This was not a Bed and Breakfast. It was only a "bed". We never once saw a host or anyone for that matter. It was strictly self-serve, which is fine, but it should have been made clear that there were no breakfast options. Their webpage showed all these delicious meals, which is very misleading.

My wife and I stayed over the Easter weekend and was warmly greeted by Deanna. I saw pictures on the Google maps and Expedia page but to step into it is something to behold! Everything was carefully curated to the finest detail, capturing the theme of the Safari. The bed was comfortable, and there’s a balcony for some casual reading. And although we didn’t enjoy the outdoor hot tub, but there’s one inside the room with all the amenities for a great experience. We chose breakfast on the day we left and was treated to a delicious breakfast, again with beautiful decor surrounding us and details to the napkin with the dragonfly. My favourite was the eggs Benedict! We left very grateful for this weekend getaway!

The Explorer House was an absolutely beautiful place to stay! The owners , Deanna and Alec, were more than accommodating. Their attention to detail makes it an extra special experience. The breakfast every morning is exceptional. (Make sure to bring an appetite!) we went during a snow storm, so we utilized Uber for transportation, but in the warmers months, it’s an easy walk into the historical town with lots of shopping and places to eat. 10/10 recommended and would definitely come back again !

Everything is fantastic. The host is really friendly and kind, plus the room interior is uniquely designed yet well-balanced. This is a place to take a good rest, however, it's better to drive a car here.

A Gem of a Property

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.

Very welcoming and comfortable B&B. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms are separate from the rest of the house along with a mini kitchenette and lounge area for the guests. Breakfast was served in the dining room and was phenomenal! I highly recommend this B & B for your next Niagara visit.
