The iconic lakeside cottage that served as the pivotal romantic backdrop in the hit television series ‘Heated Rivalry’ is now available for public rental through Airbnb. Starting March 3rd, fans of the ice hockey romance drama can experience the actual property where fictional characters Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov cemented their relationship.
Located in Ontario’s picturesque Muskoka region, the Barlochan cottage features striking architectural design by Toronto-based architect Trevor McIvor. The property boasts floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of lush greenery, complemented by a private dock and dedicated home gym facilities.
In a clever nod to the show’s narrative, the initial rental rate has been set at C$248.10 per night—a direct reference to the jersey numbers of the two main characters (24 and 81). This special pricing will be available for May weekend bookings, with general reservations opening in June at a to-be-announced rate.
The property represents more than just a vacation rental; it embodies Canada’s cherished cottage culture that formed central themes throughout the series. The real-life location provided the setting for Hollander’s invitation to Rozanov for a secluded romantic weekend, away from public scrutiny—a turning point in their fictional relationship.
Situated approximately two hours from Toronto Pearson International Airport, the prefabricated Douglas fir structure was specifically designed as a four-season retreat that harmonizes with the surrounding Canadian Shield topography. While the current property owner has chosen to remain anonymous, they have collaborated directly with Airbnb to make this cultural landmark accessible to the public.
This listing joins other notable entertainment properties available on the platform, including Harry Potter’s childhood home in Lavenham, England, and the Swan House from the Twilight vampire series in Washington state.
