Explorer House Guidelines and Procedures

A credit card (VISA or MasterCard) is required to guarantee your reservation.

A $35 cleaning fee applies per room per stay.

All suites sleep a maximum of two (2) guests. We do not accept guests under the age of 16.

Smoking is NOT permitted anywhere on the property.

For the comfort of all guests, guest facilities are reserved for registered guests that are staying with us. 

As a small business with just three guest suites to offer, it is imperative that we both protect our business and make sure that we can offer our services to our guests.

The credit card used to hold the reservation will be charged the full amount of the reservation 14 days prior to scheduled arrival and when the full B&B (all 3 rooms) is reserved the credit card used to hold the reservation will be charged the full amount of the reservation 30 days prior to scheduled arrival. This is non refundable and non transferable to another date and no credit will be issued unless we are able to rebook the room(s). This is applicable to no-shows as well. Please be aware of this policy when booking your stay, please note this policy applies to direct bookings only.

For reservations made via an on-line booking agency (Booking.com, Expedia, etc.) the credit card used to hold the reservation will be charged the full amount of the reservation at the time of booking. Cancellations 31 days or more prior to scheduled arrival result in no cancellation charges. Cancellations 30 days or less prior to scheduled arrival are non-refundable and non-transferable to another date and no credit will be issued. This is applicable to no-shows as well.

We strongly encourage our guests to have travel insurance as all cancellation policies will be adhered to no matter the reason for cancellation. Guests MUST send us an email requesting a cancellation which then authorizes us to release and try and resell the room.   No verbal requests will be accepted.

Check-in is between 3-6 pm. If you are delayed, please call to confirm time of arrival.

Check-out is 10:30 am.

During high season a two-night stay minimum is required. We open up dates to single night stays when we have stranded nights.

Pets are not permitted in our guests’ rooms or in any guest area. If you are traveling with your pet, our resident cat Darwin (who you won’t see in any of the guest areas) is happy to recommend a local pet-only bed and breakfast for your furry friend(s).
