About this farm stay rental
Once the site of a rum running operation, the Bootlegger Barrel House is a historic farm house located at Whisky Run Golf Club. Relax & BBQ on the private deck of this 4 bedroom home while overlooking the 18th green.
A large kitchen and dining area on the main floor opens to the back deck and features modern cupboards and appliances. If you don't feel like cooking, the Bootlegger Bistro provides lunch and dinner, and is located in the fully licensed clubhouse, right across the road.
Each floor of the house has a sitting room with flat screen TV, a bathroom and 2 bedrooms with king beds. A pull out couch in each sitting area allows up to 12 people to sleep comfortably.
One km. south could have you swimming in Lake Erie, and one km. north gets you biking on Niagara's Friendship Trail. Or you can enjoy golfing on 27 scenic holes right in your back yard.
A five minute drive has you in downtown Port Colborne and Historic West Street: where you can wine and dine, while watching the ships sail through the Welland Canal. Safari Niagara is 15 minutes away, and Niagara Falls, plus many of Niagara's favorite wineries are within a half hour by car.

Loved that the house was on the golf course! Was able to eat across the street at the club.
Lou stopped by to make sure everything was good!
House was clean. Traveled with a one year old so they were able to take over the top floor because it had its own "living space" and bathroom.
Would recommend.

We absolutely loved staying at The Barrel House! The house was immaculately clean, very spacious and very comfortable. The back deck and covered front veranda were both perfect places to sit and enjoy the gorgeous views surrounding us. Out back it was fun to watch the golfers go by at Whiskey Run Golf Course. Ten out of ten recommend staying here!

We stayed at the Barrel House to attend our daughter's wedding at a venue close by. The house was perfect for all of our needs. Spacious, clean and very comfortable. The host was very accommodating of our needs. Lou even stopped by Sunday morning to see how the wedding went! I would highly recommend this property!

We stayed at The Barrel House for 2 nights because our daughter was marrying at Maple Meadows on Sept 1.
The bride and her bridesmaids stayed with us and enjoyed having their own space on the 2nd floor.
Our only complaint would be that we could not make the coffee maker work!!! We all tried and then gave up and went to Tim Hortons.

A short notice wedding elopement had myself and a few family members searching quickly for a place to stay! This was the first time ever in Canada cor all of us. Thankfully this property was available short notice and met all our necessary requirements! We had 6 adults and 5 children comfortably stay at this home! Everyone had their own beds and plenty of space. Our children loved the back deck and being able to watch golfers go by. The adults loved the peaceful location and how it was not far from major places.
The property was immaculate, golf course in amazing condition, and was truly a beautiful location. We loved seeing the barn cats and my children enjoyed leaving them a plate of breakfast each morning. Someone from staff even left a thoughtful note and signed it from the cats. Our children thought it was magical!
We all agreed we would love to travel to Canada again to stay at the property again!

We really enjoyed the home. Room on ground floor for one family member with walker to get around. Non-golfers enjoyed the scenery and watching the golfers from the back deck.

Hidden gem!
The Barrel House was fantastic, reminding us of the beauty that comes with an older home and surrounding area! Golf course in the backyard and seeing the deer was an added bonus! Lou was very responsive!

Perfect space for a few families
We needed a weekend away with some friends and this cottage was perfect! It’s nice and large and immaculate. There was some drafts so some space heaters would have been nice, however we bundled up and made the best! The beds were all super comfy! The kitchen had every gadget we could have ever needed. The cottage is dated but suited the home. We will stay here again for sure! The host was excellent at quick replies!

Family weekend
We are a family of 6 adults and 2 babies. The upstairs was great for the family with the babies. Nice course for the golfers in our group. We were close enough to go to Niagara Falls for an afternoon and also visit Niagara on The Lake and a few wineries. Our hosts and the course worker we very pleasant and friendly. Very enjoyable family time.

Excellent for golfers.
We had an excellent, quiet time at Bootlegger. The house and property are plenty big and we were all surprised at the size of every room. The house had all the necessities for a comfortable stay. Port Colborne was less than a 10 min drive should you need to pick up any groceries or ice cream.
Waterfront and beaches - 10 mins away. Excellent location.
Would definitely recommend.
Lou and Maribeth are excellent hosts and were never too far away for questions.
We all had a relaxing vacation.
Thanks Lou and Maribeth

We enjoyed the farm house. It was very clean with all cooking needs were available in the kitchen. Not many extra’s, but all basics met...An information binder with a few restaurant recommendations or things to do in the surrounding area would have been helpful. Beds were very comfortable and clean. Enjoyed sitting on the back porch watching the sun set, and the golfers at their game. Communication was friendly and all questions answered.Would recommend this property to all interested in golfing or just enjoying the area for a few days. A great place to cycle the Friendship Trail and the Welland Canal!

I myself have come down for a golf weekend at whisky run for several years. Our group of 8 (that has changed a little over the years) has ALWAYS had a fantastic time. Course is maintained , staff is friendly and prompt when needed. The house is great!! We again loved our stay and look forward to our golf weekend next year. 🍻�

Excellent family vacation
We had a great time – our family and my sister’s family together.
The house is big, clean, very convenient for 2 families(4 adults and 4 kids and still more sleeping spaces)
The kitchen-dining-living areas are huge.
Girls enjoyed outdoors playing ball games as well as free WiFi and my husband said Whiskey Run Golf course is the best he played at!
The beach is near by – clean , with perfect sand and warm water.
The check in – check out process was very easy.
Thanks a lot for home owners for taking care of us in such a warm and welcoming manner.
I will definitely recommend this place !

Book an extra night
there is so much to do at the Whisky and lots to discover in neighbouring towns. cant wait to return again to see all the friendly faces. it really is the friendliest golf course ive ever seen anywhere. not just the staff but all the people who come there are wonderful. no high pressure golfers pushing you. the course is maintained to the standards of private courses so enjoy.

Hidden Gem
The facilities at your doorstep are mind blowing. 27 holes, frisbee golf, soccer golf i noticed this year. Great restaurant and family friendly service. Then just a short bike or walk away is the picturesque and friendly towns of Port Colborne and Welland. So much to do so little time. be back soon

Dream House!
The Bootlegger Barrel Inn house 11 of us over the course of 3 days as we prepared for then utterly enjoyed our youngest daughter's wedding at the equally wonderful Maple Meadows Farm on the southern edge of the Whiskey Run Golf Course. The hosts are kind and gracious and comlpetely fair in their method of charging for a changing number of guests. and changing arrival times. The house looks like Anne's "Green Gables" house, is perfectly equipped in every room, Its huge kitchen has everything a family could need and looks west over a rolling and treed stretch of the golf course. Every room is beautiful, large and airy, and the 2 king size beds are heavenly. We wanted to hitch the whole place to our cars and tow it away with us. It can easily sleep 14 people very comfortably. Lou and Marybeth have thought of everything for their guests' comfort. And the lake is a pleasant walk down to the end of the road.
