Nestled within the embracing arms of Georgian Bluffs, TGIF Cottage offers an idyllic retreat in the picturesque setting of Colpoy's Bay. This charming area, with its rich history and natural beauty, is a treasure trove of recreational opportunities and serene landscapes that beckon visitors to explore and enjoy.

Colpoy's Bay, a scenic offshoot of Georgian Bay, forms a serene backdrop to the TGIF Cottage. The area is steeped in history, with the village of Colpoy's Bay itself named after the esteemed British Navy admiral, Sir John Colpoys. The spirit of the early settlers, who ventured north of Colpoy's Bay in 1857, is still palpable in the thriving community that has since emerged. The establishment of saw and grist mills and the bustling wharf facilities of yesteryears have given way to a serene recreational area, where the past and present merge seamlessly.

Today, visitors to Colpoy's Bay can revel in a variety of outdoor activities. The public dock serves as a gateway to the tranquil waters, inviting boating enthusiasts and fishermen alike to indulge in their passions. Tennis courts provide the perfect venue for friendly matches, while the Bruce Ski Club trails offer kilometers of adventure for hikers and cross-country skiers, showcasing the natural splendor of the region across the seasons.

The village of Colpoy's Bay itself is a spectacle of natural beauty, positioned along the north shore of the bay's uniquely U-shaped harbor. The journey from Wiarton along the bay’s north shore to the village is a visual delight, with Spragge's Hill offering a breathtaking vantage point. From here, the panoramic view encompasses the expansive bay, the distant islands, and Cape Crocker, with the imposing bluffs of the Niagara Escarpment rising majestically to the south.

The history of the area is vividly illustrated through landmarks such as Whicher's sawmill, a testament to the enduring spirit of the community despite the trials of fire and time. While the mill itself no longer stands, the area continues to resonate with the echoes of its industrious past, now offering a peaceful retreat for visitors and locals.

TGIF Cottage is more than just a place to stay; it's an invitation to immerse oneself in the beauty and tranquility of Colpoy's Bay.
