About this property

The Historic Bootlegger Barrel House At Whisky Run Golf Club In Port Colborne

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 and 2 single beds. Plus an additional pull out couch in each sitting area allows more than 10 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.

About the host

Hosted by Monica Nieuwland

Host profile image
Lou & Maribeth have always lived in the Niagara area and dated in high school 50 years ago. They've raised 4 children in the area. Three are very involved in the family business.....Whisky Run Golf Club.

Why they chose this property

The property (45 acres) was purchased in 1992 to add another 9 holes to the existing golf course, which opened in 1989. This new addition was named the Serpent Nine and opened for play in 1998. The farmhouse onsite was recently renovated and renamed the Barrelhouse

What makes this property unique

This home is located in a rural and very quiet area; has some great walking trails nearby, and is only 500 yards from a nice beach on Lake Erie. Downtown Port Colborne and the Welland Canal are only a few minutes away. The back yard; with a great view of the golf course, is the perfect place to unwind and relax.
