Company info

After many years of visiting, researching and learning about Bed and Breakfasts from other innkeepers, Steve and Lisa purchased Spencer House in August 2018 as the culmination of their longtime dream to have their own Bed and Breakfast. While Lisa has over 20 years of experience cooking in restaraunts and for a church day care, Steve, whose experience is in management, also is quite the cook as well and together make a great team providing guests with quality service and great food. From their first visit they fell in love with the great detail that exists in every part of the B&B and enjoy sharing this beautiful home with their guests while helping to maintain this elegant piece of history for many years to come. It is our goal to provide a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere so that you can get maximum enjoyment from your time in Erie, Pa.
