Our Reviews

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.
Kevin and Martha Haas

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.

Spencer House is a real gem in Erie! 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!

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. …

The Best Stay in Erie Congratulations to Lisa and Steve for exceeding our expectations once again! Our stay at our "home away from home" was fantastic.

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.

A must visit in Erie! Steve and Lisa are the most gracious hosts. I always love staying here when I am in Erie.
Every room has its own unique charm.
I have an amazing night's rest and the breakfast is outstanding.
I highly recommend a stay here if you are taking in a concert or event.

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! …

Relaxing Stay at Spencer House B & B 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. Steve and Lisa made wonderful breakfasts, with something different every day. This was our second stay, and the next time we're in Erie we'll most likely stay there again.

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.

Stepped back in time Our hosts, Lisa and Steve were very friendly. The house is absolutely beautiful. Breakfast was very tasty. Lisa is an excellent cook. The guidebook they created to download was very helpful. We will definitely recommend to family and friends.

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.

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. …

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!

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.
