Steve and Lisa could not have been better hosts and we enjoyed hearing about the history of the house from them. Our room was excellent, very comfortable and everything we could have hoped for. Breakfast on both days was amazing, Lisa is a wonderful cook. The house is clean and comfortable and I enjoyed the complimentary bottled water, and candy that was left in our room. The entire house is very tidy and our concerns about COVID were put to rest, with hand sanitizer throughout, socially distanced breakfast seating, and reminders to guests to wear their masks. I highly recommend, we will definitely be back, we plan to bring our son for a tripe to Presque Isle read less

A beautiful home with attention to original detail throughout. Knowledgeable owners who share, interesting, in-depth history of the home. Breakfasts are delicious with generous portions. The home is very well maintained, clean and within walking distance to so much in downtown Erie (locally owned restaurants, the Gannon University Campus, nearby sporting venues etc.) Rooms are spacious, off street parking options, Wi-Fi, a large porch in the front for outdoor seating/relaxation. I have stayed at many Bed and Breakfasts over the last 10 years and this by far, has been my favorite. Will definitely be returning. Thank you Steve and Lisa for such wonderful accommodations! read less

The bed in our room and great, and the towels were plush and made me rethink all the linens in my house! Steve and Lisa show great pride in their B&B and were knowledgeable about things to do and see and the history of the area and the house. We walked to dinner from the B&B and it was about a 10 minute walk to where most restaurants and bars were in Erie, quick and easy.This is a really nice place. We really enjoyed! read less

The house is a beautiful old mansion from the 1870s with 12 foot ceilings and all the original woodwork. Worth going just to see that. Our room was large, comfortable and spotlessly clean. As adults in our 60s, we were pleased the website described all the innkeepers are doing to keep everyone healthy during the pandemic. We felt very safe and welcome. read less

Steve & Lisa are amazing hosts. The food is superb. The house is spectacular and the area is breathtaking.

Thank you, Steve & Lisa, for a wonderful time. read less

I wanted her to have her first B and B experience. Spencer House was perfect for both. Very easy, quick trip to Presque Isle beaches, and got to come back to a beautiful, comfortable home. My daughter is a breakfast lover, and raved about Lisa's strawberry waffles. We stayed in Nannys Room, which is very small and cozy. Has is own private hall and spacious bath with clawfoot tub. The bed was extremely comfortable. If you have COVID concerns, breakfast had 2 seatings and was socially distanced, and rooms are kept vacant for 24 hours between guests. Steve always was masked, and the perfect host. I especially appreciated the ability to control our rooms temperature. I've stayed in quite a few Victorian b and b's, but this is the first that I could adjust the temperature (I like it chilly when I sleep). The home is lovely and peaceful, and would also be a great place to stay for Gannon college tours or parent weekends. Easy walk to campus. We also decided to take a day trip to Niagara Falls, which is an easy 2 1/4 hour drive. Spencer House will now be our go-to place to stay on our Presque Isle beach trips. read less

From the moment we arrived, until our departure, we felt like welcomed friends and will be sure to return again in the near future. The Victorian home of Steve and Lisa is GORGEOUS and immaculate yet not "stuffy" at all. Sit on the furniture and make yourself at home! All protocols were followed by staff and guests, making us all feel safe and respected. The accommodations were spacious and the breakfast was absolutely delicious...the best I've had in a very long time! If you are on the fence, do yourself a favor and jump outside of your comfort zone. You won't regret it! read less

The home is beautiful, and loved hearing the history from the hosts. Very clean, and we felt especially comfortable with the extra measures they were taking during this pandemic. The food was excellent! The hosts Steve and Lisa are down-home welcoming owners who will make sure that every need and detail is taken care of for you. Wish we could have spent more time on the wonderful front porch watching the world go by. We will look forward to that on our next visit for sure. read less

I love old houses so it was great to enjoy all the beauty right in front of you. We stayed in the Spencer suite and it was very roomy and the huge walk in shower was great!

Every room and space in the house was neat and spotless. We stayed in the Spencer suite which had plenty of space and the great big shower was awesome!

We enjoyed sitting on the porch, visiting with other guests while socially distanced at breakfast, and of course lounging in our room. The B&B is conveniently located near the Bayfront, and it’s just a short (10 minute) drive to Presque Isle where you can enjoy a variety of activities. We are already planning a fall trip to the area and we will definitely stay here anytime we are visiting the Erie area. read less

We booked a one night stay in the Nursery. A two bed room with a private bath steps away. We were greeted by Steve and given a short history of the house. We had access to two rooms on the ground floor as well as the front porch where you can meet other guests. The bathroom was close and equipped with a nice tub, a window, and a pull-chain flusher (not seen since I was a kid quite a few years ago). Our room was spacious and bright and reasonably priced. The internet was good as was the cable.
Breakfast the next morning was nice. I couldn't have done better myself. Steve waited on us like we were respected guests. Lisa prepared a nice meal. Also nice background music while we ate.
I couldn't get over the feeling that we were staying in a museum or the home of a rich old relative. It was a nice feeling. Should we come back to Erie we will stay here again and in the meantime recommend to all we know. Their covid precautions were part of why we felt so comfortable. Thanks to Steve and Lisa. We wish you the best.
