Heated Rivalry fans can now book the iconic cottage from the hit series on Airbnb

The Cottage served as the setting for Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov’s intimate summer retreat in the show

Fans of the breakout hockey romance series Heated Rivalry can now take their obsession one step further—by booking a stay at the very cottage that stole the spotlight in the show’s emotional finale. The real-life lakeside property, located in Muskoka, Ontario, served as the setting for Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov’s intimate summer retreat and has since become one of the most recognizable locations in recent TV romance.

The property, often referred to as “Barlochan Cottage”, is not a rustic cabin but a sleek, modern lake house with glass walls, granite features, and sweeping views of the surrounding forest and water. Designed by architect Trevor McIvor, the home blends contemporary architecture with the secluded, cozy atmosphere that made the show’s now-viral line, “I’m coming to the cottage,” a defining pop-culture moment.

In Heated Rivalry, the cottage becomes a safe haven for the rival hockey players to confront their relationship away from public scrutiny, symbolising privacy, intimacy, and emotional vulnerability. The season-one finale episode, fittingly titled “The Cottage,” centers on their time together in this lakeside hideaway as they come to terms with their future and publicly acknowledge their love.

Following the show’s global success, along with a surge in popularity for Rachel Reid’s original book series and widespread social media buzz, the Muskoka property has turned into an unexpected tourism magnet. Fans eager to recreate the show’s romantic escape can now rent the cottage through Airbnb, with nightly rates rising during peak summer months due to high demand.

The listing taps directly into the ongoing “cottagecore romance” trend sparked by the show, which has reshaped the idea of a cottage from a rustic dwelling into a luxurious, emotionally charged retreat. For viewers, it’s not just about a scenic getaway—it’s about stepping into a story that celebrates intimacy, queer love, and the comfort of a private world away from the spotlight.

With Heated Rivalry already renewed for future seasons and its fanbase continuing to grow, the real-life cottage is poised to remain one of the most sought-after destinations for fans hoping to experience a piece of the show’s magic firsthand.
