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 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!
