The Cottage Lore

The cottage is a stunning example of minimalist modern design as it serves as a serene backdrop to Shane and Ilya’s romantic connection—and soon, it could be the backdrop to your own getaway.

Airbnb announced this week that the same Barlochan cottage where the buzzy series was filmed will soon be available for bookings on its platform—and the rates are surprisingly affordable.

About the Cottage 

The cottage and its idyllic setting offer the perfect opportunity for guests to slow down and escape the stressors of the daily grind. The property can accommodate up to six guests and features three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The home also features a central fireplace, a fully-equipped kitchen, and an entertainment system in case you want to rewatch Heated Rivalry while staying in the cottage. How many people can say they've done that?

If you, like Shane and Ilya, are an athletic type, the cottage even boasts its own private home gym, stocked with premium equipment to help you stick to your workout routine. 

Outside, the property offers both rocky and sandy waterfront access along 400 feet of private shoreline where you can go for a swim, head out on a kayak, or just take in the sunset after grilling up some juicy burgers on the cottage’s picturesque patio.

How to Book the Cottage

Starting March 3 at 12 p.m. ET, four early access two-night stays at the cottage—May 8-10, May 16-18, May 22-24, and May 29-31—will be open for booking at a price of $248 CAD per night.

Given the show's popularity, we're guessing those early access stays will go quickly, so you might want to set a calendar alert to snag one. If you do miss out, the cottage will open for regular bookings at a later date and an undisclosed rate.
