- A wonderful exchange in a beautiful, quiet country setting and only a 20 minute drive to Ottawa. A wonderful location from which to explore the surrounding regions of Quebec and Ontario. A five minute drive to beautiful walking and bicycling trails in the Gatineau parks. Thanks Helene and Wilfrid for a wonderful exchange experience!

HOMELINKING SINCE 1994 (27 exchanges)
Located just 20 minutes from Ottawa/Gatineau, our house is very comfortable and well decorated; we have very nice and helpful neighbors. We also have a piano and a well-equipped exercise room in the basement. Just 2.5 hours from Montreal and 4 hours from Quebec city.
Our property is on a 1 acre lot with beautiful gardens overlooking the Gatineau River where we have a dock and a canoe for your use. Ideally located and appreciated by our past exchangers for the many cycling trails in Gatineau and Ottawa and for the beautiful walking trails in the nearby Gatineau Park. The villages of Old Chelsea and Wakefield are also favorites of ours for their bistros, market, art and music.
Notre maison est située sur la Rivière Gatineau sur un grand terrain paysagé avec des jardins de fleurs. A proximité d'Ottawa et de Gatineau, 2.5 heures de Montréal et 4h. de la ville de Québec. Notre région est idéale pour ses pistes cyclables tant du côté d'Ottawa que de Gatineau et pour les nombreux sentiers de marche dans le Parc de la Gatineau, situé à proximité de la maison. De plus les villages de Chelsea et de Wakefield sont charmants et appréciés de tous nos échangeurs pour les bistros, galleries d'art et musique. Nous avons un quai et un canot en bordure de la Rivière Gatineau et dans la maison un piano et une salle d'exercice au sous-sol.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Chelsea, Québec est un endroit idéal (le meilleur de deux mondes) tout près des pistes cyclables d'Ottawa et de Gatineau et des sentiers récréatifs du Parc de la Gatineau. Nos voisins sont très sympathiques et disposés à fournir des renseignements si nécessaire. La proximité des villages de Old Chelsea et de Wakefield plait à tous nos échangeurs pour les bistros, galleries d'art, musique. Les villes d'Ottawa (Capitale du Canada) et de Gatineau offrent musées, marché public, art et musique et toute une panoplie d'évènements annuels.
Chelsea, Québec is ideally situated with its walking and cycling trails, and just 20 minutes from Ottawa Canada's Capital with its museums, art galleries, an open air market and interesting architecture. (Parliament bldgs, Universities, Churches).
Early Fall in Quebec is beautiful with the changing colors of the leaves. We are close to the Gatineau Park, one of Canada's best rated National Park.
We are also about 15 minutes away by car from Old Chelsea and Wakefield, two quaint old villages filled with artisan shops and small restaurants; past exchangers have declared these one of their favorite stops. We are also close to many golf courses.
