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. .

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!

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.

Family gathering

This was a great place for all 9 of our family. Tasteful decor with spacious rooms, comfortable beds and very pleasant seating and dining area. Gaming and TV room was a nice touch. Hosts on the property were a great benefit and fun to interact with. They are very generous with all the amenities including outside activities. Highly recommended!

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!

Amazing experience!

Our trip to Ottawa would not be possible if we hadn’t connected with Trevor. After our original reservation was cancelled the morning of, Trevor welcomed us into his beautiful home. We loved our time spent enjoying the comfy beds, great little kitchen that had it all, shuffle board and tons of DVD options! The location was perfect, close to everything we wanted to go on our trip. Thank you Trevor for your kindness and for helping us have a wonderful vacation as a family, despite the initial challenges.

A nice base to explore the area

Our group (2 families with kids and the grandparents) enjoyed staying at the Nature Guesthouse. It was a convenient location from which to explore the nation's capital and Gatineau Park. The house was not as clean as other guests have mentioned (there was old coffee in the percolator, unwashed pans in the oven and a half-eaten apple left on the railing). However it was a nice setting for our family gathering and had plenty of space for everyone. A dishwasher or a better sink and drying rack set-up would be useful. I wish we could come back in the winter to try the sauna and enjoy the xc-skiing!

Fiddle Festival

This was a lovely, large, clean rambling house. The owner was quick to respond to any issues we had. It does need a dishwasher, which he is installing soon. Also, it is not good for anyone with any mobility issues as there are steps in the entryway and an unexpected step to a landing in front of 2 of the bathrooms. The owner has installed motion activated lights to help avoid falls at night.

The property is simple, clean, and served our large group well. We ate most of our meals out and enjoyed the proximity to the Nordik Spa. Cooking breakfast was ok in the kitchen but the items and appliance are very well-loved and could perhaps use a slight renewal. It is also worth noting that the house may be more suitable for warmer seasons. The winter snow and cold made our stay more challenging as the heating was not always well-distributed and the air was extremely dry (the toddlers in our group really struggled). The private road to the house is uphill and requires four-wheel drive if snowy. One of our cars was a rental, and unfortunately only had all-season tires. lt took an hour to get the van up the hill after heavy snow -- many of us had to push the car up; the host was responsive to our call and helped strategize. He eventually took our his pickup truck and towed the van up the last stretch.Overall, we felt the host was there for us when we needed. Thank you for being attentive and helpful.
