Stay here instead of the hotels, you will not regret your choice.
Beautiful historic Inn, with great Innkeepers, Breakfasts, and location. Beautiful old Inn, with a great history. The Innkeepers (Lisa and Steve, plus their dog Blessing) were great, serving up wonderful breakfast each morning, and helping with recommendations and directions. Spencer House is just 5 blocks from a view of the Lake, plus many nearby restaurants, breweries and things to do.

My wife Amy and I traveled to Erie in Sept. 2025 so that I could run the Erie Marathon on Presque Isle. From the beginning, Steve and Lisa were very attentive hosts. They are particularly good communicators; before our arrival, they sent us a very helpful guide to the house and things to do in Erie. The house is a lovely Victorian not far from downtown Erie and the beautiful waterfront. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and nicely decorated (we stayed in the Nanny's room). We got nice recommendations for dinner for Friday night (Pineapple Eddie's) and for my carbo-loading dinner on Saturday (Coala's). There's also a very nice bakery (Herb & Honey) right around the corner. The included breakfast was very good, although I left too early on Sunday to enjoy it a second time. A late check-out is available (which I needed after the race), but there is a $40 charge. If you are visiting the Erie area, definitely consider staying here.
An absolutely wonderful experience. Gorgeous house, excellently maintained by the innkeepers which really blew us away. The amenities were fantastic and the decor was breathtaking. The service was also top notch, with an amazing breakfast every morning. Cannot recommend The Spencer House Enough.
Short stay Lovely stay in Erie’s first bed and breakfast. Hosts welcoming and informative. Beautiful interiors. Yummy breakfast. Would stay again.

Steve and Lisa are lovely hosts! So happy we decided to stop in Erie and stay the night at the Spencer House. For sure a highlight of our trip!
Steve & Lisa are an excellent example of perfect hospitality.
Our stay at Spencer House Bed & Breakfast was perfect. We definitely will stay there again while visiting Erie, Pennsylvania.
Wonderful stay at Spencer House My husband and I greatly enjoyed our 2 night stay at Spencer House. Steve and Lisa are excellent and attentive hosts. The historic property is beautifully maintained and carefully decorated with many lovely touches and antiques. Our room (Spencer's room) on the 3rd floor was large, clean, comfortable and quiet. We were able to store our bicycles in the garage and enjoyed a bike ride around Presque Isle. The location is great - quiet neighborhood and close to everything. Breakfast was good and we enjoyed talking to our fellow guests. (You know you're staying in a great place when your fellow guests are repeat visitors.) We also purchased the sunset sailing package "Your Sailing Adventure" at a discount with our reservation. Highly recommend the sailing experience with Captain Scott and crew members Jeannine and Stephanie. All in all, a wonderful time and we would be happy to return.
Great place to stay while visiting Erie! Lovely historic home. The hosts were very accommodating and served a wonderful breakfast ! I believe the only bed and breakfast in Erie! We would definitely stay again.
Spencer House Bed & Breakfast offers a warm and comfortable stay in a beautifully preserved historic home. The Victorian charm is evident throughout, with antique details and inviting common areas that make the atmosphere unique and memorable. Rooms are clean and thoughtfully furnished, providing a balance of comfort and character. The breakfast is well-prepared and adds a personal touch to the experience. Its convenient location near downtown Erie makes it easy to explore the area, though parking can be a bit limited during busy times. Overall, it’s a pleasant option for those seeking a blend of history, comfort, and hospitality
This was our 4th time staying, and it was wonderful just like each time before! Steve and Lisa are friendly and attentive, breakfast is amazing and very filling, and the rooms are so comfortable. We appreciate the complementary bottled water on each floor as we spend much of our visit outside in the heat at Presque Isle and downtown at Celebrate Erie! You will not regret staying here!

Gorgeous Historic Home. Innkeepers are nice people and gave us a wonderful breakfast. Area has a lot of beautiful architecture and Erie Lake waterfront has good restaurants within walking distance. …
Ever see pics of an old mansion and wistfully wonder what it would be like to walk the staircase, sit in the furniture, and peruse the library? The Spencer House is a beautifully maintained historic mansion giving just such an opportunity. My wife & I went here for an anniversary trip and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great ambiance, excellent food, beautiful decorations, and really nice hosts. 5 out of 5 stars.
Great experience in lovely setting We stayed there 3 nights in July. Our hosts were very friendly, and they have maintained and decorated the house beautifully. There is a lovely front porch to sit on and relax. Traffic on the street is minimal. Breakfast was a little different every day and was delicious (they have two seatings - 8 am or 9 am). Consisted of fruit first course followed by pancakes or waffles, eggs, fried potatoes, and ham or bacon or sausage. Our room was very spacious and comfortable including a sitting area with sofa, and the bathroom was clean. This room has separate sink in the bedroom and the shower and toilet in the bathroom. The only (minor) negative was the air conditioner unit which was a bit noisy whenever it cycled on. We would stay there again and recommend to others.
We have stayed at the Spencer House a few times and it is always a pleasurable experience. The hosts are kind and helpful, and the breakfast is delicious and generous. The atmosphere in the home is beautiful, feel like a princess staying there. A beautifully restored and well kept mansion with amazing gardens, fresh flowers, etc. Highly recommend!

Steve and Lisa are wonderful, attentive hosts, and their B&B is beautiful. The full breakfasts were the best of homecooked meals. The location is great - easy to get to museums, the minor league ballpark, and Presque Isle State Park. We would definitely stay there again!
It's one of the best bed and breakfasts I have stayed at. Lisa and Steve could not be more accommodating, beginning with greeting us when we arrived, providing a little history of the house before showing us to our room. …
Steve & Lisa are great hosts - knowledgeable about the history of the house and attentive to guests' needs (if any). Full breakfasts were the best of homecooked meals! Great location from which to explore all Erie has to offer.

My wife and I spent two nights and it was one of the best B&B we have experienced. The Spencer House B&B is a beautiful home built in 1876 and has all the features from that time. Our room was quite comfortable with a large bathroom with a shower and jacuzzi tub. |Their breakfasts are amazing.

In addition to the breakfasts, the other amenities were thoughtful and unexpected: soda, water, tea bags, coffee and especially the chocolate bar. Would definitely return when in Erie/Presque Isle again!

Best place to stay in Eire Pa. & its a great location! If you have never been to the Spencer House in Erie PA. your really missing out! The owners,Steve& Lisa are fabulous. They are very hard workers as you can tell by the grounds outside the home & how clean the rooms are inside. The breakfasts are to die for & a lot of the decorations inside are made by Lisa. You can tell they are proud hosts. You also will enjoy the history behind the house. My wife & I have been going there for quite a few years & hope to get there at least 2 or 3 more times this year. Presquile Park is near by where my wife & I enjoy riding our bikes around the 13 mile trail around lake Erie peninsula while others enjoy walking,jogging & boating. There is plenty to do there or just relax.The house is in a very nice neighborhood & close to everything. Do yourself a favor,don't miss out!

The Spencer House was an absolute treat. A beautiful Victorian mansion with incredible architecture and ambiance. I loved how many cozy spots there were to relax (inside and out) and appreciated the privacy throughout my stay. The house is full of character, and everything was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was well-rounded, delicious and filling. Steve and Lisa were most hospitable and welcoming—I loved the tour.
Small things made for a wonderful experience, such as chocolate covered strawberries (pre-ordered), plenty of tea, and a clawfoot bathtub. Overall a great place to unwind and enjoy Erie and well within walking distance of State Street and other attractions.
Steve & Lisa are awesome!! They were so nice and very enthusiastic about sharing the history of the house. The house is magnificent!!! They have really done a wonderful job with it. Breakfast was fantastic and the pancakes Lisa made are now my all time favorite! 😁
Steve and Lisa are great hosts. We loved the architecture and history of the home. The beds were so comfortable. Breakfast was amazing. We enjoyed visiting Presque Isle park and the restaurants in the area. Will definitely stay again when in the area!
Steve and Lisa were great hosts. Our room was very cozy, clean and private. The house is really beautiful and close to everything! Breakfast was delicious and we even got a special welcome from their yellow lab.
Highly recommend.
