Adorable Gem House in the Gem City!

Gem House

Gem House is a great spot to discover all that Erie has to offer. With its proximity to Mercyhurst University, Gannon University Penn State Behrend, and LECOM, Gem House is a perfect spot to stay while visiting a local student or the surrounding attractions. The house is centrally located with easy access to Presque Isle, Waldameer, the Erie Zoo, downtown Erie, and Millcreek Mall. With so much to see and do, you’ll soon see why Erie is also known as the “Gem City.”

While Gem House can sleep 6, it is ideal for couples, small families, or a group of 3 or 4 friends, as it is a cozy, little Cape Cod home.

It was a clean, cozy gem

The house is located near "everything." It was clean upon arrival and the backyard is big enough to enjoy (let the kids play). The beds are comfortable and the washer and dryer work well.

Wonderful stay

We truly enjoyed our holiday week at the house. The location is great, close to shops and activities. We found a new favorite game from their supplied games. The hosts are very responsive, we had one minor issue with a damaged pot and they had a new full set delivered samw day. We would definitely stay again!
