Bed and Breakfast Alternative to Hotel Lodging near Lake Erie in PA (2024)

PLEASE NOTE: All guest rooms are on the second or third floor and there is no elevator.

Second Floor Rooms

The President’s Suite

This spacious room on the 2nd floor was the original master bedroom of the house. However, there was a time when William Spencer’s uncle inhabited this room. He was a Civil War veteran, and due to a war injury, could not be exposed to sunlight. A wardrobe was built over the bay window in the room and was not removed until 1991 when the windows were exposed again. The bathroom is also not exactly original—it was once a closet. The bath with tub and shower was built in the 1920s for Mrs. Spencer. The fixtures and tile are original. This room offers a king-size 4-poster cherry bed, non-working fireplace, seating area and a large flat-screen TV with Roku streaming device.

Mary’s Room

Mary’s Room is named for William Spencer’s wife, Mary Dupuy. We don’t know if she kept a separate room, but if she did, this hand-carved 1880s antique queen bed would have been inviting and comfortable. A matching dresser and an embroidered chair complete the furnishings. Two floor-to-ceiling windows look out onto the front and provide plenty of natural light. Two former closets now serve as a private en-suite bathroom.

The room is located on a private hallway (for the room and bathroom only) that is lined in exposed original brickwork and is where the private bathroom, featuring a clawfoot tub with shower, is located.

Third Floor Rooms

The Spencer Suite

This large 3rd-floor room was probably used by the head of the household staff. In the 1920s, an in-room bathroom was added, and in the 1940’s, this room served as one of the master bedrooms. The original marble sink, a lovely window seat, and nice sitting area provide you with plenty of space for your comfort.
