❄️ Whisk You Away Cottage is winter magic—

A cozy log home, a private forest escape, and a peaceful setting where time slows down and memories come easily.

Your perfect winter getaway awaits.

Whisk You Away is located in Pike Bay, a quiet, forested bay along the rugged shoreline of Lake Huron in the heart of the Northern Bruce Peninsula. Known for its natural beauty and rich history, Pike Bay today is a mix of peaceful year-round homes, seasonal cottages, and a growing tourism scene.

This region was historically used for logging and hunting in the late 19th century, when large barges would enter this small bay to service the timber industry. One of the most notable events was the 1883 shipwreck of the barge Etta and the steamer Eclipse, a tragic storm that claimed the lives of the Eclipse’s crew while the Etta ran aground on nearby Little Pike Bay beach. This shipwreck history continues to attract shipwreck enthusiasts and history buffs to the area.

Today, Pike Bay is a haven for travelers looking to explore the breathtaking wonders of the Bruce Peninsula. Casa Giulia is perfectly located to access some of the region’s most iconic attractions:

Tobermory (famous for its harbor, diving, and the ferry to Manitoulin Island) – 50 km / 45 min drive
Bruce Peninsula National Park & The Grotto – 40 min drive
Lion’s Head Lookout & Lion’s Head Provincial Park – 25 min drive
Sauble Beach – 35 min drive
Wiarton & Spirit Rock Conservation Area – 20 min drive
Owen Sound – 60 km / 1 hr drive
Whether you are here for the world-class hiking trails, the turquoise waters of Lake Huron & Georgian Bay, or the famous Grotto caves, Pike Bay offers a quiet retreat while keeping you close to the heart of the Bruce.
