LIST: Staycation spots with the same vibe as the famous cottage in 'Heated Rivalry'
Can’t get enough of the cottage scene in Heated Rivalry?
The steamy series has been heating up, and fans are loving the chemistry between Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie) and Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams).
One scene that’s gone viral is their vacation at Shane’s cottage. Many fans have visited the filming location, that it’s raised concerns for the real-life owners over privacy.
"As with all of our residential work, this cottage was commissioned for personal use and developed over many years with an exceptional client. It was not created for the show. The home has existed and will continue to exist and to be enjoyed by the family who put their heart and soul into it. We respectfully ask that it, and our clients, be treated as such," architectural firm Trevor McIvor Architect posted on Instagram.
"Despite its openness and glazing, the cottage was designed for privacy: to see nature, not to be seen. It is carefully sheltered by the landscape and difficult to locate from the lake," it added.
