Why people love visiting exciting Chelsea

Learn about the unique charm of Chelsea with a stay in a private vacation home. This cosmopolitan city is known for its skiing, camping and rock climbing. Whether you're planning a family holiday, romantic stay or friends trip, vacation rentals offer features like full kitchens and laundry facilities for a more convenient stay.

Swap Chelsea for high tea and woodland trails

Set on top of the Eardley Escarpment, the Champlain Lookout offers sweeping views over Gatineau Park. Anchoring the park is Mackenzie King Estate, which once served as a summer retreat for Canada's 10th prime minister. Today, visitors are welcome to explore the woodland trails, tour the historic cottages or enjoy a cup of Earl Grey at the elegant Mackenzie King Tearoom. From ceremonies to receptions, it's quickly emerging as one of Quebec's top wedding destinations. Thrill seekers will jump at the chance to explore Camp Fortune, a multipurpose park featuring downhill ski runs, ziplines and more.

Hit the Chelsea ski slopes

For most vacationers, Chelsea is all about rest, relaxation and reconnecting with nature. With over 200 kilometers of trails to explore, outdoor adventures are always within reach. After a long day on the trails, why not cool off with a dip at Lac La Peche beach? Things don't slow down in winter, when skiers descend on the park's alpine runs. Planning a ski break? With rustic decor, spacious living areas and steaming hot tubs, Chelsea vacation rentals make it easy to create your own apres-ski scene. Just add wine, cheese and music.

Long days and sunshine in Chelsea

Most visitors arrive in summer, when Chelsea enjoys long days and lashings of sunshine. From chic cottages on Gatineau River to waterfront cabins on Meech Lake, Chelsea vacation rentals make the most of the sunshine. Gatineau Park is particularly beautiful in fall, when its maple trees explode in a sea of reds, yellows and golds. The season peaks with the annual Fall Rhapsody Festival, which lures leaf-peepers from across North America. Expect guided walks, art exhibitions, live music and, of course, fiery fall foliage.

Escape the hustle and bustle in Chelsea

While it's just 15 minutes from downtown Ottawa, Chelsea feels worlds away from Canada's bustling capital city. The town sits in Gatineau Park, one of Quebec's signature green spaces. It covers a sprawling 36,000-hectare footprint and is dotted with over 50 freshwater lakes, not to mention streams, rivers and wetlands. While the forests are mostly maple, Gatineau Park is also brimming with rare eastern red cedars. Wildlife watchers will be in their element, with the chance to spot white-tailed deer, beavers and black bears.
