Our Reviews

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.

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. …

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.

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. The room was spacious; it and the bathroom had everything we needed. The breakfasts were delicious, filling and healthy. 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!

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. …

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 is a beautiful home and our room was one of the best we have stayed in.
Steve and Lisa are awesome inn keepers.
The breakfasts were amazing and Steve’s
knowledge of the Spencer House’s history and knowledge of the City of Erie, PA was quite entertaining. We would recommend the Spencer House B&B and we hope to stay there again in the future.

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.

The hosts were very welcoming and the house was beautiful. We chose the Nanny's room - which was very private with its own bathroom. The room was cozy, clean and very very comfortable with some very pretty bedding. …

The Place to stay in downtown Erie, PA 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. Loved the Bay House Oyster Bar and Restaurant for dinner and great views. Historic Gannon University is worth the walk down 6th street, the whole area is being brought back to its 1800’s elegance and the Spencer House is part of that elegance. Would definitely recommend!

A beautiful bed and breakfast ! The house was beautiful and so clean and well kept and our host were so wonderful we had a great experience and will be back !!

A great weekend at Spencer House Spencer house is a beautiful home that is hosted by great people. Steve and Lisa were very welcoming and the room we stayed in (Mary’s room) was clean and comfortable. The beds are extremely soft and the complimentary homemade breakfast (courtesy of Lisa) was delicious and added to the homely atmosphere. Me and my partner will definitely be returning

Loved it!!!! Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The house is just beautiful!! Steve and Lisa were the best. From their hospitality to the delicious breakfast Lisa made it was off the charts great!!

Great stay Fun trip to Erie with a great breakfast and the most comfortable bed! Loved the history of the house. Thank you Steve and Lisa!

Great place to relax and unwind The hosts were very welcoming and the house was beautiful. We chose the Nanny's room - which was very private with its own bathroom. The room was cozy, clean and very very comfortable with some very pretty bedding. Breakfast was delicious and they even gave us a yummy chocolate bar from Pulakos. I was able to relax and read in the solarium and, even though the house was full of people, I felt like I was in a very private space. Highly recommend!

My friend and I stayed at Spencer House B&B for a girl’s weekend in Erie. It was the best find! Lisa and Steve were hospitable and accommodating. The homemade breakfast every morning was delicious (don’t skip the potatoes) and all of the rooms and common spaces were charming. It’s located a 15-minute walk from Downtown, making it the perfect location. We are already planning our next trip to bring our husbands!

Wonderful stay at Spencer House! We had a lovely experience at Spencer House Bed and Breakfast. The location is ideal—close to everything in Erie, including the marinas and Presque Isle, but still peaceful and quiet. Our room was beautiful, very comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped—even plenty of outlets to charge our devices, which we really appreciated! Breakfast each morning was delicious and clearly made with care. The hosts were caring, attentive, and incredibly helpful with local tips and activity planning. (Don't miss the Pampered Romance or Sunset Sail packages!) They really go above and beyond to make your stay special and took care of all the details, making our experience all the better. The only thing we would have liked better would be to have had a bathroom on the first floor, but everything else was so well done that it didn’t detract from the overall experience. Great value, great service—highly recommend!
