Throughly enjoyed our four nights at «Where Eagles Fly.» First of all the views from the redwood deck are amazing! You get a 180 of the entire lake, plus as the sun starts to set the whole scene changes. Secondly the owners! With it being a bed and breakfast this is probably one of the most important factors in a stay. Fred and Barbara were great hosts during our stay! It was evident that their main goal was for you to have a wonderful trouble free stay! They both were very accommodating and friendly, but not intrusive. Fred has a great dry whit and Barbara is a sweetheart! After the first day it felt more like we were staying with friends. Their little dog’s were cute and not a nuisance, they just wanted your love. Now to the accommodations, our room was large and very comfortable with beautiful furnishings and nice amenities. After doing my research before we booked, this by far was the best value to be found in the Lake Tahoe area! «Where Eagles Fly Bed and Breakfast» helped us to accomplish our goal, to unwind and relax! Thank you Fred and Barbara. Chris and Aleathia

OK, my wife and I just stayed at Where Eagles Fly this past Labor Day weekend. We had the best time and best stay at a B & B we have ever had in the Tahoe area. The house which was built by Fred the owner of this B & B is unbelievable. He built this house in the 1970’s by himself. Each room and each view is better than the one you just saw. The view he has is out of this world. We watched fireworks from both the south and north shores at the same time. It also by the way was the BEST deal we have had in the Tahoe area at a B & B. He just opened the house as a B & B earlier this year. Fred is a perfectionist, and he does not like when anything is not perfect. I think that comes from his childhood and life. If you have the time learn about Fred, he is unique, and has done many things in his life. He will become a better host at this B & B as times goes by. The complaints I read on Unilocal as very unfair and not valid. The one below about the soap being left over is only because they did not know where the fresh soap was on the shelf in the bathrooms. The food he offers for breakfast is a continental style, and help yourself. The coffee and tea are fresh and great. Fred does have 3 dogs who were so much fun to have around. They never bark, and also want to be loved by everyone. The posting by Captain B and L.T. just shows he must not like little dogs. There is NOSMELLOFURINE, unless L.T. did it himself. Sadly my wife and I only get up to Tahoe once a year, but you can bet we will be back next year at «Where Eagles Fly B & B. My thanks to both Fred and Barbara.

I hope this helps to balance out the other 2 reviews, as I don’t think they were entirely fair. This is an incredibly beautiful and unique home. The owner is eccentric, but we liked him. The view is amazing. I doubt you can find such an expansive view almost anywhere else on Tahoe. See my amateur panoramic pic. It is super quiet inside and out at this property. The soap/shampoo provided except for one were previously used, but honestly, is that really such a big deal? Just rinse off the bar of soap before using it… It’s… SOAP! It’s better than an almost new bar of soap being wasted and going to the landfill after each guest. Our room: The Dungeon :-) I suggested he change the name to the Tuscan Dungeon to more aptly describe it. It doesn’t have a view, but it’s beautifully rustic with a Tuscan flair. This coming from someone who has been to Italy. It also has a private bathroom with an amazing granite stonework shower(though the shower head needs to be angled down more), and a separate claw foot tub. 2 of the 5 rooms available share a bathroom, so keep that in mind while booking. He does have 3 tiny, adorable dogs. He is quick to clean up after them.

This otherwise beautiful home with a fantastic view of Lake Tahoe would have been the perfect place to stay if the owner didn’t allow his three small dogs in the home. They are ruining it. They appear to use the carpet and the decks as their toilet. The smell of urine is very noticeable in the common areas of this B & B. On both day of our stay, the dogs left their droppings on the deck. Also, I think that the rooms could be cleaned more thoroughly and fresh soap(not used by previous guests) and all of the half used small hotel sized bottles of lotion and shampoo should be tossed. It’s too bad the place is in such a state. I would recommend booking something in another location until the owner gets his act together.

We found this place on Expedia as a dog friendly bed and breakfast, and booked two nights. It only had a couple of reviews, and none on Unilocal,and no website, but we thought it seemed nice. We arrived to find an older man, presumably the owner, open the front door with his three dogs. He never greeted us in anyway and looked at us strangely. Immediately we could tell there was something off with this person. He looked at our small dog and said she wasn’t welcome in his rooms, and continuously stated how dogs pee on rugs, rambling like a mad man. We explained how we had booked a dog friendly room but he didn’t seem to care. Then he lifted one of his small dogs and carelessly tossed it across the hallway. At this point we were ready to escape but he told us to follow him to a room. But his mood quickly switched back and he started to mutter about how he couldn’t allow us to stay. We told him we were leaving and walked out, and he proceeded to follow us and berate us and our dog.
