Our friends had recommended a different B&B in Erie - however based on the pictures mainly from TA we opted to give this a try. Also - we stayed here over the 4th of July and their rates were extremely reasonable. This place is right on mansion row (I might have just made that up) in Erie. Not too much... More

We've stayed at a good number of b&b's - this one was nice but not the best. As many others have stated, the owners were not available when we checked in but they cover all bases for a painless check in. Very detailed notes and instructions. The main floor is very tastefully decorated to the period of the home. We... More

This is a great alternative to the busy expensive hotels in the Erie area. The staff at Boothy make you feel at home and will serve you a scrumptious healthy breakfast in their beautifully appointed dining room. When weather permits, they will serve you outside on the patio. They allowed us to leave our bags before check in so we... More

We had traveled for over a week. This was our last night before going home. It was the best accommodation we had. Funny thing is that we all wanted to stay longer, but couldn't! The food was great, the beds ultra comfy, close to the shore of Lake Erie... beautifully done!

We returned to the Boothby Inn for a short trip to Erie with friends. This time we stayed in Japan and found the room to be very comfortable with soothing colors and comfortable bedding. After a fun filled day at Presque Isle we all headed for the porch for a nice glass of wine before dinner. It was delightful. Wally... More

The Boothby Inn is a lovely Victorian mansion that has been converted into a B&B. Although we had very little contact with the owners due to a family commitment at the time of our stay, they thought of everything we might need ahead of time and left specific notes and instructions. Our room (Scotland) was beautiful, and the guest galley... More

This is truly a wonderful place to stay! Where do we begin when raving about the Knoxes' marvelous bed and breakfast? Boothby Inn certainly deserves all of its great reviews. Gloria and Wally (the owners) go above and beyond to make their guests feel special. We look forward to coming back and staying longer next time.

I stayed overnight in the Africa Room on a recent visit. Gloria and Wally were gracious and accommodating hosts. The house is gorgeous and well-situated in relation to the downtown. The room was extremely clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, and I appreciated that the hosts accepted my request for a simple menu. There's absolutely nothing not to like about... More

Gorgeous 100 yr old house on "millionaires row" completely restored 10 years ago by present owners and is in immaculate condition. I stayed in the Japan room, very tastefully decorated with Japanese prints, photos, screens, and ceramic figures. Down the hall from the sleeping rooms is a small but spacious room with magazines, snacks, soda and other beverages. This room... More

This house is lovely, as it should be for the rates they charge. Also, because of the rate, I am being more critical than usual. We chose the French room, as it appeared to be the most elegant. Unfortunately, the bathroom sink's hot water wouldn't turn off and the bidet's hot water wouldn't turn on. I didn't appreciate that blast... More
