Stay at Barlochan CottageOntario, Canada

There are two types of people in this world: those who watched Heated Rivalry and moved on with their lives, and those who immediately googled “Is that cottage real?” at 1am. If you fall into the latter camp (like us), congratulations, your unhinged dedication has been rewarded.

The lakeside escape from Heated Rivalry - yes, that Barlochan Cottage - is now bookable on Airbnb. The slow-burn tension might have been fictional, but the setting very much isn’t. Tucked along the shores of Lake Muskoka in cottage country, it’s all pine trees, still water and silence that forces you to confront your feelings (or at least how much time you’re spending in front of the screen.

The three-bedroom retreat leans hard into that classic Canadian lake-house energy: oversized windows, timber finishes, a fireplace built for dramatic stares, and a dock that basically insists on a sunrise swim. There’s a proper kitchen for post-kayak feasts, a fire pit primed for late-night debriefs, and enough space to bring friends, though you may prefer to keep it a two-person storyline if ya know what we mean.

And the best part is, it’s only gonna set you back around AU$255 a night or CA$248 (a neat little nod to the main characters’ jersey numbers). Subtle.

Look, you don’t have to be an ice hockey obsessive to appreciate this place. But if you do find yourself standing on that dock, staring across the water like you’re about to confess something life-altering, just know: you’re not alone.
