Detailed Reviews
Spent a great night at Chelsea House Victorian Inn. Comfortable, quiet and pleasing to the eye. Breakfast was fantastic. Our hosts were accommodating and very instructive concerning access to our room as well as off street parking. If in the area Chelsea is a great small town do not hesitate to visit.

My fiancé and I stayed in the Carriage House the weekend of our wedding, which was also Halloween. Carla was so lovely and welcoming! Breakfast was delicious. I loved the Halloween decorations throughout the inn -- the entire weekend felt cozy and festive. The location is perfect for sampling nearby restaurants and exploring local shops. The Carriage House was the perfect refuge during the quiet moments of an otherwise jam-packed weekend. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!

Thank you so much for your review and we are happy you enjoyed your stay! How perfect to be married on Halloween (my personal favorite holiday as you could probably tell from the decorations)! I am glad you got to explore the city as well! Best wishes and Congratulations on your future together as husband and wife!

My husband and I stayed at the B&B for our wedding weekend. We had two rooms to allow us and our wedding party to get dressed on our wedding day, and both were very clean and spacious. Carla, the owner, also gave us the ok to use an additional room that wasn't booked to have more space to get ready in if needed, in addition to gifting us a bottle of wine on our wedding day- our first official wedding presents :-). The entire inn was very charming and comfortable. The room we stayed in, the Carriage House, was extremely spacious and comfortable, allowing us to relax and unwind amidst the craziness of the weekend. The breakfast was delicious, and very filling. We opted to have breakfast with our families the day after the wedding, but woke up to smelling the food being cooked and started to regret our choice :-). We live just about 30 minutes away, but may spend another weekend here just to be able to enjoy a little get away. I recommend Chelsea House to anyone visiting the are!

My boyfriend and I stayed at the inn over a weekend and I was blown away. The room we were in was beautiful and cozy, it felt like home the moment you entered the house.
We drove in and arrived late, the hosts had accommodations ready for us. Theres a passcode to let yourself into the house itself which made me feel very safe. I was very appreciative of the late check in options.
The downstairs is absolutely beautiful. There's a gorgeous living room, a dining room, and a parlor available for guests. The parlor had snacks, coffee, tea, and drinks available which was much needed after the long drive.
The room we stayed in was clean and well kept! Our bed was large and comfortable, there were plenty of pillow options. The bathroom looked like it had been recently redone. I felt very confident that the room was deep cleaned between guests.
The hosts let you pick one of two times for breakfast and let you decide whether you'd like to eat with other guests or just with your reservation party. I really appreciated these options. The breakfasts were hot and absolutely delicious, they were a fantastic way to start our days. I unfortunately double booked our last morning and we were unable to make our breakfast time. We went downstairs at the earlier and explained the situation to Carla, while apologizing she asked if we would like to eat at the earlier time and check out a bit earlier. Again, I was very appreciative of this. Although it was my mistake Carla was so gracious and quick to offer fixes for us.
The inn is right off main street of Chelsea and there's so much to see and do. Plenty of restaurants and stores to explore!
I'm already thinking about a return visit to Chelsea just so I stay here again!

I booked the Carriage House here as part of a surprise get-away for my husband's birthday. Carla was very welcoming when I checked in, asking about our plans to see if we needed maps or reservations. She filled us in on the breakfast menu and made special arrangements for my husband's breakfast. The Carriage House was spacious and beautifully decorated, including some antiques. We can't say enough about breakfast...simply scrumptious and artfully presented. We saw the new play at the Purple Rose Theater and had dinner at the Common Grill. It was an amazing get away and we can't wait to go back and see Carla and Steve at the Victorian Inn!

We have stayed at the Chelsea House many times over the years and have always been thrilled with our stay. This past weekend's stay was just as wonderful as all of our previous stays. Carla and Steve are friendly and accommodating hosts. The rooms are always clean and filled with all the amenities you would ever need. The public sitting rooms are warm and inviting with snacks and drinks available around the clock. And the breakfast is tasty and filling. We will continue to come back year after year for our annual pilgrimage to Chelsea!

We rented the whole Chelsea House Victorian Inn (all five available suites) as a place for both sides of the family to spend the night after a wedding party at the nearby Chelsea Depot. Carla was extremely accommodating and hospitable, and both she and Steve made a delicious and hearty breakfast the morning after! All details in the bedrooms, living room, dining areas, and general house exterior were wonderful and added a special charm to our evening and morning. Perfect for a couple's or small family's stay in Chelsea!

We so enjoyed our holiday visit to this beautiful inn! The owners made it so easy to access the inn, with timely communication and easy-to-use door codes for the inn and our individual suite. We enjoyed the comfy suite and the lovely coffee bar. If you are looking for a complete weekend getaway, go to dinner at the Common Grill (or other of the restaurants in downtown Chelsea) and book tickets to a play at the wonderful Purple Rose theater, a regional theater gem - all just steps from your door!

We stayed at the Chelsea House Victorian Inn on August 8, 2020. We stayed in the Glazier Suite and Carla took great care of us. This is a wonderful B&B! While in town we ate at both The Common Grill (Dinner) and Smokehouse 52 BBQ (Lunch) and walked the shops of downtown Chelsea, the well maintained neighborhood (don't miss the cemetery at sundown) and the newly installed Sculpture Walking Tour. I recommend all the above. We will definitely return.

This was the second time my wife and I stayed at the Chelsea House, and it won't be the last. Carla was a fantastic host and her breakfasts were amazing! We stayed in the Carriage House both times and loved it. It is a little one bedroom apartment separate from the main house, fully equipped with everything we needed. We were given the choice of eating breakfast in the main house or having it delivered to the Carriage House. There is plenty of parking and it is easy walking distance to everything in Chelsea - shopping, restaurants, bars and the Purple Rose Theatre.
