I spent another relaxing trip at Eureka. The Hosts (Suzanne & Arnold) are terrific. They’re efficient, professional, and a joy to interact with. Due to their hospitality, it’s one of the reasons that I’ve returned to Eureka several times over the last few years. I hope Eureka stays open to the end of October next year so I can enjoy the fall colors near the Lake. So quiet and peaceful.
