Movie tourism just turned your watchlist into a travel bucket list. You can rent the actual cottage from Heated Rivalry on Airbnb right now for $248.10 a night in Muskoka, and that price is almost certainly 10 times lower than it should be. Downton Abbey’s filming location became one of Britain’s top tourist attractions the moment the show aired. Your favorite show is already telling you where to go next.
The $248.10 price isn’t random. The two leads’ jersey numbers are 24 and 81, and the nightly rate was set accordingly. Game of Thrones turned Ireland into a tourism destination. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame released its 17 nominee list and somehow Lenny Kravitz, Motorhead, and Jethro Tull are still waiting outside while Phil Collins, Mariah Carey, and Oasis made the shortlist.
Book the cottage before it’s gone. The Rock Hall argument will not be resolved by anyone, least of all Gene Simmons. And if movie tourism ever felt like an extreme fan commitment, $248 a night in Muskoka just changed the definition.
