The breakfast was hardy and the innkeepers made sure we had anything we needed to make our stay comfortable – they were very thoughtful. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. And the bed in the President's suite! My wife said it was the comfortable bed she's ever slept in her life. read less

The house itself is lovely, clean, and inviting. Our rooms, especially the suites were spacious and the beds were heavenly. As a family, we greatly appreciated the flexibility we had to come together in the parlor and library, we appreciated how accommodating they were to have a group. We already booked 2 rooms in July - cant wait to go back. read less

The rooms are very comfortable and breakfasts are delicious. Steve and Lisa have given me many good restaurant suggestions for dinners. Don’t hesitate to ask them. They are very helpful. I would highly recommend this for families traveling, business people and especially couples looking to get away. The mansion is like stepping back in time and is always beautifully decorated for each occasion/holiday. The only reason to stay in a hotel in Erie, PA is if the Spencer House is fully booked. Don’t miss this gem in Erie. read less

We stayed in the Presidential room, which was spacious and included a comfy couch which was nice for relaxing. The bed was very comfortable, too. The hosts were available, friendly, and professional. Little touches were nice, such as mini-candies in the room and a variety of tea bags. Breakfast was substantial and very good! We very much enjoyed chatting with our hosts. Highly recommend. read less

Our room was smallish but fancy and comfortable. We had a private, picturesque, old-fashioned bathroom with a clawfoot tub, but it and our room had separate doors off the end of a hallway. A curtain hid that part of the hallway so that we had some privacy on our way to and from the bathroom. There was a tray of tea and chocolate for us, and a nice breakfast in the morning. Guests were expected to wear masks in common areas except while seated for breakfast, but the hosts did not wear masks.
The B&B is on a street lined with magnificent old homes, worth strolling past and taking photos of. It's within walking distance of downtown restaurants and bars too, though parts of downtown seemed a bit sketchy. read less

This was our first time at a Bed and Breakfast and we truly had a wonderful time there. The old Victorian house is located in the historic district right down the road from Gannon Univ. The house is gorgeous, very clean, spacious and well kept. The owners were very inviting, pleasant and accommodating. They made us feel at home as soon as we stepped foot in the house. Breakfast was included in our stay and the owners themselves served us a delightful and full plate of great food each morning that we were there. We stayed in “Nanny’s room” tucked away in a corner of the 2nd floor. Our bed was very comfortable and our room temp was always comfortable. We had a private bathroom which was so spacious with a beautiful claw foot tub. I can’t say enough of this place. I loved it and we absolutely will be back next year for sure. read less

Delicious cinamon chip pancakes

Steve and Lisa were very kind hosts and wonderful cooks.
The front porch is a fun place to have dessert each night .
Also little bonus, bottled water and drinks as well as coffee and tea.
Thank you for a great stay!

This one, I don't want to say felt uncomfortable, but the owners are a little more tightly wound than your typical B&B owner. In the email regarding check-in, it asks - reasonably for certain - that if you are not vaccinated, to wear a mask; they indicate they will wear one if asked. So, upon our arrival, thinking it would put them at ease, I told them we were vaccinated. The reply was "Well, obviously, or you'd be wearing a mask.". I expected more of an "I appreciate you letting me know.". When we were shown our room, we were told not to use the pillows with the pillow shams; well then, take them out of the rooms. The internet is sporadic, at best & it is not a short walk to restaurants. There is one about a mile away, the others all require a vehicle. The breakfast was o.k. The owners seemed to know little of the area, when we asked some questions, the reply was "We aren't from here originally so don't know.". Another couple staying here also had concerns about the hosts' attitude. Beautiful building, seemingly disinterested owners. read less

Steven and Lisa welcomed us with open arms, a gorgeous environment, and a fabulous breakfast!! They thought of everything to make us feel welcome. There were little chocolates in a bowl on our dresser, a water cooler with cold and hot water for the coffee and tea they provided in our room, they had disposable tableware on the dresser in case we came back with a late night snack, they had maps and other information on the local sites. Steven even helped us find the best place to view the sunset on Presque Isle (although the weather didn't cooperate with providing us with a sunset). The breakfast the next morning was AMAZING!! Steven and Lisa love to cook, and it showed! We thoroughly enjoyed meeting Steven and Lisa, hearing about the history of their beautiful B & B, and getting spoiled by them!! Thank you so very much for making us feel so special, Steven and Lisa! read less

They even accommodated our special requests for a delicious breakfast. We got lucky and were able to book a room that someone else had cancelled at the last minute. Keep checking the website to see if something frees up!We really enjoyed hearing the history of the Spencer House when Steve gave us the arrival tour.The location is convenient to everything in downtown Erie. We took a 15 minute walk to dinner, across the college campus and to millennium Park.The room (Spencer Suite) was SUPER comfortable and the bed felt like sleeping on a cloud. Best nights of sleep we had in quite some time. Only thing we would have liked to see added was a Keurig or small coffee pot in the room.A great experience in all and would recommend it to anyone traveling to Erie. read less
