The River Den was exactly what I hoped for, a big vacation experience in just 24 hours : )

It was really great to stay here :) thx bonnie :)

Our day at the River Den was unfortunately an unpleasant one. While Bonnie's boat is as it looks in the pictures we encountered numerous disappointing factors that weren't as advertised upon our arrival and in the end decided not to stay. Bonnie had told us she would meet us at the boat, but was later unable to do so. She then arranged with us to have her boyfriend meet us at the boat and said she would send a video to explain how everything works. While she did send a video it was still quite complicated and would have been much easier to discuss in person. We had arranged to meet at 3:30 and she agreed her boyfriend would be able to meet us then. We waited for a half hour and never met him. Bonnie then called and told us the boat was already unlocked and just to head in. It was then that Bonnie told us there were no locks at all on the boat. While this may be okay for some guest, as two females staying in an unfamiliar neighborhood on a shared dock in the main town we felt uncomfortable sleeping with no proper locks on the boat. This was not advertised in the listing or we would not have booked. We sat for a while debating whether we should stay but decided we would just not feel comfortable staying there and called Bonnie. She told us there was a stick to lock the door from the inside but we just did not feel safe. The house boat itself is cute but the shared dock is in shabby condition and is shared with numerous boats with couches and chairs along the rickety floating dock. Bonnie told us there was a stove and a working shower. The stove was a propane camping stove and the shower has things stored in it. Bonnie said to text her if we planned on using the shower and she would have to explain further. Overall, if we had known all these detail a head of time it may have been fine or perhaps we would not have booked in the first place but in the end we didn't stay. Bonnie would not refund the cost of the nights rental, even for a partial refund. Airbnb later reimbursed us for our stay. Overall, this place was not for us, which saddens me cause it could have been a pleasant stay. If you choose to stay here ask lots of question first to ensure this space is actually a good fit for you.

Wow ! This weekend getaway completely blew away our expectations - my girlfriend and I had an absolutely wonderful time in Wakefield and (EMAIL HIDDEN)munication with Bonnie went smoothly and we were ready for a weekend of "Glamping", the River Den is unique, cozy and fun. We bbq'ed , drank wine on the rooftop deck and even got to go to take the boat house out for a spin with Denis (builder of the boat - and friendly neighbour!). You can tell the Bonnie and Denis put a lot of love into the River Den .. its really quite a special place to stay. Wakefield was a delight - the cafes, restaurants and bars are fantastic (special mention: Molo's, Aries, Kaffe 1870, Black Sheep) - its a hidden gem. We hiked in Gatineau Park, Biked along the gravel trails around Wakefield, and paddle boarded down river and back (thank you Expeditions Wakefield!).

Bonnie and Neil made us feel very welcome.We enjoyed our stay immensly and will definitely be back for a longer period.Hopefully we can meet Bonnie the next time.

Wonderful stay in a place we've never been. Wakefield is such a neat little town, fun to explore. Cool little place to stay. Definitely a memorable experience!

Really loved this place and it was inspiring to be on the water in such a well-built structure, you can feel that care was put into the construction of the place. I loved it, perfect cosy getaway.

This is a great place for a weekend get away! Great food in town and Bonnie is a lovely host and provided everything we needed for a warm cozy stay!

My girlfriends and I had an amazing stay at Yvan and Lorraine's home in Chelsea, Quebec. It was the perfect retreat after a relaxing day at the Nordik Spa. Yvan and Lorraine were incredibly friendly and kind as they welcomed us to their home upon our arrival. The space was gorgeous, cozy, clean and had everything we needed during our stay. Their retreat is very peaceful and located close to many attractions in the area. I highly recommend staying here if you get the chance, you will not be disappointed!

Notre séjour à La Retraite fut un succès! L'appartement est très chaleureux et d'un grand confort. Nous avons eu un coups de coeur pour l'emplacement bucolique, plus particulièrement pour la vue sur la rivière! Ici, on a pu profiter autant de la nature avec le Parc de la Gatineau à quelques jets de pierre de notre hébergement que des attraits touristiques avec Ottawa qui se trouve à moins 15 minutes en voiture. Nos hôtes Lorraine et Yvan étaient forts sympathiques et accueillants. Sans hésiter, nous recommandons fortement cet endroit.

Nous avons passé un très bon moment chez Yvan et Lorraine. La description sur le site correspond parfaitement au logement. Nous avons même profité d'une longue promenade le long de la rivière Gatineau sur une ancienne voie ferrée.

We had a very relaxing stay at Yvan and Lorraine's beautiful home. Very peaceful and scenic location in the countryside, yet only a 15-minute drive to central Ottawa-Gatineau. Five minutes from restaurants, cafes, pubs, groceries in Chelsea and Old Chelsea. On the doorstep of beautiful Parc Gatineau. The apartment is very comfortable, well-equipped and spotlessly clean. Yvan and Lorraine were extremely warm, responsive and welcoming hosts. Great value. We highly recommend a stay here!

Lorraine and Yvan's apartment definitely is the best ever for us to choose for our holiday vacation! The house and all the equipments are all even brand new! Warm and cozy environment relaxed our minds, and for our kids, they spent almost all the spare time with feeding the chicken and rabbits! We were so surprised when we saw the lake and hills through the romm windows, it looks like we can touch the scene if we stretched our hands... Lorraine and Yvan made the whole house comfortable and livable, and could solve our extra requirements happily. And they warmly recommended the scene attractions and tips for the trip there, for us, that was so grateful since we were new to Quebec and Ottawa! We whole family love this house , and the dear couple, Lorraine and Yvan! Thank you!

Très confortable, d'une propreté exemplaire et super fonctionnel. Les hôtes sont attentionnés et bien sympathiques. Notre fils à bien aimé nourrir les poules et les lapins! La vue est magnifique et l'endroit est calme. L'endroit parfait pour un séjour paisible en famille, sans aucun soucis.

Great hosts! Was able to relax and enjoy a great few days. Thanks!

Melanie, our host, made a point of taking the time to tour the apartment with us so that we understood everything that was available. She was also very helpful in helping us avert a problem with a near flat tire that we had gotten while traveling to Ottawa by providing an automatic air pump.

Beautiful private cabin with a lovely bedroom and full living room, dining area and kitchen. The views are amazing from all windows. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

We really enjoyed this cozy little retest. Privacy and comfort in the forest away from the busy city life!

The perfect spot for a cozy, romantic getaway! We loved the peace and quiet, and the gorgeous views of snow-covered forest from all the windows. Lots of little touches made for a cozy atmosphere, like candles everywhere and the electric fireplace. Mélanie was very accommodating with our check-in time and was always available via SMS to answer our questions.

This place is situated on top of a hill, lending great views from the windows. I caught a gorgeous sunset one morning and was able to see the stars at night. The place is divided across two floors (bedroom downstairs), which is great if someone needs to take a nap in the afternoon, or likes to sleep in. The living and dining areas are very cozy, with tall windows to north that let in a lot of natural light. Melanie was very pleasant and super responsive over email/ text. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful locaction, perfect for after a relaxing day at the spa. clean, cozy, comfortable bed. We loved it! Host responded quickly and made it very easy to check in and ask questions.

Great spot for a winter retreat!!! Everything is so close by....Will definitely come back again.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Melanie's place. The apartment was quiet and private, the kitchen was well equipped, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was lovely. Melanie met us upon arrival and gave us some recommendations of places to eat and hike in Chelsea. The apartment was just a short drive to Chelsea, the Parc Gatineau and Wakefield. We would definitely return!

房主很热情有礼,安排也很有弹性方便入住。环境不错的房子,喜欢清幽的房友可以小住几天。要有车子和GPS导航。

Sean's place was fantastic! So peaceful with the living room overlooking the snow covered trees. It was everything we were looking for. Thanks again Sean!

Wow, what a fabulous home. Treehouse is a perfect description. I loved being at the height of the trees listening to the birds. Everything about Sean's place was dreamy. I can't wait to return again. Just perfect for anyone looking for a staycation just outsite of Ottawa. Hiking around the lake in nearby Gatineau was the best part.

Sean a été super réactif et prévenant, vraiment sympathique. Son chalet est bien plus spacieux et beaucoup plus beau que sur les photos, pour un tarif très raisonnable. Idéal pour une fin de semaine relaxe dans le bois. Merci Sean !

We stayed for one night in Sean's place and had a wonderful time. The listing description was accurate and the area was beautiful. Sean had cleared the driveway for us after a huge snowstorm to which we were most grateful! He made us feel very welcome by preparing the fireplace for us so all we had to do was light the fire. There were also many brochures about the surrounding area left out on the table and we visited a couple of those places.

Vraiment super !! Sean a été super cool et tout s'est bien passé. La maison est très bien - connaissant le coin - en plus en Novembre, plus de feuilles dans les arbres, et plus froid, Sean nous a apporté des buches pour faire du feu dans la cheminée !!! Un petit plus a ajouter : nous sommes restés plusieurs jours et non une nuit, donc "cuisine à la maison" ... tout ce qu'il faut est là - c'est une grande poêle qui manque en plus pour faire la cuisine pour 4 à 6 personnes ..!!!... Sean work on it !!! Nous recommandons la "tree house" à tous ceux qui n'ont n'a peur d'une vraie expérience dans la nature à proximité de la capitale nationale !!

I loved how quiet, secluded, clean it was. Especially enjoyed the eco-friendly products and that it was very zen and had great art and a room to practice meditation and/or yoga.

Sean made us feel extremely welcome and the listing was exactly what was expected from the description. A wonderfully peaceful and comfortable experience and our only regret was we didn't have more time to spend there. We would whole-heartedly recommend this location to anyone who is looking for peace, nature or meditative experience so very close to Ottawa but felt like light years away.

It was a very pleasant stay in all. Olga was extremely helpful in every way with lots of info about the area and giving us pointers about Ottawa too, where to park, eat, museums etc. The accommodation is just as described, the place is very cosy, homely and the guest room a good size with a very comfy queen bed. It is in the forest, just outside Chelsea and with easy access. We especially loved how Olga spent time with us in the evenings, chatting over tea and even playing board games as we don't go out much after a day of activity. We truly enjoyed each others company. We will definitely stay there again on our travels in Ontario.

Olga was very informative and helpful for tips around the area. She went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. She was very flexible as to check in and out time.

Olga was a very generous and sweet host! Her place is very easy to find, very quiet and cozy. Olga made us feel very welcome and warm for the one night we were there, and she was very flexible with our arrival/departure time. It was a wonderful stay - thank you so much!

This was a lovely place to stay, laid back and welcoming. It's in a nice location for exploring the Ottawa/Gatineau region as it is at the close end of Gatineau Park. I liked the simplicity of the place, and that it was tucked in the woods but not too far from the highway, etc. Olga was very accommodating and helpful, and a good conversationalist, too. I would definitely stay there again.

We found Olga's house in the woods in the dark! Lovely dinner close by at a beautiful restaurant, Les Fougères. Olga was volunteering at an event so we let ourselves in and settled. We met Olga in the morning. She is a lovely person.

Just as described - a warm, cosy cottage in the woods, feeling miles away from everything but actually only 10 mins from Le Nordik & even closer to Chelsea. Olga is a great host, friendly & chatty - she even helped me get my (non-winter tire) car out of the snow!

Olga was the most amazing host! She treated us like her family! Her home is extremely cozy, with a wonderful fireplace and so much nature around. We had such a relaxing time and definitely plan on going back very soon! Olga has a heart of gold and if you are looking for a relaxing and nourishing experience, I highly recommend staying in her beautiful home!

My partner Jackie and I had a wonderful stay with Olga in a Cozy house and an extremely pleasant atmosphere. A mixture of quite times and enjoyable conversation enhanced our trip, much more than expected. Our last minute preparations were well received and we were warmly greeted. Mornings brought a special treat of watching not only birds but a variety of squirrels while enjoying a delicious breakfast. Olga's artistic sense made a beautifully decorated home of which we felt part of. Her knowledge of the surrounding community made us wish we had more time to stay for a multitude of events. Her home in the woods is truly a gift that is openly shared. Thank you so much so much for a warm welcome a sharing a part of each others lives.

Shahram and Julie were very accommodating and made themselves available to assist with anything my partner, dog and I needed. The residence was perfect for what we were looking for: a cozy cabin in a tranquil environment with all the amenities of our city home. The fact that Gatineau Park, full of scenic hiking trails was close by, made this the perfect getaway for nature lovers such as ourselves. We will definitely be coming back.

Cute little chalet was perfect for our stay (4 girls). The place was clean when we arrived and stocked full of the amenities that were promised (clean towels, kitchen equipment). Tea and coffee was also provided when we arrived which was a nice little surprise. Host was great at answering any questions promptly.

Great place. Fast reply from renter for any questions I had. Very accommodating and cozy with all the small stuff that make your stay a great night.

Wow! What a lovely stay. Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Beds were so comfortable. The space was spotless. It was so cozy and wonderful. Would definitely stay here again. Our hosts were so kind and accommodating. Thank you!

Beautiful bright chalet, we really enjoyed our experience and would happily stay again.

Beautiful clean place and very nice host Shahram and Julie. Loved their place... everything was perfect beyond our expectation.

Séjour fantastique. Les hôtes répondent aux questions et aux demandes dans un temps record. Leur maison est un petit paradis. Je n'avais plus envie de partir. Merci à Shahram et Julie.

Auberge Brunett is just perfect! The cottage is super comfy, very well furnished and stylish. The wooded hills made for a very nice Christmas setting and the fully equipped kitchen gave us the opportunity to cook a 4 course feast. Good bedding, vast and modern washroom with ample plush towels...we didn't want to leave! Thanks Shahram and Julie!

Chez Maïlin tout est pensé pour que vous vous sentiez comme chez vous. Un endroit cosy et chaleureux tout comme l'accueil de Maïlin qui a su être de bon conseil sur les balades à faire sur le parc de la Gatineau. Nous recommandons ce AirBnB à n'importe qui voulant se trouver en pleine nature. PS : le chien Tuktu est vraiment adorable. Le chat siamois est très discret

Mailin a été une hôte remarquable! Elle nous a fait d'excellentes recommandations sur les commerces et les sentiers dans les environs! L'appartement est chaleureux, bien aménagé avec tout le nécessaire pour cuisiner et merveilleusement bien situé tout près du joli village de Wakefield mais juste assez retiré pour profiter du calme. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié de pourvoir prendre le café au soleil le matin sur l'une des deux terrasses... et d'apprécier la magnifique vue sur la rivière et les feuilles de toutes les couleurs! Nous nous y sommes vraiment sentis comme chez nous! Nous serons assurément de retour au Gatineau River Retreat!

Mailin was a very kind and accommodating host. The apartment was lovely and very private. The kitchen was fully functional and helpful items were provided. Very close to the river. We were always able to communicate with Mailin easily.

I had a wonderful Easter week end at Maïlin's place. The bed is very comfortable and it is wonderfully quiet, making it perfect to recharge. Gatineau Park is just around the corner for great hikes, and the village of Wakefield is very close as well. I will certainly be back for a week end away surrounded by trees.

Beautiful location, close to the Nordik Spa, Wakefield, Chelsea, Ottawa and a very comfortable and serene place to stay. Mailin is an excellent host.

Maïlin’s upper-floor apartment was such a great stay. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the quietness, and nature. The trail beside the river close by was stunningly beautiful and a must-do in any season. It is not particularly close to amenities, but if you're looking for somewhere more remote and secluded, it is perfect. We got exactly what we hoped for.

Beautiful stay at a wonderful Gatineau park retreat! Mailin was extremely welcoming, showed us everything we needed to know, told us all about the Wakefield farmer's market which was a great stop during our weekend. I highly recommend having brunch in town after the market, some great spots along the water to sip your coffee! The house is clean, charming and outfitted with two decks to enjoy the sunset. The dock on the lake is a very short walk from the house, very clean and quiet. Would highly recommend!

We were warmly welcomed by Mailin, who showed us around and shared her knowledge of the area giving us plenty to think about in terms of what to see and do over two and a half days. The place itself is truly lovely, well appointed and spotless! We were relieved to find that such an important thing as a hair dryer was available along with other toiletries...just in case one forgot something! We both found that very thoughtful. We loved sitting outside on the balcony enjoying the view. All in all a peaceful respite from the hullabaloo of our daily routines. We would definitely go back.

Heiwa and Inam is a kind couple ! They are really nice, available. The house is zen and the bed really comfortable. I advise every future host to taste their homemade and healthy breakfast, that's really cool.

Heiwa is a wonderful host with such a kind spirit! Her beautiful home is very clean and in a great location for wonderful views. I really enjoyed meeting Heiwa and I can't wait to join her for a yoga session next time I am in the area :)

我们在Jozef的家里度过了非常愉快的一个夜晚,那里环境优美、安静,厨房设备齐全,令人振奋的是我们在那里看到了血月亮。

Great place for a quiet weekend, supplies are close by. The host answers promptly. Would definitely go back.

Beautiful cottage right down the street from Edelweiss. Well equipped with everything we needed! Great place to stay!

A great place and a great experience! I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

This place was amazing! Went up there with friends and family, and we had an amazing time. Jozef was incredibly nice and helpful. We didn't have any issues, but I'm sure if we did, he would have solved the issue immediately. The cabin was great, even better than it looks in the pictures, which I didn't think was possible. Everything we needed was provided. If I'm ever in the area again, I will be sure to try to book this place again.

We had a great time at Jozef's place, with four adults and two kids. The cottage is spacious and beautiful, with a really nice, central fireplace. We loved the fact that it was only a short, five minute walk to Edelweiss ski hill and a short drive to Wakefield, where we took in a great show at the Black Sheep Inn. This cottage is perfect for a civilized, rather than rustic, getaway. If you are looking for a deep-woods experience, with hiking and walking trails at your fingertips, this might not be for you. But if you are looking for a comfortable, beautiful chalet with a great view, next to the slopes, a conveniently short drive (40 minutes) from Ottawa and right next to a beautiful town (Wakefield), this would be a great fit.

Had a wonderful weekend at the chalet. Host responses to questions were all excellent and timely. Beautiful location that is well maintained and a joy to stay at.

We had a wonderful time. The cottage was clean and had everything we could ask for. The location is beautiful and convenient.

Marie was wonderful, she made our stay absolutely magical. The pictures don't do her charming cottage justice. We will definitely be repeat visitors! We left a bunch of eats and treats behind for the next guests as we found it so comforting to have food already there when we arrived. Thank you so much Marie!

Marie's cottage was gorgeous- really homey and bohemian. Chelsea is a lovely town with a tonne of nature to explore and the cottage was the perfect place to take it all in!

Marie's cottage was just like the pictures-- very cozy and welcoming, perfect for a getaway. Marie was a very good, helpful host!

Lovely little cottage in the heart of Chelsea, minutes from the park visitor centre. If I had a cottage this is how I would like it to look. Hot tub was great as was sitting on the large deck drinking coffee in the morning. All the amenities you need are there, pots, pans, dishes.

Very cute little cottage close to the Gatineau Park and little villages in the beautiful Outaouais region Very comfy space where one feels like at home. We spent a very nice (albeit too short) week-end in Marie's charming cottage.

Nous nous sommes tout de suite sentis chez nous dans la maison de Marie, qui est chaleureuse, très bien décorée, bien équipée, spacieuse et très propre. Le cadre est vraiment magique et correspondait à nos attentes, et Marie a tout fait pour faciliter notre arrivée et rendre notre séjour très confortable. Le logement idéal pour une belle expérience canadienne!

Truly a beautiful, quaint cottage. The forest backdrop was serene and private. The cottage itself had all of the amenities (and more) to make our stay comfortable. Mike was more than patient with all of my inquiries and was helpful during our stay. A very enjoyable stay!

Tree nested cabin. Reasonably close to the 2 lakes in Gatineau park. Great for a get away from Ottawa - short drive. Loved the forest in the rear of the cabin.

Rita was a great host! She gave us lots of great activity ideas in and around the area. The house is close to many trails and the dock is perfect for relaxing

We enjoyed our two night stay at Rita's home and found the apartment to be very convenient, especially to visiting family in Wakefield. Waking up in the morning to see the beautiful river flowing by was a real treat. Rita is a warm and friendly host, and we would love to return on a future visit to the area.

Rita's home was very comfortable and clean. She was incredibly friendly and full of suggestions. We had a really great stay with her!

L'appartement est très bien situé , proximité de Ottawa, du parc gatineau des lacs et du joli village de wakefield. Spacieux, avec un ponton idéal pour refaire le monde au bord de la rivière, Merci Rita pour l'accueil !

We liked the housing, it is so nice as in the photos. It is an ideal place to rest and enjoy the lake. Rita is nice. We recommend it El alojamiento es muy bonito sobre todo por el entorno que tiene, el lago y el muelle son geniales. Rita es simpática y habla muy bien español.

Lovely space in a beautiful location. Close to the Black Sheep Inn for great entertainment, and perfect for winter activities. Will book again!

It was great to meet Rita on our recent visit to Chelsea. We spent five days in the area and the apartment was perfectly suited to our needs. Rita (& her friend Yvon) were extremely helpful - offering suggestions about upcoming activities in the area, including places to eat and enjoy the local entertainment. Also, advice on hiking trails that started right from the backyard! Awesome place, lovely hospitable host.

Rita was a fantastic host. The basement apartment offered a good deal of privacy. We ended up with rainy weather when we were there so we didn't get to take advantage of all of the nature around us, but Rita mentioned a walking trail in behind the house and it was great having the dock right across the street. And I even walked away with a cucumber from Rita's garden!

Cosy apartment that feels like home. Bohemian decor inspires. Attention to practical details (eg containers for leftovers) make the place very liveable. A nice selection of bath toys, games, and movies made my kids feel at home. Location not far from Old Chelsea makes it convenient to explore the area. Host Heidi is both attentive and discreet. Recommended.

We enjoyed this location very much. Close to the city but feels like you are at the cottage. Can't beat value for money. Heidi lives upstairs so was available right away whenever we needed anything. The rental was spacious and had all the basics. Stayed nice and cool at night during a hot summers day. All the towels and linens were clean. Only disappointment was that the floors and the bathroom were not as clean as I would have expected. Heidi was lovely and had lots of knowledge of the area as to where to visit and go hiking / to the lake / beach.

I really enjoyed staying at Heidi's place in the Gatineau Hills. The location is perfect. The apartment and the neighborhood in general have a "cottage country feel" and the ambiance is very relaxing. At the same time, it only takes a good 20 minutes to reach downtown Ottawa by car, so it's perfect. Heidi is a great hostess. She communicates promptly and really goes out of her way to make you feel at home. Very accommodating! I recommend staying at her place highly.

Heidi's place was clean and comfortable and worked well for us - one couple and two singles. Loved the warm colours and homey feel. Vorlage ski hill was only a 15 minute drive.

Our week in Heidi’s apartment was even better than we expected: the basement apartment was spacious, comfortable and well-equipped; it was cool on very hot days, but had good heating for cold nights. The location is lovely: it’s in a peaceful, private country setting, near to beautiful places to walk and hike in the Gatineau, but it’s only a 20/30 minute drive to downtown Ottawa. The nearest supermarket and restaurants in Chelsea are about a 10-minute drive awa(URL HIDDEN) Heidi is a lovely and interesting host and very generous – we were able to use her washer and dryer, and to bring friends to lunch on her deck when the sun had moved away from the comfortable deck outside her guest apartment. Three of us spent a relaxing week there and would definitely come back.

Very comfortable place in a great location. Heidi's place is situated on a small acreage in beautiful countryside. Location provides easy access to Gatineau park, Nordic Spa, Wakefield - Also very easy access to downtown Ottawa on good roads with light traffic. Amazing cross country skiing in nearby Gatineau Park. Heidi was very helpful with advice and maps about things to do in the area.

it was great! really convenient / relaxing location, wonderful but non-intrusive host, very great :)

Ideal spot for my visit. Lovely kept spot, lots of room and well equipped. Will use again.

Emplacement parfait et hôte très fiable et attentif. On reviendra !

The host canceled this reservation 82 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Lovely family and gorgeous house in a beautiful wooded setting. They are a young family so if you need quiet beyond 7 am book the getaway room downstairs. The forest room is on the main floor by the kitchen and front door so you will hear the young chatter. We had a lovely visit with the hosts and went for a lovely walk to a waterfall the next day. Upon arriving and having walked all over ottawa it was great to have a soak in the hot tub. We came as guests and left as friends who hope to meet again.

We had absolutely awesome two days at Jacki and Eric's dream house, from the response time to our short notice booking (same day), the warm welcome, totally comfortable getaway, a home away from home to the amazing hot tub. Everything was perfect! We Highly recommend this beautiful place, hosts and surroundings. Ursula and Adrian

Eric and Jacki were immensely helpful and thoughtful! It was very clear that if we needed any help, we could contact them at any time -- as they were away during our stay. The house was spotless and absolutely gorgeous. The room was beautiful and we were so grateful for the delicious maple syrup left for us! Chelsea is a wonderful place to get away, with so many trees and silence in the air, and Old Chelsea is a cute little place to walk around and enjoy. I would recommend Eric and Jackie's AirBnb to anyone!

Even though Jacki and Eric were away when we stayed at their house, they were wonderful at making sure everything was ready for our visit. Their house is very comfortable and beautiful. My daughter enjoyed playing with the toys, and it helped us out with reducing what we needed to bring. A wonderful stay! Many thanks.

Éric et Jackie nous ont accueillis avec beaucoup de gentillesse. Leur maison est magnifique. Un véritable hâvre de paix. Ils ont été très soucieux de notre bien-être. Nous avons passé un moment délicieux dans leur spa. Le matin, nous avons discuté avec toute la petite famille autour d'un café gentiment offert. Ce fut pour nous un véritable moment de détente et un moment riche en échanges. Une excellente adresse.

Eric and Jacki were the perfect hosts! We felt very comfortable the minute we walked in. They made sure we had everything we needed, and recommended places to eat. Their place is very cozy, and the room downstairs is spacious with amazing views and access to hot tub. The house is about 5-10 minutes drive from Nordic Spa. We highly recommend staying at Eric and Jacki's place!

Erik, Jacki et leurs 2 fillettes ont été de merveilleux hôtes. Ils sont très accueillants et supers sympathiques. Nous avons passés 2 journées remplies d'activités à proximité et 2 nuits très confortables dans leur magnifique maison. Le lit est très douillet. L'endroit est paisible et l'accès au spa donnant sur la forêt est réellement agréable. À 5 minutes en voiture, il y a le village de Chelsea avec ses petits cafés et restaurants ainsi que le spa Nordik. Plusieurs sentiers de marches ainsi que Camp Fortune pour le vélo de montagne se trouve à moins de 10 minutes en voiture de la maison. Nous avons passé une très agréable fin de semaine. Merci encore à Eric et Jacki et à bientôt j'espère.

Wonderful home and delightful family. Communication was speedy and clear, access was simple, felt very welcome, and the bed was super comfy. Will certainly stay here again.

Nous avions l'habitude d'utiliser l'hébergement en hotel. Quelle ne fut pas notre surprise de constater les avantages dépassants grandement ceux des services hôteliers. Majda et son conjoint nous ont chaleureusement accueilli. Ils ont eu la gentillesse de nous accommoder quant à l'heure d'arrivée. Le logement était spacieux, décoré avec goût et d'une propreté impeccable. Nous avons été touchés par les délicates attentions (breuvages, barres tendres, savon artisanal...). Le déjeuner était très bien. Non seulement Majda est une hôte hors pair, mais elle est aussi une très bonne guide touristique. Nous recevions même l'information par message texte. Notre séjour fut court, mais particulièrement agréable. Nous y reviendrons certainement l'an prochain pour le tournoi de soccer de nos filles.

Very kind and respectable hosts. Breakfast and bed were both great and truly appreciated!

Very accommodating wonderful hosts! The place is beautiful and very clean. Thanks for breakfast it was great!

Le logement correspondait en tout point à la description. Nous avons été bien reçu. Le petit déjeuner était apprécié.

Great place! Didn't meet Majda, but talked to her on the phone & her husband arrived quickly to help setting up the TV... great wi-fi; the snacks & breakfast were a surprise! Comfy bed, great shower/towels/shampoo... bring your own soap. Also, there are only coffee cups, no glasses/cups... But this place is soooo big; if you are travelling with more than 3 people, there is room for at least 4--3 beds! I would stay here again if I was travelling with my kids; for sure.

Clean, comfortable close to parliament hill. Defiantly will book again

Majda and her husband were very welcoming. The unit was as described and idendical to pictures. It was also very clean. Bed was comfy. They provided everything we needed. Would definitly stay there again.

Majda and Frederick's place was great for our one night stay in Ottawa. The place is clean, spacious, modern and has all you need. It's just like the photos. Majda was quick to respond and flexible with arrival time which was helpful. When we did arrive she was welcoming, showed us around and the place feels very much like it's your own separate area. I would note that we had a car and it seemed it might be a little tricky if you were heading there without one as the public transport/uber coverage wasn't abundant. Especially if you were thinking of a night out in Ottawa (perhaps aim somewhere closer to the centre if that's your plan). But it suited our stay and it worked out as a perfect starting point for heading to Gatineau Park in the morning. Also, the breakfast was excellent. Thanks Madja!

Très beau loft, moderne et propre. Très bien situé à 15 minutes d'Ottawa ou du parc de la Gatineau. Nous n'hésiterions pas à revenir pour nos prochains week-end à Ottawa !

Hands down, the most beautiful place we've seen in Canada, the area is beautiful, peaceful. The apartment is a gorgeous modern place and our stay there was extremely enjoyable. Thank you Richard for a wonderful memorable trip!

The loft is very well laid out; well stocked kitchen, full laundry and nice big shower. Grocery store, pharmacy and some restaurants just a few minutes drive away. Nice and quiet; it's separate from the main house. Parking right in front and no stairs!!! Loft style floor so you may want to bring slippers. Convenient to get to Gatineau; very close to the Spa Nordique and parks area. We will definitely stay again next time we're in the area.
