Charming BNB Outstanding stay at this special BNB. Very comfortable, friendly and charming. Enjoyed great birding nearby at Presque Isle State Park. Steve and Lisa were wonderful hosts. Loved sitting on the expansive porch. Breakfast was superb! Highly recommend!

Great B&B in Erie. The wood work was beautiful and Steve and Lisa were great hosts. The online booking system works great and Steve is very good at communicating with you about your stay and any questions you have. The beds are great and the rooms very clean. It's located with other huge "old money" mansions in the city, so it is a beautiful area of Erie. Near nice parks also. We will stay here again if possible.

Beautiful place and centrally located! It is clean, organized and feels like home. There are many special touches! The history is interesting to know and made it more special. Some down falls are: hard to park, lots of steps, they have a dog and it came out at breakfast.

My husband said it was the best sleep he had in months.our room was spacious and well furnished. On arrival we had a quick tour and learned about the history of the home and community. We loved Spencer House and plan to go again. Breakfast was filling and delicious.

I was attending a funeral at Saint Peter Cathedral in Erie on a quick turn around. Spencer House Bed and Breakfast was the closest "hotel" available and provided a full breakfast. …

We stayed last night at the Spencer House and it was wonderful. We got in pretty late. After 10:30pm and Steve was gracious enough to give us the tour and get us settled. It was wonderful. We will for sure stay there again. The house is gorgeous.

Overnight stay after a concert at the Warner Theater The house is beautiful and our room was clean and very comfortable. The location was very close to the Warner Theater; just a short walk away. Innkeepers were a little bit odd and unprofessional. Because of this, I would not recommend staying here.

Short Stay / Great Experience I was attending a funeral at Saint Peter Cathedral in Erie on a quick turn around. Spencer House Bed and Breakfast was the closest "hotel" available and provided a full breakfast. The staff was attentive and provided us a tour of the common areas of the house as well. I was not disappointed by the decision to book the closest possible place and pay just a little bit more than I might have otherwise.

For my wife & I this was our very first overnight stay at a bed & breakfast. Our hosts Steve & Lisa were extremely friendly & accommodating & getting the tour upon our arrival was thoughtful to get some insight into the home's history. We were 100% satisfied with our room & large bathroom & most importantly the mattress & pillows were just heaven to sleep on. We were also pleasantly surprised with the extra special touch of chocolate from a local maker on our dresser. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast options as well. If you are in the Erie area specifically near downtown then we heartily recommend The Spencer House.

We had a great overnight stay. The room was perfect and the breakfast was yummy. Steve and Lisa were wonderful hosts. Steve shared the history of the home and a tour. Also, last but not least the service was top notch he even brushed the snow off or car.

We went to Erie at the last minute Valentine's Day Weekend. The room was beautiful and so comfortable. Breakfast was outstanding and our hosts were so welcoming and friendly. As lovers of antiques and old architecture, we could not have asked for more.

I was snowed in Erie with a friend and found Spencer house last minute. The house is incredibly beautiful! Amazing wood work and old American detail - We stayed in the nursery with 2 beds. …

Overnight stay in Erie The house was beautiful and clean. Room was very nice and comfortable. Was very walkable to downtown Erie. We stayed in the nannies room. The husts were very informative and helpful. Everything was very nice and the breakfast was amazing. Definitely recommend.

Our second stay here. Beautiful showcase of the heyday of Erie. Owners love their home and sharing it with others. Very kind and thoughtful. Good at communicating. Easy-going. We stayed in the Nanny room. Small but comfy. Private bathroom. Breakfast was great!

review This b&b was absolutely beautiful. The owners were very attentive and friendly, and the rooms were very comfortable. I loved learning about the history of the building. Also, I wound up staying here last minute when I got stranded by a snow storm, and the owners were so accommodating!

Spencer House is beautifully decorated and all the rooms are impeccably clean. We left at 5:30 in the morning and Steve and Lisa left us a wonderful bagged breakfast (since we missed the hot breakfast that they served later in the morning).
We were so happy to stay here and hope to return!

Relaxing peaceful space They served a hardy and delicious breakfast. The bed was comfortable and the decor well done. It has so much old charm. The chocolate they left for me was delicious and the hot drinks were a welcome reprieve from the snowy night. They are so friendly. I hope to do this again sometime.

hands down a great choice! I was snowed in Erie with a friend and found Spencer house last minute. The house is incredibly beautiful! Amazing wood work and old American detail - We stayed in the nursery with 2 beds. The room was quiet and the mattresses were very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and had great water pressure. The breakfast was healthy and delicious. I only wish I stayed longer! Highly recommend! The owners were kind and very helpful!

Winter getaway My husband and I did a winter getaway which was the best! We stayed at the Spencer House after I saw rave reviews and we were very pleased! The hosts were very welcoming and accommodations left nothing to be desired. We rounded out the stay with a play at Erie, Playhouse, and dinner at Colaos.

When I called to discuss the differences between the rooms I was interested in Steve took the time to answer all of my questions. Since I have back issues the bed was a primary concern. The bed was fantastic. No pain in the morning. Wonderful luxurious linens as well. Breakfast was delicious. The baked pears were a wonderful treat. There was an ice storm over night, so the off street parking was very helpful for our safety getting to our car. Magnificent woodwork, meticulously kept. We will definitely stay here again!

Spencer House is a delightful place to spend a night (or more) in Erie, PA. There's so much history and beauty in this mansion everywhere you look. We were there late January on a trip from New York home to Indiana, and it was a perfect treat to end our trip. Steve and Lisa are wonderful hosts, from the historical tour that revealed how this place came to be, to our comfy accommodations, to the amazing breakfast they prepared and served us the next day. Can't recommend Spencer House enough!

We've been to many hotels in Erie, but Spencer House is far and away the best place to stay! Big gorgeous rooms, very tasty breakfasts, very friendly hosts! Don't pass the opportunity to experience Spencer House!🥰

Starting off Steve and Lisa were great host. Learning about the history of Spencer House made our stay more meaningful.
The photos posted on the internet only gives you a hint of the craftsmanship from 1870. You must see the interior in person.
My wife and I stayed the Mary's room, Quaint little room with naturally the touch of time.
The morning brought us to breakfast, scrambled eggs, bacon and herb potatoes ( you have to tasted these babies).
I'm very critical on places i have to stay in, there is absolutely nothing to be critical in this home and I do mean home since Steve and Lisa make you feel about as comfortable as you need to be.
To end this ramble, if you are in Erie looking at motels, give the Spencer House B&B a chance, you will not regret it.
Thanks Steve and Lisa
Hopefully we will see you soon.

Impressive, well maintained historic home. The original woodwork is beautiful. Steve and Lisa are wonderful innkeepers. Steve provides a tour of the home while sharing his wealth of knowledge. The made to order, sit down, full breakfast is a real plus. Highly recommend Spencer House!

Very Relaxing Stay We enjoyed our stay very much. The owners were very kind and the not just our room but the whole inn was just very homie and welcoming. It was very quiet even though there were other guests we never heard them.it is just beautifully decorated and I can’t wait to go back.

Congratulations to Lisa and Steve for exceeding our expectations once again! Our stay at our "home away from home" was fantastic. We truly appreciate the time and care you both put in to every single detail. The food, service and accommodations were superb. Keep up the great work....and the baked pears were to die for!!!

We stayed for four nights in the Spencer Suite. It was a lovely, spacious room, very comfortable and quiet (as are all the rooms). The building is beautiful and historic, filled with architectural detail. …

Lucky last-minute booking We were on a 2,000+ mile road trip. Some nights were booked in advance, some weren't, because we had flexibility on certain days about how far we would drive. The night before we planned to arrive in Erie, PA we looked at TripAdvisor reviews and decided to stay at Spencer House B&B. We were pleased with our room, the extras like chocolate and bottled water, and the best part was breakfast. We would return.
