The cottage featured in the finale episode of the popular TV series 'Heated Rivalry' will soon be available to rent on Airbnb. The real-life 'Barlochan Cottage' is located in Muskoka, Ontario, about a two-hour drive from Toronto, and will be priced at $248.10 CAD per night, or around $181 USD. Airbnb reached out to the cottage's anonymous owners after the show's success, and the owners tapped a property management company to handle the bookings.

Why it matters

The rental of the 'Heated Rivalry' cottage provides an exciting opportunity for fans of the show to immerse themselves in the world of the series and experience the setting of one of the emotional climaxes of the main characters' relationship. It also highlights the growing trend of TV and film productions influencing the vacation rental market.

The details

The three-bedroom cottage can accommodate several guests and features nearly 400 feet of private waterfront, a fire pit, and an exercise room. Airbnb wanted to make the rental affordable, so the nightly rate of $248.10 CAD was chosen intentionally, as it combines the hockey jersey numbers of the show's two main characters.

  • The cottage will be available for booking starting March 3, 2026.
