Hosts was very friendly and quick to respond. Kitchen well stocked. Bathrooms clean and modern. Beds and linens were very comfortable. Games room fun with different activities. Lots of parking for multiple guests. Would definitely stay there again.
Beautiful country home. Gracious hosts. Well appointed kitchen! They even gave us zucchini from their garden. So much to do in the surrounding area. All 5 bedrooms comfortable.
The property was beautiful- a lovely garden, campfire space, outdoor eating area, etc. The home itself was very cute and clean. This was one of the most well stocked kitchens I’ve seen in a vrbo/bnb. The hosts are wonderful people too, and they went above and beyond!
Very relaxing place with lots of space for sleeping and socializing. We went to Spa Nordik, which was very close by. Great location. Nicely appointed kitchen.
Spacious rooms, beautiful artwork, two different areas for gathering—one far away from the bedrooms, so no worries about disturbing sleepers. Well-appointed kitchen. Lovely location and friendly owner
Great spot for a 70th birthday weekend--close to hiking, spa, and dining options. Love the layout of the space. Beautiful huge windows. Great communication.
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. .
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.
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.
My wife and her girlfriends stayed here for her 40th.
The location and amenities were perfect. Checking in was easy and communication with the property was fast.
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!
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!
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.
