Chelsea VĂ©lo Nordic BnB, minutes from Ottawa, in heart of the Gatineau Park

The house (adjacent to our house) has a private separate entrance, and is perfectly suitable for families. Entryway patio includes bbq & table, and a cedar sauna and cold shower! Located in a residential area (no parties), we have a 9pm municipal quiet hour.

Chelsea Velo Nordic B&B is nestled within the Gatineau hills, walking distance from the heart of Old Chelsea village, including the Gatineau Park visitor centre, many wonderful cafés, restaurants and stores, and most importantly, the Nordik Spa.

What a lovely place to stay! Nestled in the heart of Chelsea, the Nature Escape guesthouse was just what we needed for our sister getaway. Communication with the hosts was excellent. This house has five large bedrooms filled with beautiful, lush plants. The kitchen was well stocked and there were enough bathrooms for five women to share. The furnishings are delightfully eclectic but,frankly, the pillows and throws in the living areas could use a little refresh. The local artwork on the walls is glorious and captures the beauty of the area. The hosts lives onsite, which is a bonus in my opinion, but respected our privacy as we (hopefully!) respected theirs. We would definitely return. .

Wonderful space for large groups!

Was a great getaway for a staff strategy retreat. We will return for our next planning session. The games room on the lower floor was fantastic but it was too cold for us so we didn't use it.

Idyllic family home base for adventures!!

Our extended family stayed here and had a very lovely time. Close to all the Old Chelsea restaurants, the park, and not far at all from downtown Ottawa. The host was helpful and friendly and we had a great stay. The house was very quiet, plenty of space for everyone and good layout for kids to go to sleep early. Couldn’t haven been better!

It was a great space for myself and 5 athletes. For us it was very convenient to Camp Fortune and a reasonable drive to Mont Ste-Marie. House was exactly as described and the owners were great. We will definitely stay here again next time we have races in the area.

Awesome winter getaway

We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable home. The location is perfect- less than a mile from Chelsea village and Gatineau park. We were able to get in a lot of Nordic skiing. Close to Ottawa and we went drove 20 min into town for museums and dinner. The hosts were great- helpful and friendly. We would stay again!

Loved out stay

The location was great -- so easy to get to Ottawa, but also near some local gems in Quebec. The village of Chelsea is so charming, and so many treasures that are near the house.The house was very roomy and we didn't feel crowded with 10 guests. Everyone had a great place to sleep.The kids loved the games room area. It was nice they could have a place to hang out.We had a lovely fire on our first night there and got to see some fireflies!

Excellent Girls Getaway

We stayed here for the trip to the nearby Nordik Spa. It was a great place to gather with a group of friends. We loved the game room downstairs. The kitchen was rather small, but we weren't planning on an elaborate meal, so it worked out great. It was nice having 2 1/2 baths with such a large group of girls. We definitely plan on returning someday.

Relaxing location

There were eight of us visiting Ottawa for the first time. The house had plenty of room, the homeowners live in the house next door. They were helpful but left us alone to enjoy ourselves. The drive to Ottawa was easy and mostly highway. House was stocked with what we needed and the little town was cute.

Exactly as expected!

We were met with zero surprises and everything was exactly as we expected from the description and photos. It was a great place to relax and use as a home base while we were visiting in Canada. The drive into Ottawa was short and easy from this guesthouse. We especially appreciated access to a washer and dryer. This house has plenty of space, which is always a bonus!
