If Ilya Rozanov’s now-infamous “I’m coming to the cottage” text lives rent-free in your head, this might be your sign to check your calendar.
The lakeside hideaway featured in Heated Rivalry, the retreat where Rozanov and Shane Hollander finally dropped the bravado and admitted what viewers already knew, is heading to Airbnb. Beginning March 3 at 12 p.m. ET, fans can reserve the real-life Barlochan Cottage, the Muskoka property that doubled as the couple’s emotional sanctuary on screen.
For those who remember the dockside confession framed by still water and echoing loon calls, yes, it’s that one.
A Reel Romance, A Real Address
Located on Walkers Point in Ontario’s Muskoka region, the three-bedroom home leans into classic Canadian cottage design without feeling stuck in nostalgia. Toronto architect Trevor McIvor crafted the space with clean lines and generous sightlines, giving nearly every corner a view of the lake.
Each bedroom features a king-sized bed, a wink longtime fans will appreciate, while the main living area opens into a high-ceiling kitchen built for group dinners or quiet mornings with coffee. A gas fireplace anchors the living room, offering a practical excuse to recreate a brooding stare or two.
Floor-to-ceiling windows pull the outdoors in, especially at sunset when the lake shifts into gold. At night, the same glass walls make stargazing part of the itinerary.
Dock Days and Firepit Nights
Outside, the property unfolds into a wide patio overlooking the water. There’s a firepit ready for late conversations and a barbecue that looks straight out of a certain burger-flipping scene between two professional hockey players who clearly had more on their minds than condiments.
The private waterfront stretches along the property, with kayaks and canoes included in the rental. Guests can paddle out at sunrise or drift along the shoreline in the afternoon. A sandy beach nearby offers shallow entry, making it ideal for swimming or simply floating without agenda.
For travelers who prefer movement over meditation, the house includes a dedicated workout room equipped with cardio machines, weights and, because this is Muskoka, a panoramic outdoor view. Call it method acting.
A Jersey Number Easter Egg
Rates start at $248.10 CAD per night, a subtle nod to Hollander and Rozanov’s jersey numbers. The pricing detail feels intentional, much like the show’s lingering glances and loaded pauses.
To mark the launch, Airbnb will donate to the Children’s Foundation of Muskoka, a local nonprofit supporting youth from economically disadvantaged households. It’s a hometown tie-in that keeps the booking from feeling purely indulgent.
From Screen to Shoreline
The property gained cult status after appearing in one of the most talked-about episodes of the Crave series. What unfolded there shifted the dynamic between the two leads and cemented the cottage as more than a backdrop. It became shorthand for vulnerability, a rare break from locker-room tension and league politics.
Now, that setting moves from fiction into fans’ vacation plans.
Whether you’re planning a full group getaway or a quiet weekend by the lake, the appeal is obvious. The home delivers privacy, cinematic scenery and just enough pop-culture lore to make arrival feel like stepping into canon.
