Spencer House B&B 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.

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!!!

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 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.

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.
