From the moment you drive up to your pueblo-style vacation home, El Tigre, you’ll know a great Southwestern mountain vacation awaits you. Located on the north side of Ruidoso, you’ll be close to the shops, restaurants and entertainment of this scenic mountain town. Plus, you’re within easy driving distance of the Ski Apache Resort, great fishing and hiking trails in the Lincoln National Forest. Best of all, your pets are welcome to join you at El Tigre! There’s a fenced backyard where they can romp to their heart’s content.

El Tigre has spaced out front for two cars to park. The unique entry to your split-level home is another fun aspect to staying at El Tigre. You enter the home through a tiled porch on the upper floor of the home, which is on the same level where your car is parked. On this level, you’ll find your primary bedroom and half bath. However, to reach the rest of your vacation home, go down the stairs into the open living space.

On the main, lower floor, there’s a spacious room that encompasses your living, dining and kitchen areas along with a ¾ bath. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout much of this space. Your main living area includes a comfortable couch and recliner both with a good view of your cable TV with DVD player. Gather your group around for a favorite movie or a game on the coffee table. You also have free Wi-Fi within El Tigre so you can check out websites for area attractions and send photos to friends back home.

The El Tigre kitchen is outfitted with a gas stove, stainless steel counters and all the serving and cookware you’ll need during your stay. Though there is no dishwasher, you have a large, deep sink, a microwave, toaster oven, refrigerator, and the all-important coffee pot.

There’s also a gas grill out on the deck so you can cook up some steaks or chicken for your group. Sliding glass doors lead out onto your deck and fenced yard.

Of course, there are a number of excellent restaurants in Ruidoso and you’ll probably want to visit these on many evenings.

If you do dine in at El Tigre, you’ll find a lovely round dining table with upholstered chairs next to the kitchen. This is a great place to gather for dinner or for a game of Uno or Bridge with your group.

When it’s time for bed, head up the stairs to your primary bedroom. With its king-sized bed and many windows out onto the forested area around El Tigre, you’ll fall in love with this restful retreat. Your room has its own wall-mounted flat-screen TV and ceiling fan to gently lull you off to dreamland.

When you wake up head in for a shower in the primary bathroom. In minutes you’ll be dressed and ready to enjoy your first cup of morning coffee.

If a guest travels with you to El Tigre, he or she can bed down on the double-bed futon in the main living area. The half bathroom, also on the ground floor level, is where you’ll find a washer and dryer. What a convenience this is. No visiting the Laundromat. Just start a load of wash and head off to visit the ski resort, golf course, or hiking trail.

El Tigre is an excellent destination year-round. However, if you visit in the colder months, we encourage you to bring a four-wheel drive vehicle or else put chains on your two-wheel drive vehicle. Ruidoso is a mountain town and the area gets snowy and icy. Come prepared.

Select your preferred dates for your El Tigre vacation and book soon. This is a cozy, mountain home that is popular with guests of all ages. Maximum 1 vehicle.

Please Note: A pet fee of $75 applies for each pet.

    So pretty. The river running right through the property was nice.

    Property has potential to be super nice with a little TLC from an actual handy man instead of whoever has been doing it. It is pet friendly but to get to the fenced in yard you have to go down 2 flights of stairs. It does say in the booking per fees may apply. The owner of the property, which is a major rental company, never detailed or listed in their co tract or online what the fees would be if any until we were loading up to head there. 75 per pet plus tax. None of which was communicated in the week prior. Kind of seemed like a gotcha fee type of deal in my opinion. Had to change out multiple light bulbs near or over the main stairs. There is also not a porch light for the patio/grill area. The kitchen says fully furnished but is short some items in my opinion. Have definitely stayed in worse places but also have stayed in better. Could also be the issues with the property owner/management prior to arrival for the possibly jaded review.

    This rental had no internet service and no TV service. I might as well have vacationed in a cave. The property manager said it was because of internet maintenance but I believe the owners cancelled their internet service to save money. Renter beware!

    The central air does not function. One portable a/c downstairs in family room/kitchen worked well for cooling but was so loud we couldn’t carry on a conversation or hear the TV. Upstairs portable a/c never worked for entire week. Therefore no sleeping in only bedroom in the house. We had to move the kingsize mattress downstairs and sleep on the floor the whole stay. It was very difficult to move the mattress given the angles of the staircase. Two repair people were sent out but neither could repair the upstairs a/c. On the plus side - we saw wild horses, deer, and elk from the property. There was a lot of mud in town from the flooding after the fires and the water main leak and the gas leak. And some of the roads were closed. Our last day, July 20, 2024 was right before another round of flooding. We worried we might be stuck there sleeping on the floor. The property management gave us a small refund for our troubles.

    We went to look at college and apartments there and stayed here because they allowed us to bring our pet family along with us. This house is very cute, we love the fenced in yard and we loved the location. I plan to stay here anytime I come to the area to visit my daughter.

    The facility is nice, quiet, but if you want to use a Roku device, it's not going to work, for there's no internet you can only watch what's on TV vía satélite and I have my own channels on my Roku, and computer which won't allow you to even pay your bills vía Internet

    Hot tub was one of the criteria in our filters. Somehow this property was included in our search and one reviewer marveled at the relaxing hot tub experience. Alas no hot tub. :'( This alone disappointed us but we also spent a couple hours cleaning. Dusting, sweeping, sanitizing, and rewashing dishes inside the home, picking up trash and poop outside and even pulling overgrown grass and weeds. Had I brought my tools, I would have tightened multiple loose legs on tables, handles on drawers and doorhandles. With some spackle and paint, I could have secured the broken toilet paper holder, patched some cracks and done some touch up painting. If I had only brought my carpet cleaner, I would have removed the numerous stains from the carpet. If it were my property, I would add a garbage disposal, a dishwasher, and replace the difficult blinds on the back door. The refrigerator(s) MUST be replaced! It took a while to remember we were on vacation! Once settled, we had a lovely stay! Quiet and private.

    Nice property, close to everything. Lots of wildlife in area, quiet and peaceful. Owners need to update kitchen utensils, pots and pans etc.
