Netflix's reality TV competition series, Million Dollar Secret, knows that any great game concept is only as good as its iconic setting. Love Is Blind has the Pods, The Traitors has Ardross Castle, and now, Million Dollar Secret has The Stag.

Hosted by actor Peter Serafinowicz, the new reality hit is a cutthroat game where, among 12 normie contestants, one unlucky player is hiding $1,000,000. The millionaire is unlucky because every other person in the house is hunting to eliminate the millionaire via a vote, at which point the money randomly transfers to someone else. Whoever's left standing at the end of the game walks away with the entire pot.

Like The Traitors, Million Dollar Secret's competition takes place entirely on one luxury estate, where the players have nothing to do but monitor and deceive each other from sunup to sundown. Sorry to Alan Cumming, but the show's sunny lakeside property, known as The Stag, is where I would want to spend my time if given my choice of reality competition. For anyone else who's tuning into Million Dollar Secret season 2 for the scenery as much as the drama, read on to learn more about where the reality hit is filmed.

Where is 'Million Dollar Secret' filmed?

Million Dollar Secret may call its filming location The Stag, but the gorgeous lakeside estate is really called Château Okanagan. The 44-acre property is on Okanagan Lake in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada (about 240 miles east of Vancouver). According to its website, the estate includes almost one kilometer of "exclusive shoreline [and] five craggy beaches," and the main private villa features "interiors blend French and old-world influences with furnishings and textiles sourced from France and the Mediterranean."

As for the amenities, the property features an eight-bedroom Grand Residence (including a two-bedroom beach house) and a four-bedroom Estate Villa. The Million Dollar Secret cast has plenty to enjoy during their off-time, as the chateau includes staff like a private chef and concierge, a wine cellar and three acres of vineyards, a 12-seat movie theater, private hiking trails, a library and billiard lounge, a tennis court, and a fully decked-out spa.

Booking options range from just the Estate Villa (starting at $900 per room or $4,000 per night for the whole villa), to just the Grand Residence (starting at $13,200 per night for the whole residence), to the entire estate (price upon inquiry). According to Kelowna Now, the Chateau is the most expensive Airbnb listing in Canada.
