Eager“Heated Rivalry” fansleft desperate for another dose of Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov will get the chance to step into the shoes of the now-infamousHBO Maxcharacters by renting outthe iconic cottagethat served as the backdrop for the emotional finale episode in the hit hockey series.
The property, which is known as Barlochan Cottage and is located on the edge ofLake MuskokainCanada, has become synonymous with the show, in which lead characters Shane, played byHudson Williams, and Ilya, played byConnor Storrie, cemented their love story during a two-week getaway.
Now, that same home is set to open its doors to “Heated Rivalry” fans from around the world when itgoes live on Airbnb as a vacation rental, with early bookings due to be made available on March 3 at 12 p.m. ET.
The cottage, seen here in photos courtesy of Airbnb, can be booked for $248.10 CAD per night—about $181 USD—a price that was set as a kind of tribute to the jersey numbers worn by the show’s lead characters: 24 for Shane and 18 for Ilya.
“Every great story deserves the perfect setting,” Airbnbsaid in a statementabout the listing. “Airbnb is inviting guests to Barlochan Cottage—which has captivated screens big and small this winter—allowing fans to book and experience the private haven in real life on the shores of Lake Muskoka.
“Rooted in the Canadian tradition of cottage life, this warm, modern home was built with privacy as its cornerstone, where architectural details flow in harmony with the natural surroundings to create a safe space to disconnect and become one with nature.
“Opening its doors for the first time exclusively on Airbnb, a select number of guests can book the cottage for a weekend stay this summer, an invitation to step away from the noise and embrace the off-the-grid escape designed for slowing down, and reconnecting.”
While the cottagewillopen for “regular booking” at some point later this year, Airbnb is initially offering up four long weekend bookings for the Ontario home: May 8-10, May 16-18, May 22-24, and May 29-31.
The property has become the source of much fascination after it was revealed that Shane’s idyllic cottage in “Heated Rivalry” was in fact a real place—albeit one that is located in Muskoka andnotMontreal, which is the location given in the series and the book that inspired it.
Reviewers have lauded the six-episode series, while social media has been flooded with posts dedicated to the actors and their on-screen characters, as well as Shane and Ilya’s Canadian love nest.
