Our Reviews

A grand property We were thoroughly impressed with this B&B. Steve gave us a tour along with the history of the house as we were checking in. Every room was filled with character. We walked into town for dinner, awe-struck at the grand properties along the street. This was such a great experience.

A charming look at Erie History My 3 brothers and cousin stayed at the historic Spencer House because it was in the neighborhood where most of us got our start as children. Erie has really improved since our last visit. We have all have traveled widely in the US and the world. The house, and our host and hostess exceeded expectations, with charming period decor, a detailed history of the house and neighborhood. When we return we'd all stay there again, without question!!

This house is absolutely amazing! Both rooms we stayed in were so cozy. Every morning waking up we could smell the breakfast cooking downstairs and it was so delicious! We felt like royalty sitting at the dining table to eat. We hope to come back again next year! Thank you so much for everything ❤️

Beautiful and historical BB Had a wonderful but short stay. Steve and Lisa were excellent hosts. Steve provided great detail and history of the Spenser House and surrounding neighborhood. The Solarium was a great spot to enjoy a glass of wine and play a game.

OVER THE TOP "Over the top" Bets Bed and Breakfast ever. We were treated as a king and queen. Steve and Lisa were fantastic. So much to see and enjoy in Erie and Spencer House is conveniently located to everything.

Wonderful place, will be back for sure. Breakfast was excellent! Very nice and charming place. Highly recommend going to the Spencer House B&B for a relaxing stay. Everything was top notch. Steve answered all the questions we had regarding the area and what was happening in the area.

Loved it We had a very pleasant stay at the Spencer House. The home itself is beautiful, and the history is interesting. The integrity of the home has been preserved and maintained beautifully. If you love old mansions with charm and history you should stay here. Our room was beautiful and spacious. The bed was very comfortable and cozy. You could almost not even leave the property and have a wonderful, peaceful stay. The front porch is great for sitting and relaxing, and the home is very quiet. But, it is very centrally located, close to walking trails, parks, beaches, and restaurants. Breakfast every morning was perfect. Lots of care and attention to detail goes into The Spencer House.

My husband and I stayed here in July 2023. We had a great time. Kate and Carl were wonderful hosts. Everything was great, from the room to the delicious food. When we first arrived it was pouring rain. Carl came out of the house holding an umbrella. That was so sweet. Kate is a terrific cook!! Her attention to detail is above and beyond. The table was set beautifully. I could go on and on about our stay. We will definitely be back when we head that way. Thanks Carl and Kate!!

A perfect getaway! A perfect little getaway! My Wife and I went down for the weekend to meet some friends and we had a great stay at the Spencer House! The breakfast was delicious and the owners were terrific! I will definitely be heading back!

Lovely B&B The Spencer House B&B was a great stop on our 2 week road trip. Steve and Lisa are wonderful hosts and you could not ask for a better location A little over a mile from the water - we took a lovely stroll though a historic neighborhood on our way to dinner. Breakfast the next morning was delicious.

Charming B&B We were very comfortable here. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Steve and Lisa are welcoming hosts. We were in Erie to attend a funeral and they were very sympathetic and accommodating with a later arrival. Although our reasons for visiting were not for pleasure, I do highly recommend visiting their charming Bed and Breakfast.

Lovely experience at the Spencer House The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The old victorian mansion is teeming with history and class. The grounds are lovely, well landscaped. Loved to sit out on the porch and just relax. Even though close to downtown Erie, it is peaceful and quiet. Breakfasts were excellent and the coffee was superb. The room had a large wall-mounted LED TV.

Pleasant summer get a way Lovely house with amazing wood details. Enjoyed sitting on front porch where there is plenty of comfy furniture. Hosts went above and beyond with breakfast for vegan. Easy drive to Presque Isle. Info on things to do in Erie available in Band B and in advance from them.

Simply Wonderful! The Spencer House is a wonderful place to stay while visiting Erie,PA! Steve gave us a tour of the house and it’s history which was very informative. The craftsmanship of this house is second to none. Lisa served a wonderful breakfast in the stately dining room. We stayed in the Mary room and it was very comfortable for a short stay. My wife and I highly recommend the Spencer House and look forward to coming back again in the future.

Very pleasant stay My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Spencer House. Location is in a beautiful neighborhood of similarly styled homes. We rode our bikes from Spencer House to Presque Isle State Park via quiet neighborhood roads (most with bike lanes) and back. Steve and Lisa are wonderful hosts. We had excellent breakfast both days we were there. They accommodate any special dietary needs.

Highly recommend this BnB! Steve and Lisa were amazing hosts. The breakfasts we had were very good and the room (Presidents Suite) was immaculate. We love the architecture of the home and it looks like it did when it was built. Very close to Presque Isle and great care is taken to make your stay perfect. We will be back! It may seem weird to say, but the mattress was super comfortable!

Must Visit Highly recommend Spencer House Bed & Breakfast. Lisa and Steve were friendly and very knowledgeable about the house and the area. The room was beautiful and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious! We signed up for the sailing package, it went so well.

Great place to stay in Erie! Spencer House and Steve and Lisa are awesome! It's a beautiful house and wonderful atmosphere, and as a bonus, it's a better price than the generic hotels in the area. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options. We will definitely be back next time we are in Erie!

Living like 19th century royalty! What an incredibly beautiful house! It exudes charm and elegance, and makes one feel as though they are part of the high society from that bygone era. The interior woodwork is phenomenal. We stayed in the President's Room; we were awestruck by the four poster king size bed, the fireplace and the original bathroom (added in 1920, subsequent to the original build date in 1880). Our hosts went above and beyond for us and the breakfasts were magnificent. Overall a truly breathtakingly magnificent home. We will definitely be back!

Loved our stay! We really enjoyed our stay at Spencer House! It is a beautiful home with many places to sit and relax. We enjoyed our stay in Mary’s room, and the queen bed was comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious! We also appreciated the close proximity to Presque Isle. If we are ever in the area again, we would love to come and stay again!

Hosts Steve and Lisa were very communicative! We appreciated having access to a common area fridge that was stocked with waters and sodas. The next morning’s breakfast was fabulous! Spencer house is located on “Millionaire’s Row,” surrounded by other gorgeous mansions! If we are back in Eerie, we will definitely be returning to Spencer House!

Would Highly Recommend! This was our 4th or 5th time staying here and we always recommend it to everyone! Always great hospitality and close to everything that Erie and Presque Isle have to offer! I would highly recommend! Our favorite weekend getaway place!

Spencer House is a beautiful and charming Victorian era house on a quiet section of 6th Street in Erie PA. The owners, Steve and Lisa, are are excellent hosts. Not only are they friendly and welcoming, they are also very professional in the way they manage everything. Best of all, the breakfast is out of this world in every aspect! My wife and I stayed two nights, and we could not be more pleased. We would gladly recommend Spencer House to anyone, anytime.

Steve and Lisa run a top-notch B&B. My wife and I were greeted and immediately opted to get the "tour." The house is truly remarkable and we enjoyed the quiet spaces. Part of our first evening there was spent simply taking in some much-needed R&R on their front porch. The attention to detail in the room was noticeable. We really noticed how comfortable the bed was. While expensive, that went a long way to a very nice stay. Of course, you must factor in the breakfast fare at a B&B. Once again, they came through with flying colors. Wonderful food offerings that didn't leave you hungry. We are foodies and this was such an enjoyable experience. We plan to return when visiting Erie. It is our go-to place now. Loved the off-street parking as well. Landscaping was impeccable. Go see them! You'll be glad you did.

Beautiful 19th century mansion. Quite,great breakfast, easy access in a safe neighborhood and a truly wonderful stay. Highest recommendation

Spencer House June 2023 We had a couple of days at Spencer House enroute from Michigan to Canada. The house is being lovingly maintained by Steve and Liza who are lovely people. Breakfast was great especially the blueberry French Toast. Nice touches such as sodas and waters around the house.

We had a one night stay on a Sunday evening. We enjoyed the beautiful B&B with all its charm. Our room was on the 3rd floor which was nice, as it had a King Bed, with a good sized bathroom which had both a shower and jetted tub.
Our breakfast was good and the owners were friendly.

This is a beautiful, historic house on a lovely street, which includes a full scale, delicious breakfast. The hosts are interesting and helpful, but not overbearing. There’s a big, shady porch with comfortable chairs that beg you to sit down for a bit!

Great place to stay. The house is gorgeous, the rooms are clean, and the large porch with its flowers and ferns is beautiful. There are lots of shared spaces in the house for sitting and chatting or reading. There are lots of amenities, too, including a superb breakfast. The hosts are both helpful and delightful.
The house is within walking distance of several attractions, like the History Museum and the Maritime museum, as well as many others. We will definitely be staying there again the next time we visit Erie.
