We stayed at the Chocolate Turtle two years ago and loved it then; it lived up to, and possibly surpassed, our expectations this time. Dallas and Nancy made us feel like returning friends.
There are 4 guest rooms, each with its own motif, and a lovely large living room with a cozy fireplace to be used by all complete with a computer to be shared. (There is also Wi Fi throughout.) A pleasant breakfast room adjoins with the possibility to make coffee or tea at any time, and it is stocked with soft drinks, water, ice, glassware, etc.
The decor is colorful and Southwestern in tone but with all the wonderful New Mexico accents that make it so special. The artwork is largely from local artisans. Because we were there just after the holiday season the house was decorated outside with luminaria and inside with multiple trees and lights. It was very festive.
Although it was too cold to sit outside this time we have enjoyed the large patio and yard in the past. One has a perfect unobstructed view of the mountains from the patio so it can be an ideal place to sip morning coffee or to watch for the resident roadrunner. The house sits on 1.5 acres so it feels spacious.
I think what makes this B & B so special is the attention to detail. Each morning the table setting as well as the food was different. It was so obvious that each element was chosen with care. And the food was delicious! We stayed 4 nights and each breakfast was wonderful and unique.
We are looking forward to returning to this "gem" in the artistic, quiet village of Corrales. The setting is peaceful and yet so close to Albuquerque's downtown or to Santa Fe.

“The best in the West!”
We put up our family at Chocolate Turtle for a 50th anniversary event. Each person who stayed raved about the quality of the accommodations, the food and the owners' friendly and helpful attitudes. On the last day the owners and staff prepared a brunch for 14...excellent food, excellent environment on the patio and excellent experience. Stay there!

“Beautiful Fall in Corrales”
This was our 4th or 5th stay at the Turtle. As always, it was delightful. Such a relaxing place, delicious breakfasts. Rooms so nicely appointed; not one detail missed! We always leave talking about our next stay there! Dallas & Nancy have made the Chocolate Turtle a magnificent bed & breakfast!
Room Tip: All the rooms are delightful. Our favorite is the Sandia, but all are comfortable & pleasant

“Just like family”
This is our second visit to the Chocolate Turtle. Dallas took very good care of us. You feel at home from the minute you step in. Dallas and Nancy feel like a part of our family. We will be back again.

“Great place”
I travel to Albuquerque every year to visit to family and decided to try a rural setting for my stay. Even thought I grew up in Old Town I have never spent any time in Corrales. Dallas & Nancy were away, but we were greeted by Barbara, who settled us in & made breakfast every morning. My sister stayed only one night but I was there for 4 nights. Every breakfast was delicious. I have stayed in many b&bs and this one has the most generous array of snacks & beverages available for guested that I have seen. Different baked goods were put out every day in addition to a large variety of other snack food. The property is beautiful - sensitively "xeriscaped" to respect the desert climate. The rooms were very comfortable and each had my favorite feature, a ceiling fan. And all of this for a very reasonable price. It is a bit of a drive into the city of Albuquerque, and rush hour traffic in Albuquerque is a horror. Nevertheless I did most of my driving in off hours and it was not a problem. The village of Coralles is quite rural (no street lights). When I was growing up in the '60's it was and still is an artist enclave with some interesting shops & galleries. There are pleasant places to eat a short drive from the b&b, particularly the Indigo Crow. I would stay here again, if only to have a chance to meet Dallas & Nancy. Highly recommended
Room Tip: I was in the Quail room which had the only bathtub & a fine desk.
