If you, like the rest of the planet, have been obsessing over Heated Rivalry, then you're probably familiar with one gut-wrenching episode (I mean, they all are) titled "The Cottage" (episode six). And beyond the high emotional stakes, the location was the real star. It's an actual property known as Barlochan Cottage, designed by architect Trevor McIvor. Spacious, bright, windows galore, seclusion and woods all by the water? I don't know about you, but I want to be there. So, I rounded up seven Heated Rivalry Airbnbs that feel like Shane and Ilya's hideaway. You're welcome.

1. Magical TreeHouse (Huntsville, Ontario)
Airbnb
This restored, 1970s A-frame has the dazzling floor-to-ceiling windows of Shane and Ilya's own escape. It's close to Hidden Valley Ski Resort (a five minute walk), Peninsula Lake Beach (ten minute walk) and Hidden Valley Trails (15 minute walk). The hosts also offer a complimentary Ontario Parks Pass, which grants guests entry to Arrowhead & Algonquin Provincial Parks with hiking, canoeing, kayaking, biking, forest skating, snowshoeing and more.
Indoors, put on the record player, crawl up to the fireplace with a book or lounge in the hot tub under the stars. If you're visiting in warmer weather like our star-crossed-lovers, the outdoor fire pit and outdoor lounge chairs are not to be missed. In every season, you'll be surrounded by quiet forest views.
2. Le Grand Pic (Sainte-Côme, Quebec)
Airbnb
Though this chalet has a modern look, you'll still find wood-burning fireplaces inside. It's peaceful and secluded, surrounded by forest (and the occasional animal). If you, too, feel a compulsion to cook too many burgers, there's a grill available year-round and an upper patio from which you can enjoy the meal. The fully-equipped kitchen and ten-person dining room make it a welcoming space for groups—but it's also the perfect getaway for lovers.
3. Lavender Landing (Creemore, Canada)
Airbnb
Looking to really jump off the grid? Lavender Landing promises 240 private acres of forest and farmland on which sits a solar-powered cabin. This is the cabin for your secret rendezvous: To arrive, you must trek up the half mile trail (with an elevation of 246 feet) to reach the one-room cottage. If you want to venture out, a private trail will take you to Lavender Falls, a 53-foot waterfall where you can swim, picnic and enjoy the sound of the water.
4. HyggeHaus (Eagle Lake, Ontario)
Airbnb
As the name suggests, HyggeHaus is a cozy retreat in the Haliburton Highlands of Ontario. The luxurious modern cabin is 2.5 hours from Toronto, with floor-to-ceiling windows, heated concrete floors and a generous wood stove. Douglas firs are found all around, providing a quiet landscape for you to take in from the hot tub or the fire pit. Other amenities include a grill, outdoor games and spa-like bathrooms. Don't be surprised if deer, fox, wild turkeys and red squirrels come to say hello. Want to explore? Eagle Lake and Sir Sam’s Ski & Bike offer opportunities to boat, hike, ski and snowboard.
5. Muskoka A-Frame (Huntsville, Ontario)
Airbnb
This '70s A-frame is a couple's dream hideaway, where you'll find nothing but swaying trees and forest views for miles. The two-story cabin has floor-to-ceiling windows, a gas fireplace, outdoor grill, fire pit and snow shoes. Despite the seclusion, guests still have access to Peninsula Lake and Ski Hidden Valley, plus Arrowhead and Algonquin Provincial Parks.
6. Chalet L'Enchanteur (Sainte-Côme, Quebec)
Airbnb
If any property has screamed HEATED RIVALRY COTTAGE to me, it's the Chalet L'Enchanteur. Let's be honest. Ilya and Shane's "cottage" is more like a lakeside palatial paradise—and that's what this property is giving. Three stories, panoramic mountain views, fireplaces galore, a spa and direct access to Lake Laurianne via private pier? Well, sign me up.
7. Element Tremblant (Lac-Supérieur, Quebec)
Airbnb
Skiers will want to snap up the Element Tremblant—a rare find that's often booked. The contemporary home has so many windows it's basically made of glass, offering stunning views of the woods. It's both close to Lake Superior and Mont Tremblant National Park, and six minutes from the slopes.
