One less thing to figure out before your next getaway: who's watching the dog?

At Explorer, your pup is welcome to join the trip! Whether you're getting the family together for a weekend in Sandusky, planning a fall escape, or just looking for a change of scenery, you don't have to leave your four-legged family member behind.

With comfortable rooms, easy keyless check-in, and plenty to explore around Lake Erie, we've got a great spot for you and your favorite travel companion!

Traveling with family or a group? We know how important it is to find a space that works for everyone.

We offer two ground-floor, ADA-accessible room options designed to make your stay comfortable and convenient.

Our King Executive Suite sleeps up to six and includes a kitchenette, while our Explorer Deluxe Studio features three queen beds and a zero-entry shower.

You can book both options directly through our website by selecting the ADA option. And if you have questions about the layout or accessibility features, we're always happy to help you find the right fit before you arrive!

Some people come to Sandusky for the roller coasters. Others come for the lake, sports tournaments, or outdoor adventures with their four-legged best friend.

Whatever brings you here, we think every great adventure deserves an equally great place to rest.

That's where we come in!

Spend your days doing what you love, then come back to comfortable beds, thoughtful amenities, and plenty of space to recharge before doing it all over again.

You pick the recreation. We've got the rest covered.

So tell us, what's your kind of Sandusky adventure?

Your friend just finished a long day at Cedar Point and texts you, "Where should we eat?"

Which Sandusky-area restaurant are you sending them to, and what should they order?

Our guests ask us this all the time, so your answers might make it onto our list!

Tournament season doesn't stop when the temperatures drop!

The outdoor fields may be winding down, but the indoor courts and track at Cedar Point Sports Center keep the competition going all winter long. And with Explorer just about 2 minutes down the street, your team won't have far to go after a full day of games.

We have room for the whole crew, free parking for the team caravan, EV charging, and group and package rates for qualifying stays. Everything you need to make tournament travel a little easier!

The leaves are changing, the air is getting cooler, and Sandusky is officially settling into fall! 🍂

October is the perfect excuse for a weekend away. Spend the day exploring, take in the fall colors, grab something good to eat, then head back to Explorer for a cozy evening around the fire with your favorite people.

No packed summer schedule. No rushing from one thing to the next. Just crisp fall days, cool nights, and a little time away before the season passes by.

Your cozy fall getaway awaits: https://explorerlodge.com/

The hardest part of a group trip should be finding a weekend everyone is actually free.

Once you figure that out, Explorer makes the rest much easier.

With room layouts that sleep up to 8 people, your family, friend group, team, or company crew can stay together instead of scattering across different rooms and hotels.

Add outdoor spaces for hanging out, easy keyless check-in, a great Sandusky location, and group and package rates, and you’ve got a stay designed for group travel!

From screaming your way through Halloweekends and spending an afternoon apple-picking to slowing down with a cozy night around the fire, there’s a lot to squeeze into fall around Sandusky!
