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.

My sister and friend stayed here at the end of June. The house was very clean and organized. We weren't able to grill out, but Glee was notified of the issue with the grill. It's not too far from the beach and located in a nice neighborhood. Overall, very nice place! Thanks, Glee!
