A week in a 2-bedroom condo at Crown Point in Ruidoso, New Mexico
A timeshare owner on TUG has cut the price of a 2-bedroom suite at Crown Point Condos in Ruidoso, New Mexico for Nov 6–13, 2026 to $285 for the week (posted Oct 19). With New Mexico lodging taxes we estimate at about 14%, that's roughly $325, or about $46 a night. The middle price of seven 2-bedroom vacation rentals Google showed in Ruidoso for the same dates was $1,195.
- 7 nights in a 2-bedroom suite
