Fans of Heated Rivalry can now truthfully utter the line: “I’m coming to the cottage!”

The infamous cottage featured in the hit show has been listed on Airbnb for a mere $181 nightly.

HBO Max series Heated Rivalry centers on the passionate, secret relationship between professional hockey players Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie).

During the last episode of the series, Shane invites Ilya to his cottage for a romantic getaway. Also known as Barlochan Cottage, it sets the scene for the exchange of feelings and excitement before the series comes to a close. Heated Rivalry fans have been gushing about both the finale and the location online.

“Is the cottage episode of Heated Rivalry also your support episode of TV or…?” one eager fan on X commented.

Glee actor Kevin McHale additionally said, “Ok, I finished the heated rivalry book in a day lololol GET ME TO THE COTTAGE.”

Located off the shores of Lake Muskoka in Torrance, Ontario, Canada, the cottage has three bedrooms, each with a queen-sized bed. Two rooms have a shower, and the other has a bath. There are also various amenities, such as a fireplace, a kitchen, a dining room, and a living room.

In addition, the Airbnb listing features several rooms not shown on the show, such as the rec room with a “large TV.” There is also an exercise room located on the first level, with various machines, weights and a “Murphy-bed for overflow sleeping.”

Not only that, but guests can also enjoy “almost 400 ft. of private waterfront to enjoy those spectacular Muskoka sunsets,” just like Ilya and Shane. The listing encourages tourists to take a swim in the surrounding lake, taking advantage of the included kayaks and canoes

Right now, the Airbnb can accommodate up to six guests.

The gay sport romance was originally created for Canadian streaming service Crave. Adapted from author Rachel Reid‘s novel of the same name, Heated Rivalry has gained popularity since its HBO Max winter release on November 28.

The series spans over a decade, across several hockey seasons, in which rookies Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov navigate their lives as profesional players. The story revolves around their secret fling, as it develops into a “years-long journey of love, denial and self-discovery.”

The series also stars François Arnaud, Dylan Walsh, Sophie Nélisse, Robbie G.K., Christina Chang and Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova.
