This beautiful old Mans has a lot of charm to offer the visitor and breakfast was delicious!We were given a tour of the home when we arrived that included a brief history of the home and its occupants. The craftsmanship and style of the place is very much in character with this magnificent old home. A most relaxing and enjoyable stay. read less

We were greeted by Steve, and given some history of the house, which we greatly enjoyed. The house is stunning! Such beautiful woodwork and detail. They are being very responsible with Covid, taking many precautions, which we very much appreciated. We stayed in the Spencer Suite, which was quite large and very comfortable on the 3rd floor. We visit many B&B's up and down the East coast and Canada and I must say that this was one of my favorite breakfasts!!! The variety served is exceptional, even better is how great it all tastes. Highly recommend, we will be back!!!! read less

Steve and Lisa are doing an incredible job running this bed and breakfast! They are so friendly, helpful and clean! I have eaten some of the very best breakfast food I have had in my life here. The rooms have little journals in them for guests to write in (an extremely thoughtful touch!) I enjoyed reading all of the entries from people who traveled from all over! We stayed in The Nanny’s room. It is one of the smallest rooms but it has its own private hallway with a curtain you can close and the bathroom is just off the end of the hallway so it IS private! Beyond that, the house is incredible. Between the old school wood-work, antique furniture, and pictures of William and Mary throughout the house- it gives it that 1800’s feel- even the breakfast food made you feel like you went back in time just a bit with sitting in their beautiful dining room. Did I mention they are super clean? That was a BIG part in us enjoying our stay during covid. They even were able to accommodate us for an extra night last minute 🥰 we will be returning and with other guests to also enjoy this place. It was well worth the 5 1/2 hour drive! Please stay here, please recommend to as many people as you can because we would have stayed for a month or longer if we could, it really is that amazing☺️ thank you for everything and all the hospitality Steve and Lisa! We will not be forgetting this trip, which you helped to make so so very special for us ❤️ read less

Steve and Lisa were so nice and we even got to meet their dog Bailey which added the cherry on top of our trip! They were also able to accommodate our diet needs as we are vegan and gluten free, which was amazing. Pancakes, parfaits and the potatoes were so delicious. We will be returning and we highly recommend this B&B for anyone visiting Erie! read less

Had a WONDERFUL experience at the Spencer House B&B! Our room was beautiful and spacious, and Steve and Lisa were incredibly welcoming. We hope to return soon!

The house is sooooo magical!!!
The mattresses are so comfortable!!!!
The hosts, Steve and Lisa, are great cooks and think of everything!

Cleanliness. The house was clean, well kept, and they followed Covid protocols.

Room. The Spencer Suite was on the third floor. It was very spacious. Plenty of room to relax, not just sleep. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. The room was also very quiet.

Location. The house is about a 15 minute walk to Perry Square where you can find some bars and restaurants.

Breakfast. The best part of our stay were the breakfasts. The portions were generous. The food has hearty and delicious.

We will be back! read less

The place was not only cozy but kept meticulously clean. We felt very comfortable staying there in the midst of the COVID pandemic. They take extra precautions to keep their guests as safe as possible which was greatly appreciated. The breakfasts were very good and both Lisa and Steve were very attentive to our needs. Christmas was a beautiful time to be there as they decorated the house to the hilt complete with a very large live tree in the front foyer. This visit was a wedding gift from some relatives but we will definitely consider staying there again during future visits to Erie. read less

Cannot wait to return and explore more of the house. read less

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

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

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.

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.

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
