I just purchased a one bedroom Week 24 on Ebay for (get this) $1.26. I am familiar with and like the resort's location; the June week is fine as the horses are running at Ruidoso Downs; a one bedroom suits my needs; and the last TUG review seems ok.

I have seen the resort many times from the outside but have never been inside a unit. Any observations re the quality of the rooms, etc. will be appreciated. Note that I am not looking for luxury. Clean and functional is fine.

Thanks,

GEORGE

Someone must know something about this place other than its location. Need help please.

Pinecliff Village Update

Hi George,

I have owned at Pinecliff Village since 2001. Similar to you, I got my week at PV off eBay as well. Except I paid $99 for it. It was then and still is a bargain despite the industry wide across-the-board increases in dreaded maintenance fees.

The single most probable gotcha is that it is a 2 bedroom, ONE bath. Other than that, they have worked hard to make many improvements. Trust me, I am not parroting the management corporation.

It seems clear that they want a relationship, not a way for clever traders to take advantage. I had an ad for my unit here at TUG2.

Back to your original question. PV absolutely meets your requirements of Clean and Functional, if you hadn't already guessed that. I've been to places which cost me twice as much for half the amenities and double the excuses for not having them.

Some luxuries can be found there, anyway.

Mike
