You can now book the Heated Rivalry cottage on Airbnb
Tuna melts not included
Want to head to the cottage this summer? No, really.
It’s the vacation-home drop Heated Rivalry superfans have been waiting for. Starting March 3 at 12 p.m., the Hollanov hive will be able to book the eye-popping Muskoka pile where real-estate daddy Shane Hollander and actual daddy Ilya Rozanov professed their love for each other on the hit hockey-smut show.
Barlochan Cottage, located on Lake Muskoka’s Walkers Point, is an elegant, rustic 2,500-square-foot home designed by Toronto-based architect Trevor McIvor. With plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows, it’s perfect for gazing out at nature, or perhaps at Shane Hollander’s freckles. In honour of the main characters’ respective jersey numbers, the going rate is $248.10 per night.
Now, you too can go listen to the sweet sounds of what Ilya Rozanov calls “stupid Canadian wolf birds” (he’s talking about loons) while grilling way too many burgers and getting caught kissing by your dad. The three-bedroom retreat has exclusively king beds, and the cozy living room is made for curling up with a Canada Dry in front of the fireplace, playing some video games and perhaps eating a tuna melt or two.
You can work that glute routine in the custom exercise room or get some rest in one of the multiple outdoor areas, including a patio with a barbecue. The rental also comes with three kayaks, two canoes and a firepit. Nearby, there’s a rocky waterfront and a sandy beach with shallow entry (cough, cough) to the water along the private shoreline.
To celebrate Barlochan Cottage opening its doors for the first time, Airbnb will be making a donation to the Children’s Foundation of Muskoka.
