Explorer House Bed & Breakfast - A luxury 4-star B&B with private balconies, jetted tubs, and landscaped gardens near Queen Street

Set on a peaceful cul-de-sac near parklands, this intimate Niagara-on-the-Lake hotel provides a tranquil retreat 15 minutes' walk from Queen Street. Explorer House Bed & Breakfast features suites equipped with king-size beds, private balconies, and en-suite bathrooms with separate jetted tubs and showers. Each accommodation includes a fireplace, 42-inch flat-screen TV, and spa robes. The morning begins with fresh-baked goods like muffins and scones served with homemade preserves, followed by house-made granola, fresh fruit, and yogurt. Hot breakfast options include bacon gruyere ham strata, vegetable frittata, or chai-spiced French toast accompanied by bacon or sausage. Explorer House sits within walking distance of multiple dining venues, including Butler's Bar and Grill, Backhouse Restaurant, and Willow Cakes & Pastries (all 0.5 miles away). Key attractions within 1-1 mile include the Memorial Clock Tower, Native Art Gallery, Fort George National Historic Site, and Queen's Royal Park.

Pros

Located on a quiet cul-de-sac away from tourist crowds

Within 1640.4 ft of multiple restaurants and cafes

Complimentary multi-course breakfast with daily-baked goods

Landscaped grounds with garden furniture for outdoor relaxation

Cons

52.5 miles from John C. Munro Airport

No on-site restaurant for lunch or dinner service

“The meticulous updates to this adults-only B&B create spacious suites, each with private balconies overlooking manicured gardens; I especially appreciate the focus on offering distinct wine and culinary experiences, not just a place to sleep. It feels more like a small inn, with luxurious touches like en-suite baths and fireplaces, that make it perfect for couples looking for both relaxation and local exploration. A gourmet breakfast and proximity to Niagara-on-the-Lake's attractions round out a truly special stay.”
