We love the Turtle House
The only issue was the level of hot water in the master shower. It seems like the nozzle is set to deliver water that is just a little warmer than warm. The sinks and other bathroom was fine.

Cute house with great backyard
The house was perfect for our stay in Albuquerque while we went on several winter birding excursions. The location was convenient to many hiking trails. We loved the backyard landscaping and the house was outfitted with everything we needed.

Great place
This was a great little house! The ability to use the garage made it feel like home (and kept the car cool!). The location is perfect, very close to trails and the Sandia peak while also being near enough to shopping that nothing felt inconvenient. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Albuquerque!

Fun little mini-vacation in Albuquerque
Met my Mom and brother here for a few days, since we each live in different corners of the USA, to explore ABQ and the surrounding areas. What a cute little house for a home base! Location was great, very safe and quiet, house was very clean and everything worked as it should. The back yard patio is such a great place to relax and drink coffee in the early morning hours. We highly recommend the Turtle House and would definitely stay there again if visiting ABQ!

Nice house.
Enjoyed staying in the Turtle House in Albuquerque. Was there almost two weeks. Great location and nicely equipped home. Two problems -- could not figure out the coffee pot and could not figure out how to use the tv system. When I tried to watch golf on CBS, the system wanted to charge a fee. Neither of these two issues was a big deal, just a minor inconvenience. The house, the garage and the neighborhood were not disappointing.

This adorable adobe-style house was roomy, clean, and inviting. The coffee/tea station and other little details were much appreciated! The courtyard area was my absolute favorite. I'll definitely book again when I'm back in Albuquerque visiting! Thanks so much for sharing your lovely home.

We had a great stay! It’s a very nice property with great landscaping! The air conditioning works which is important to us 😂. Comfortable leather couches and a very comfortable master bed. I accidentally booked for the wrong night and they quickly accommodated us to stay a night earlier!

Excellent Experience - Clean, Comfortable, Friendly, Good neighborhood
We loved the Turtle House. It actually was even better in real life vs. the great photos. We liked the friendly, home, tasteful style. Walked the neighborhood daily to the nearby park and arroyo. Close to stores, restaurants, and church. Excellent communication from the management company including when they came to cleanup leaves and do maintenance. Always gave us warning and accommodated our schedule. Would definitely stay there again.

The Turtlehouse - Tasteful and Thoughtful
The Turtlehouse is perfect! It had everything we needed so we could focus on family and friends. The Turtlehouse was cute, cozy, clean and secure (I appreciated the window locks!). If you are traveling during the winter months bring a pair of slippers! The tile floor can get chilly. The location is great! Lots of restaurants and familiar stores just minutes away. The neighborhood felt safe. Overall, this home was both tasteful and thoughtful to the needs of travelers. Thank you.
