About this property

Nature Escape guesthouse, minutes from Ottawa, in the heart of the Gatineau Park

Your accommodations are spacious, sparkling clean, private, and peaceful. An artsy home away from home, tucked in the forest with lovely wood, vaulted ceilings, original art, fine art prints and photography.

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

The house includes five, (sleeping 12, very comfortably) private, locking bedrooms, a full kitchen, living room, dining room, library/chess area, various hang out nooks, 2.5 bathrooms, full laundry, covered patio, gardens, hammocks, swing, fire pit, barbecue and private entrance.

The gamesroom has a modern tv to connect Apple and Android devices, a pool table, darts and shuffle board.
Tons of storage for sports equipment, and we offer a ski wax room in the winter, and a bike storage/cleaning/tuning area and tools in the summer.

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. Plus we’re just a 10 minute drive to downtown Ottawa, and 10 minutes to the charming village of Wakefield. Our fantastic location allows for easy access to both trail and town experiences.

Suitable for families, teams, or low-key groups.

Absolutely not suitable for house parties, we live next door, have neighbors, and the municipal outside quiet hour is 9pm.

Great location for large group
We stayed at the cottage with the family to celebrate the 60th wedding anniversary of our parents. The venue was perfect to have a large family gathering. The chalet itself is very nice, comfortable. Kitchen is a bit small for meal prep for large group but had everything we needed. Bedrooms are nice and with lots of space. Comfortable beds. Nice area to play pool and relax. Very nice covered porch. Only concerns are the stairs in the cottage. Not appropriate for people with disabilities or older people. The owners are very nice people, but important to mention that they live next door. I recommend this cottage.

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!

Great space
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.

Roomy and convenient
Shirt drive to both Old Chelsea and Gatineau park. Lots of bedrooms which are comfy and spacious. Living room/dining room could be bigger to accommodate a fuller house. Not enough chairs/couches for ten people. We were only three so did not impact us. Kitchen is small but well-stocked. Trevor and Alisha were very responsive and friendly. Provided great advice on local trails, which was especially appreciated given how busy the town and park were that weekend. Signs in house ask that windows not be opened were a bit ‘off-putting’. This is apparently to avoid loud groups annoying neighbours. Totally get it but We wanted to open them for fresh air and Trevor quickly said yes. Suggest the signs get removed from every window and just be really clear at check in to tell guests to shut windows if they are going to be noisy.

Girls getaway
Good place for a girls weekend! The cottage was very close to the spa, which was perfect. The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. We cooked a lot and the kitchen was a bit small for lots of meal prep but it was stocked well. There’s no dishwasher, which I would suggest putting in if possible! Trevor was very nice and easy to get in touch with. We would stay here again.
