The iconic Gordon Bay Cottage featured in ‘Sterling Point’ is available for limited stays this October through Airbnb, starting September 15.
The legendary Gordon Bay Cottage, which serves as the exterior for Gordon’s lakeside home in Prime Video's hit series "Sterling Point," is officially open for reservations on Airbnb. This development was first reported exclusively by Variety on September 9, 2026.
Guests can rent this historic Muskoka property for three limited stay periods from October 2-5, October 9-12, and October 16-19. The booking window opens at 9 a.m. ET on September 15, with a nightly rate of $180 CAD. This offers fans of the show a unique opportunity to experience a piece of the Sterling Point narrative firsthand.
Built in 1902, the Gordon Bay Cottage is nestled in Ontario’s serene Muskoka region, which is renowned for its breathtaking natural landscapes. While the storyline in "Sterling Point" is fictional, the cottage plays an essential role early in the series, particularly after a family discovers that they have inherited the island, along with the mysteries intertwined in the story. The cottage, with its picturesque setting, serves as a primary location for significant developments in the plot, making it integral to the viewer experience.
The rental of Gordon Bay Cottage coincides with a notable increase in interest in Muskoka as a travel destination, driven largely by "Sterling Point." According to data from Airbnb, searches for accommodations in Muskoka by international travelers have surged nearly 110% year over year, while overall searches have grown by more than 30%. This surge indicates a significant positive impact on local tourism, enhancing Muskoka’s reputation beyond its scenic beauty.
"Sterling Point" is created by executive producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, known for their work on popular teen dramas such as "The O.C." and "Gossip Girl." The new series aims to authentically showcase the Muskoka region while also addressing themes surrounding property ownership and development. The cultural weight it brings can shape how viewers perceive Muskoka, intertwining real locales with fictional narratives.
The initiative to rent properties featured in popular media is a growing trend in pop-culture tourism; a strategy pioneered by Airbnb. The company has previously offered stays that draw inspiration from famous films and shows, making this latest offering a natural extension. Past experiences have included opportunities to stay in settings based on properties like Barbie’s Malibu DreamHouse, as well as locations from iconic franchises.
The rental of the Gordon Bay Cottage represents a significant move for Airbnb and provides an exciting chance for fans of "Sterling Point" to immerse themselves in the show's world. By making this integral location available for public stays, both the platform and the show aim to leverage the growing trend of experiential travel, merging tourism with pop culture in ways that invite viewers to step directly into the narrative of "Sterling Point."
