Hello hello — Happy Sunday! Here's what's on tap:

🏒 How you can live out your ‘Heated Rivalry’ fantasy IRL

Remember that stunning lakeside retreat where Shane and Ilya finally let their guards down in Heated Rivalry? The one with those breathtaking water views and that unforgettable firepit scene?

Well, pack your bags, because you can now rent it.

Starting March 3, fans of the hit series can book the actual cottage used for filming Shane Hollander's getaway. And despite what Canadians modestly call a "cottage," this place is anything but humble.

The rental comes loaded with toys: three kayaks, two canoes, and yes, that firepit. There's even an exercise room, though let's be honest—you're probably not going there to work out.

Located at Lake Muskoka's Walkers Point, it sleeps six and sits about 20 minutes from the towns of Gravenhurst and Bala. You're looking at a 90-minute drive from Toronto Airport, or 30 minutes from Muskoka's regional airport if you're feeling fancy.

Bookings open March 3 at 12pm ET, and here's where the show's creators got cheeky with the pricing: $248.10 CAD per night (roughly $134 USD). Catch the reference? That's 24 and 81—Shane and Ilya's jersey numbers.

Whether you're a die-hard Heated Rivalry fan or just someone who appreciates a gorgeous lakeside escape, this is your chance to step into the show.
