We very much enjoyed staying here. The proprietors are friendly and responsive. Amenities were excellent; breakfast was wonderful. One of the best parts was talking to the owners; it quickly became evident why they call it "Explorer House." The house only has three rooms and you are seated together for breakfast, enhancing the experience one gets with a true B&B. Cannot recommend this one enough.

This place is definitely top shelf! If I was ever going to go into the bed and breakfast industry Explorer House would be the standard I would shoot for. Our host was very responsive and greeted us at the door with a smile. The building and the grounds are impeccable and you can see they've done a huge amount of work to make this place so beautiful. Explorer House is just a hop skip and a jump from downtown and close enough you could almost walk to the Shaw festival if you chose to. The room was beautifully decorated ( we were in the Serengeti room) and everything again was super clean well appointed I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a high quality bed and breakfast experience. The breakfast was wonderful we really enjoyed it it was tasty and came with four different courses.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Explorer House. The innkeepers, Deanna and Alec Bishop were fantastic. Each morning we had a 3 course fabulous breakfast, typically including home baked muffins or scones, a fruit bowl with locally grown fruits of strawberries, blueberries, etc., and an egg dish each excellent. The dish and utensil setup each morning was a unique and clever mix of items from around the world. Deanna was a veritable encyclopedia of what to do, where to go and how best to plan each day. The room was lovely, spacious and fully equipped. There were several common areas both inside and out to relax and enjoy our time. We would strongly recommend Explorer House to anyone planning a visit to Niagara on the Lake!!

Our stay at Explorer House was wonderful. The innkeepers, Deanna and Alec Bishop were fantastic. Each morning we were treated to a fabulous 3 course breakfast consisting of home made fresh baked breads such as muffins or scones, a fruit dish using locally grown fruits along with granola and you hurt and a unique dish, such as eggs Benedict with avocado… scrumptious. There was also a creative table setting each morning with dishware and eating accoutrements from all over the world. Deanna was a veritable encyclopedia of what to do where to go and how to get there. Our room was lovely and very comfortable, with indoor and outdoor common areas to relax have a drink, read or simply enjoy the lovely environment. If you’re traveling to the lovely town of Niagara on the Lake we would highly recommend the Explorer House

We were looking for a little get-away and Explorer House provided us with a clean and safe jumping off place. Starting the day with terrific brunches, created and served by our hosts, Deanna and Alec, we were nourished until dinner. Deanna answered all our questions on recommended places to shop and relax and all proved out to be excellent. Yes, we highly recommend Explorer House to anyone looking for a great place to stay.

We came as a couple to NOTL for a wine tour and stayed at the Explorer House, mid July. This place is amazing, I'd definitely stay here again. Everything is extremely clean and well kept. You can tell the hosts are meticulous and care about their property. They are well organized and made us feel at home. Nice big bathroom attached to our room. Comfortable king size bed. There is a common area with everything you may need for the stay, fridge, dishes, glasses, coffee, cutlery, etc... The backyard has a large space available to us, with a comfortable sitting area and a hot tub. The landscaping is gorgeous. On top of all of that, the breakfast part of this B&B is amazing. The eggs benedict are the best I ever had. The explorer theme is all across the house, with professional photos taken by the host of all sorts of sceneries from other countries. Amazing place!

This property a house in a residential area which is home to a retired couple who the run the business side themselves. The property is tastefully decorated based on the owners' world travels and the artwork was impressive. The condition of the facilities was good. The room we reserved included a jacuzzi bathtub and door opening to a back deck. The location is walking distance from old town Niagara Falls. The room was clean and the Wifi was robust. A food basket is delivered to your door at 9am. Check-out is at 10:30am. This is not a hotel / motel and lacks more practical amenities for similarly priced lodging. You have to muscle any heavy luggage up 2 flights of stairs as there is no elevator. The shared outdoor spa is not large enough for more than 2 adults. You may not bring guests without approval of the owners. Food must be ordered the day before or you don't eat (even though you paid for it). Privacy is a concern because, from the hallway, we could hear another couple... well... we could hear them... and they were not loud. The ugly part of our stay is how the owners treated my girlfriend. I didn't bother with the food order as we changed our departure time. She asked about some breakfast on our departure and owner's response was very rude... "we didn't get our order in". They could have easily accommodated us, but instead made it a negative experience. We scrambled to check out as soon as possible and, ate at Tim Hortons and decided never to return.

This place is amazing from check in to check out and floor to ceiling. They thought of every detail. Last time we stayed pre COVID we joined other guests in the dining room for a delicious homemade breakfast. This time we got the same homemade breakfast to enjoy in a private space done beautifully in a picnic basket. This will be the only place we ever stay when we visit NOTL.
