(SPOT.ph) Just as you thought you were getting over the steamy, breakout series of late 2025, Heated Rivalry, here's something to pull you back in your spiral—and, no, this isn't another Hudson Williams photoshoot.
Remember that cute, homey cottage Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov escaped to that one summer? You know the said cottage that launched a thousand "I'm coming to the cottage" memes? Well, apparently, it's not just another set; it's an actual property in Ontario's Lake Muskoka. What's even more news is that you can book the property on Airbnb for select weekends this March.

Introducing, Barlochan Cottage in Lake Musoka, Ontario
Fans may know the property as the one where Hollander and Rozanov's relationship officially turns more sweet and less steamy (well, still equally so), but in real life, it's the Barlochan Cottage, a private, two-story home tucked in the rocky shores of the snazzy Lake Muskoka community in Ontario, Canada. This "modern cottage" is a three-bedroom, three-bath lakehouse with dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of picturesque Lake Muskoka and its sunsets.


We'd be remiss if we said the main draw of Barlochan Cottage is its appearance in the show. The property is gorgeous in itself, boasting direct lake access for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and other water activities. It's got 400 feet of private lakefront access, with a sandy shore for quiet moments by the water. You can even sit by the fire pit (yes, just like in the show) and enjoy unobstructed views of the twinkling night sky.

For the indoorsy crowd, the cottage doesn’t skimp on creature comforts. Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped open-concept kitchen and dining area, a cozy living room, and a recreation room complete with a large TV and theater-style seating—perfect for your next binge session.
There’s also a private gym, spa-like ensuite bathrooms, and bedrooms outfitted with plush queen beds dressed in five-star hotel-quality linens. In other words, whether you’re exploring the lake or staying tucked under the covers, your stay is no doubt bound to be one for the books.


Built in 2020 by Canadian architect Trevor McIvor, the Barlochan Cottage was described in a Condé Nast Traveler article as one that "sits at the end of a narrow, tree-hugging road that opens onto a lake and stretches of northern sky," making it perfect for couples looking for a romantic getaway, or for someone in need of a quiet reset, far from the noise of daily life and closer to nature.
