Our hosts (including their two dogs Milo and Enzo) were friendly and welcoming throughout our entire two week stay. They offered suggestions on places to go and things to do, which we found very helpful. Their advice on availability of fresh seafood, and tremendous help in obtaining and preparing fresh lobster, made a real difference to our trip.The highlight for us was the location, which was right at the shore, allowing us to enjoy uninterrupted ocean views, and listen to the waves. Beautiful, no matter what the weather.It is very obvious the owners take great pride in what they have created here, and rightly so. Their tremendous landscaping efforts are clearly a labour of love.We had never been to Nova Scotia, and certainly will be returning.

Beautiful stay with a panoramic view

First, just a beautiful place inside and out. As my wife and I like to cook, we can say this was the best equipped kitchen we've cooked in, and you can watch the sea as you do it. We had a great time relaxing and reading, watching the lobster boats at work.

Fantastic Cottage and Location

This cottage was fantastic, very clean, well furnished and decorated with a relaxing feel. Right on the ocean for great views, sounds and sunsets. Paul and Heidi were excellent hosts and so were Milo and Enzo the wonderful furry (dogs) attendants making sure we had everything needed. We would recommend this cottage to anyone and would certainly stay again when in the area.

Fantastic Slice of Paradise!!

Paul and Heidi are fantastic hosts. We were greeted by 2 friendly dogs and Paul offered us delicious Lobster bisque and freshly cooked lobsters upon revival. The kitchen is well equipped with everything thing you need. The view is fantastic. This is the perfect place to relax and recharge your mind and body. If you like relaxing vacations with great views and sunsets I cannot recommend Paul’s place enough.

If I had know how wonderful this was, I would have booked it for a lifetime!

WOW!!!!! The house is absolutely gorgeous and the host, Paul, so genuine and welcoming. It was a cold day when we arrived and he had a fire in the fireplace, nice music playing, candles in the windows, and string lights on outside. Felt like home as soon as we walked in. The house is beautifully decorated, very comfortable and well appointed. Being dog lovers (especially Goldens in my case), it was an extra treat to be greeted by Enzo and Milo and watch some of their antics. Being cold and rainy some of the time, we really enjoyed the fireplace with coffee to start the day and wine after our hiking adventures. Paul was especially gracious to order lobsters for us, steam them, bring them over, and “chop” them so we could pick the sweet meat out. He is truly a gem of a host and we would definitely stay there again. Our only regret is that we didn’t meet his wife Cathie because we expect she is as special as he is.

Xanadu checks every box. At least for me it does: Peace, comfort, amenities (if you even need them) and a panoramic landscape worthy of the highest quality “clip art”.Heidi and Paul are gracious, reasonable and friendly hosts. If you looked up ‘Escape’ in the dictionary, there could be a picture of this place. The dogs are definitely a bonus. Initially curious and protective. They immediately adopt the guest as ‘family’. Waking up to them guarding you and the owners will add to your natural euphoria that this place provides. Don’t worry if you forgot the book you planned on reading. They’ve got that covered too with a full library. Everyone comes here with a story and a background. Thank you Paul and Heidi for providing whatever we were looking to find.

An amazing, tranquil cottage right on the cliffs of the Northumberland Straits in Nova Scotia. It is remote and idyllic, perfect for those who are looking for a quiet and relaxing break from city life. Hosts Paul and Heidi were welcoming, informative, and gracious. Would definitely want to come back.
