Relive the Heat: ‘Heated Rivalry’ Cottage Now Available on Airbnb

For fans of the hit television series Heated Rivalry, a unique opportunity has arrived: the iconic cottage featured prominently in the reveal is now available for rent on Airbnb. Barlochan Cottage, nestled on the shores of Lake Muskoka in Ontario, Canada, will open its doors to guests on March 3, 2026.

A Setting as Captivating as the Series

The three-bedroom cottage, where key scenes from Heated Rivalry were filmed, offers a secluded retreat reminiscent of the show’s intense and intimate moments. Built in 2020 by Canadian architect Trevor McIvor, the 2,500 square foot timber structure was originally designed as a private getaway. Its design, characterized by floor-to-ceiling glass walls and timber-clad ceilings, provides a sense of privacy despite its open layout, as the residence is shaped to blend into the surrounding Canadian Shield.

Inside Barlochan Cottage

Guests can experience the cottage’s luxurious amenities, including three bedrooms each with a king bed, and an open-concept kitchen complete with an island and seating for four. The living area features a wall-mounted television and expansive windows overlooking the lake. The property boasts nearly 400 feet of private waterfront access, perfect for enjoying Muskoka’s famed sunsets.

A Nod to the Show’s Details

Fans of the series will appreciate the subtle nods to the show’s recurring motifs. While the nightly rate is not US$248.10 – a reference to the jersey numbers of the show’s protagonists, Shane Hollander (number 24) and Ilya Rozanov (number 18) – the cottage is listed in Airbnb’s “luxe” category, with nightly rates typically exceeding US$1,000.

Architectural Significance

The cottage’s design reflects the characters’ inner lives, according to Alisha Bishop, a senior associate at Trevor McIvor Architect. The sleek, modern structure contrasts with the more traditional image of the show’s protagonist, Shane Hollander, representing his authentic self. The use of a glass structure, while seemingly paradoxical for a secret getaway, creates a sense of privacy once inside, thanks to the thoughtful integration of the building into the landscape.

Booking Information

Barlochan Cottage will be available for booking on Airbnb starting March 3, 2026. Interested guests can find more information and check availability on the Airbnb website.
