My name is Ken Moore, and my wife Debbie and I have lived in our great City of Niagara Falls all our lives. Debbie and I have been married 43 years and first dated in high school. I have recently retired from the Niagara Falls Fire Department after 36 1/2 years of service. Our Cottage Lodge boasts as one of the most fire safe properties in Niagara, and we pride ourselves in keeping our guest safe during their stay. We also support MADD and will arrange guest transportation and will even personally shuttle our guests if required. Debbie has put a ‘lady’s touch’ in the Cottage Lodge to give it the feel of ‘ home away from home’ and have had repeat guests, sports groups, families, and groups of all types from around the world return for over 25 years. Debbie will also arrange special home cooked meal package(s) should you want to take a break from the kitchen at any time during your stay. Living in Niagara our entire lives, has enabled us to prioritize the venues we feel our guests would appreciate most. We can create a ‘one stop shopping’ experience for our guests and assist in arranging an itinerary with virtually no wasted trial by error visits during your stay. We have many life experiences in Niagara, and have visited most eateries, attractions, golf courses, night clubs, etc. and if you visit Tourism Niagara’s website we can further assist with your itinerary if you wish. We cater to all age groups and many of our guests have first visited us for their bachelor and bachelorette parties, and return for many years later with their co-workers, families, for anniversaries and Christmas and New Years celebrations, etc. Many years ago, Debbie, myself, our 2 children Adam and Jessica visited a dude ranch in Wickenburg Arizona and from that experience we always felt we could duplicate the the great ‘homey’ feel but in a Niagara Falls environment. We feel this is the key to our existence and our groups have been returning for over 25 years, the same as at the dude ranch.
Our property is located virtually a 5 minute drive from the most attractions, casinos, The Falls, and access to the QEW, 420, and Highway 20 is only a block away. The Cottage Lodge is a 150 year old plus rural home and is located on a private 1 acre estate setting on the 18th tee of the golf course next door. We are only the 3rd owner of this 200 year old property which began as one of Niagara’s first dairy farms. The original homestead has 7 big bedrooms with a total of 13 queen sized beds, large kitchen, living room, games room and a laundry room if required for our guests. The 3 car garage has been converted to games room with pool table, sports screens, kitchenette, and is equipped with 5 double futon bunk beds and a 3 piece bath for your comfort. The tack building has been totally refurbished and converted into an upper B&B style loft with 2 bedrooms , kitchenette, 4 piece bath and living area with beer fridge and satellite sports TV. The lower loft area also has 2 bedrooms and kitchenette, common games room with pool table, sports screen, and wet bar, as well as a 3 piece bath. Debbie prepared all the bedding , window accents, and again gives you that home setting appeal. Our Cottage Lodge is well known locally, and many families arrange wedding party stays, family reunions with guests from all over North America, and even local funerals where loved ones can congregate in a ‘home away from home’ environment. Again, this property is conveniently located a short walk or ride from restaurants, indoor water park, spa facilities, groceries, walking paths that take you throughout the Niagara, factory outlet mall, and the largest new mall in Ontario complete with a Bass Pro store you can actually go sport fishing at. Adam is actively involved in assisting our guests with their itinerary and is an avid golfer and can arrange packages at most of the Niagara Area Courses. During your stay we can arrange ‘complimentary pizza’ nites at our friend’s ‘Molson’s’ sports bar.
