The Spencer House B&B has great hosts, and they are great Chefs too! The Spencer House B&B has great hosts, and they are great Chefs too! Steve and Lisa and Blessing will make a wonderful getaway for you! Optional add-ons from Allburn Florist and Pulakos Chocolates and Courtyard Winery are a great bonus to the room. The Millcreek Mall Outback Steakhouse - National has great lobster since Red Lobster closed. Erie Maritime Museum & U.S. Brig Niagara had wonderful volunteers with so much knowledge. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did!

Our stay at Spencer House was nothing short of delightful. Innkeepers Steve and Lisa were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating history about the house, which is full of stunning woodwork and unique character. We stayed in the Nanny Suite, which had its own private bathroom. The bed was extremely comfortable, with linens that were soft and luxurious. Thoughtful amenities in the guest areas made our stay feel extra special, and the guidebook provided by Steve and Lisa was packed with great recommendations for exploring the Erie area. We especially enjoyed visiting Pineapple Eddie and Romolo Chocolate, as suggested. For anyone looking for a charming and relaxing getaway, I highly recommend Spencer House!

The Spencer House was such a delight to stay at! The house itself is a stunning historic mansion that is well maintained and has beautiful details. Steve and Lisa gave us a tour sharing the history of the home. It is centrally located in Erie, in a very walkable neighborhood with fascinating architecture. There is great food and museums within an 15 minute walk. Presque isle is an 15 minute drive. Our room was clean and quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was different every morning and was delicious. Steve and Lisa were very attentive and hospitable hosts! We can’t recommend staying at the Spencer House enough!

This is a gorgeous house with beautiful woodwork and lovely decorations. Our room was very nice with lots of extra touches - candy, water and soda available, tea and coffee, etc. The hosts were lovely and were available yet unobtrusive. Breakfast was great, cooked to order with lots of choices.

Wonderful experience My best friend and I traveled to Erie as a half way point between us. The pictures on their website don’t even begin to do justice with how beautiful this home is. Spacious rooms, grand details, friendly and very attentive hosts and a wonderful town. The area is full of beautiful architecture, is very walkable, lots of opportunity for great food, and close to Presque Isle State park where we enjoyed relaxing waves and a beautiful sunset. I could not have asked for anything more because Steve and Lisa thought of everything.

Happy guests! We had a delightfully cozy stay at this wonderful historic home in Erie, PA. The hosts were friendly and knowledgeable, the house was clean and the breakfast was superb. Nice strong coffee. Great front porch for sitting and enjoying. We will be back!

Welcoming I would like to keep this a secret but that wouldn’t be fair. What an amazing bed and breakfast. The owners/innkeepers make your stay the best it can be. Very relaxed environment making you feel immersed in the historical beauty of this very special place. We stayed in Mary’s room and it was very comfortable. Breakfast was superb and Steve gave us the recipe to his blueberry stuffed French toast. I highly recommend you stay here and indulge yourself. I wouldn’t dream of staying anywhere else when I come back to town.

I stayed at The Spencer House for a press trip with Visit Erie. Not only was this my first journalism trip and my first trip to Erie, but also my first stay at a Bed & Breakfast. Steve and Lisa were absolutely wonderful, the rooms were immaculate, and breakfast was super filling. I couldn't have asked for a better stay! From arrival to departure, you are treated like family. Whatever the occasion, you should definitely stay at Spencer House the next time you're in Erie!

History and Charm at a Reasonable Cost My SO and I were drawn to Steve and Lisa's beautifully managed B&B from the other happy reviews here on Trip Advisor, and their generous hospitality, comfortable amenities, and delicious food still exceeded our expectations! Firstly, Steve kindly accommodated some of our travel changes while on the road, and he met us after-hours with great food/dessert recommendations for Erie. Also, since we were traveling with extra gear on the car, he generously offered to let us store it securely overnight on site. Each floor has a cozy common space with a water cooler and mini-fridge/freezer with complementary water, etc, and each room features a local chocolate brand among other niceties for guests. Our reservation was over one of the hottest days of the year, but the beautiful Victorian mansion was comfortably air-conditioned in every room. Lastly, our delicious breakfast (French Toast and potatoes) was only outdone by Steve and Lisa's friendly conversation. We look forward to returning to Spencer House on our next trip!

I adore historic homes, mansions & buildings so when my husband stumbled upon Spencer House for a weekend away, I was excited. Steve & Lisa are fantastic. You immediately get a tour and the history of the home once you arrive. …

Classic B&B Experience Spencer House is a classic B&B, an old victorian with lots of history. Centrally located on a quiet street with other classic homes, it was ideally situated for touring Erie. Steve and Lisa were great hosts, providing the history of the home, recommendations for touring the area, and making you feel welcome. Breakfast was excellent, fresh with good variety.

We enjoyed our stay for one night at The Spencer House in Erie! A beautiful historic mansion on "Millionaires Row". The hosts were very attentive, gave us a brief tour and history of the house, made recommendations and served a hot delicious breakfast in a well appointed dining room. I would definitely recommend if you are passing thru the area.

Spencer House is our go to when we visit friends in Erie. And under the current ownership of Lisa and Steve it has gotten even better! They have made some very good updates to this historic home. Immaculately clean rooms, a beautiful front porch to relax on, excellent breakfasts, and even candy and mints in the foyer. The hosts are friendly and helpful but not intrusive. The location couldn't be better, you can walk a few blocks to downtown Erie and it is an easy bike ride to the peninsula. Highly recommend!

Awesome Victorian Bed and Breakfast My family and I enjoyed staying at Spencer House Bed and Breakfast last week. We loved the beautiful house filled with gorgeous woodwork and antiques from another era as well as the equally hard to find, unsurpassed old-fashioned hospitality of our hosts, Steve and Lisa. Spencer House is comfortable, immaculate, and charming. It is a good place to relax, whether it’s indoors in the well appointed and varied rooms or outdoors on their huge and inviting porch. If you enjoy walking, it’s a good place to get your steps in. If you are driving it’s in a good location to go to Presque Isle, the amusement park, several great restaurants, antique stores and the mall. The breakfasts, prepared by Lisa and Steve, were delicious and filling and served in their gorgeous, floor to ceiling oak dining room. We highly recommend Spencer House Bed and Breakfast and look forward to staying there again soon.

We stayed at Spencer House May 30 - June 2nd to celebrate our anniversary. The hosts were awesome! Rooms were clean, bathroom for our room was separate but private. The house had a lovely old feel with beautiful architecture. Checkin & checkout were easy. The service was great. The location was easy to find on a nice quiet street. Breakfast was prepared fresh each morning. Portions were small but good. Blessing, the dog, is sweet ole gal who came out to greet us! It was a very relaxing trip in a beautiful home.

Staying at a bed and breakfast has always been on my list of things to do. Spencer House certainly made my visit quite remarkable. Beautiful home, comfortable room and great breakfast. Convenient to lake and restaurants. Also enjoyed awesome front porch and flower gardens. Hosts Steve and Lisa made us feel very welcome.

An Incredible Experience!! The Spencer House Bed and Breakfast was an incredible, historic place to stay. Steve and Lisa know the area well and can recommend sites to explore and restaurants to try. Our morning breakfast was straight from a gourmet kitchen and they accommodated my dietary restrictions. The House is very clean, well maintained and located near downtown making it an easy walk to museums and restaurants. We’ll definitely stay again. It beats any hotel experience we’ve ever had.

What a wonderful experience we had at the Spencer House Bed and Breakfast. Steve and Lisa are outstanding hosts. The house is beautiful, the rooms are so comfortable, and Steve and Lisa are so accommodating of special needs. Every detail in the rooms is covered. This was an overall exceptional experience for our family .. and I cannot say enough good things. Thank you for sharing the recipe for the Blueberry Stuffed French Toast 😊. We look forward to returning one day so that we can sit on the beautiful, relaxing front porch and enjoy delicious food.

Thanks to my brother Dave, we held our sibling reunion at Spencer House, with 7 of 8 siblings staying at the B&B (8th lives in Erie). It was wonderful to gather in a beautiful large house that felt like home and allowed us to play games, talk on the porch, and reminisce over a delicious leisurely breakfast.
Steve and Lisa are gracious hosts who are helpful but never intrusive. We loved hearing about the history of the house.
Each room is unique and delightful (and equipped with complementary local chocolate!), and the solid brick walls mean absolutely no sound transfer (Sixth St is quiet, too). Individual AC units for each room allowed us each to stay comfortable during a hot spell, too. The location was perfect for us and is central to almost any point of interest in Erie.
I highly recommend Spencer House for anyone visiting Erie!

I cannot recommend the Spencer House highly enough. We had our family reunion there and myself and every one of my seven brothers and sisters loved Steve and Lisa's warm welcome (not to mention their delicious breakfasts- yum!!! …
