'Heated Rivalry' Cottage Opens Its Doors to Fans in Muskoka

Starting February 24, 2026, at 10:19 AM, enthusiasts of the popular HBO Max and Crave series 'Heated Rivalry' received exciting news: the memorable Canadian cottage, central to the show's heartfelt conclusion, is now available for short-term rentals. Located amidst the serene landscapes of Muskoka, Canada, this lakeside dwelling can be booked via Airbnb from March 3 at 9 a.m. PT. The nightly rate is set at $248.10 in local currency, a significant detail that pays homage to the jersey numbers of the fictional hockey stars, Shane Hollander (portrayed by Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (played by Connor Storrie). This charming cottage gained particular renown from the series' poignant finale, which unfolded entirely within its walls, and from Storrie's now-famous line, "I'm coming to the cottage," delivered in the fifth episode. The show, adapted from Rachel Reid’s 'Game Changers' book series, explores the intricate and secretly blossoming romance between two rival professional hockey players. Bell Media's production for Crave, also aired on HBO Max in the U.S., has been renewed for a second season, with creator Jacob Tierney returning to direct. While Tierney, who solely wrote and directed the first season, contemplates bringing in additional writers for the next installment, fans eagerly await both new episodes and the upcoming seventh book in Reid’s series, 'Unrivaled,' which will continue Shane and Ilya’s story, now slated for release in June 2027.

This initiative represents more than just a rental; it's an invitation for fans to step into the narrative, bridging the gap between fiction and reality. It highlights the growing trend of immersive fan experiences, where beloved fictional settings become tangible destinations. For 'Heated Rivalry' admirers, the cottage offers a chance to deepen their connection with the story, reflecting on the complex and beautiful journey of its protagonists. It also underscores the lasting impact of storytelling, demonstrating how certain locations can become as iconic as the characters themselves.
