I’m coming to the cottage!
Heated Rivalry fans who have been dying to have their own Canadian getaway experience are in luck, because the filming location for the final episode of the show’s first season is available to rent on Airbnb.
In the rivals-to-lovers gay hockey romance series, the cottage is the location for a pivotal moment in Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov’s relationship, where they are able to connect away from the pressures of their careers and the homophobia of the NHL, and finally tell each other they’re in love.
So if you have been swept up in Shane and Ilya’s love story and want to act out your own version of their hottest and sweetest moments together, starting on March 3, you’ll be able to rent the 3-bed, 3-bath cottage located on the shore of Lake Muskoka in Torrence, Canada.
Fans who book right away will pay $248.10 CAD per night as a cheeky nod to Shane and Ilya’s jersey numbers, which are 24 and 81, respectively.
While the Airbnb ad doesn’t explicitly say it’s the filming location for Heated Rivalry’s infamous cottage episode, it’s listed as being "featured on a TV-hit show this season," and the company has since confirmed it’s the real deal.
The cottage has 400 feet of private waterfront, north-west exposure for sunset views, and the fire pit where Ilya gets scared of the "stupid Canadian wolf bird," aka a loon.
The rental features huge plate-glass windows that played a supporting role in episode 6, like when Ilya intentionally keeps the blinds open as Shane goes down on him in the bedroom, and when the two lovebirds are pressed up against the glass wall before getting caught by Shane’s dad.
The advertisement also boasts the “privacy” Shane promises Ilya when he asks him to “come to my cottage this summer?”
Now, “I’m coming to the cottage” isn’t just a line from the popular show, but could be real travel plans for fans who want to experience the magic of the cottage that was a turning point for everyone’s favorite closeted hockey players.
