New Lake Lucerne Guest Review

Filed under: Guest Reviews — Tags: , — Faryl @ 10:32 pm

It’s always fun to read reviews that our guests write about the Historic Cottages at Lake Lucerne.  They all have different “favorites” but the major theme is about relaxing and getting away.

New review:

“My wife and I have never been to Eureka Springs before. Although this time of year the town is relatively empty, and we happened to be there with cold overcast skies, none of that really mattered. We still had a great time. One of the best parts was the wonderful cabin (Cabin 2) and the friendliness of the owner. The place was comfortable and just pleasant to be in. It was incredibly relaxing. We are talking about coming back in the summer. With the little lake, and being in the shadow of a large tree-covered bluff, I bet it’ll be good times. ” Mar 12, 2011

Love Conquers All

The happy couple

Most of our guests at The Peabody House and The Inn at Rose Hall know we own Lake Lucerne Cottages and the lake by the same name.  Lake Lucerne is a small 6-acre lake two miles south of downtown Eureka Springs.

Over the past five years our guests have watched the waterfowl change from time to time on the lake depending upon the season.  Several years ago we became the owners of a flock of domestic geese that are noisy, territorial and possessive.  In spite of all of that they are very entertaining and we all love to watch their antics.

Last fall we wrote about the love affair between a Canadian goose that arrived one day in the spring and one of our domestic boys.  Everyone kept waiting to see if she would leave her lover and fly south when fall arrived.  She did not.  She stayed with her partner all winter and helped the others patrol the lake.  Another pair of Canadian geese arrived a week ago and she has no interest in them at all.  Wonder what spring will bring?
