“Excellent Service and Perfect Powder”
+Alta's Rustler Lodge looks like an old ski lodge from a bygone era, but it has all the luxurious modern amenities that one could hope for. The high quality service begins upon arrival when a nice young man takes your ski bag off the shuttle van, unpacks your skis into your personal ski locker, and then folds the bag and brings it to your room. Personalized, friendly service is the Rustler's hallmark. I write "nice young man" because most of the Rustler's staff look like they are using their hours off to do some powder-busting of their own. We are all skiers in paradise together! The rooms are very comfortable. They are built for skiers with plenty of pegs in the wall for your snow-covered outerwear to dry. The acoustic insulation is excellent; I never heard my neighbors. I liked that my room had a full bath and then another sink outside the bathroom which made it easier to share the room with several people. The rooms are thoroughly cleaned every day, and there is turndown service at night with an additional tidy up. Pro tip: I like to be on the fourth or fifth floor, close to the lobby and dining room. The dining room is amazing! I love the buffet breakfast. I prefer the healthy o

“Rustler is the BEST. Year after year.”
+If you’re looking for gold-plated faucets and marble lobbies, glitzy clientel in fur coats go elsewhere. But if you want a place that captures the soul of Alta, the Rustler is it. We are a family of four with two teenage boys, and have been staying at the Rustler on and off for six years during Spring Breaks and long weekends. And we will come back again and again for as long as we can. It starts with the people: The "Rustler Magic" begins with the staff. Every single person is kind, warm, and genuinely invested in your stay. Whether they are bantering about the day’s snow conditions, creatively solving a problem, or helping us track down a helmet we realized was left in a locker after we flew home, they treat you like family and are creative problem solvers that truly care. The food is so so good: My family literally dreams about the breakfasts here. The omelet bar is legendary, the homemade granola is epic, and the fresh-baked goods are the perfect fuel for a big day. Dinners are equally impressive - healthy, delicious, and perfectly portioned. It's EASY: The convenience is unbeatable. Being ski-in/ski-out with an on-site rental shop and easy lockers takes the stress out of the m

“Home Away From Home”
+After a two-year hiatus from visiting the Rustler Lodge due to health issues, my wife and I, family, and friends, returned for a visit this week. We couldn’t be more pleased with the warm welcome, and gracious hospitality. The facility ticks a lot of boxes: ski in / ski out, spa, on-site ski shop, etc. It has an upscale lodge feel, without being fussy. It is the staff, however, which make the Rustler a stand-out. Every individual we’ve had an interaction with check-in, dining room, bar, housekeeping, and management, has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to service and a friendly attitude. They make it very easy to settle in, and slip into vacation mode, so that you can relax and enjoy your time at this very special place. Our heart-felt thanks to the team.

“The Best Lodge in Utah”
+We just spent a week at the Rustler Lodge in Alta Utah. We have been there several times and this time met all expectations. The room was bright and clean with a beautiful view. It was perfectly quiet in spite of being located near the ski lockers and ski shop. The food was excellent and the service was prompt and extremely friendly. The staff was happy to chat with us and tell us where they were from so we could establish a rapport with them. The outdoor swimming pool offers a beautiful view of the High Rustler run. It is fun to watch ski patrollers make their way down at the end of the day from the warmth of the pool or adjacent hot tub. We look forward to returning next year!

“Ski ski out casual elegance at the base of Alta”
+Literally the best. Down to earth elegance with every touch thought of at the base of one of the best ski mountains in the world, ski in and ski out. From the great staff, to the delicious food, to the top notch ski and rental shop, to the views and to the best hotel manager I have ever interacted with (shout out to Kate!), the Rustler will grab you and never let go.

“Classic ski resort to make long lasting memories….”
+This was my 4th stay at The Rustler. I highly recommend it for a memorable and perfect ski in/ski out vacation. The staff is friendly, professional, detail oriented and helpful. Breakfast is wonderful which many options. The dinner menu always has many options to choose from. You will not go hungry while at The Rustler! The ski shop downstairs is convenient and the staff really know their ski equipment,-they also are helpful in adjusting the fit of your ski boots. If you want a “dream ski vacation” at Alta, the Rustler provides it, along with the challenging skiing at this wonderful classic ski mountain.

“Hospitality at its best!”
+You find out real service in adversity- I had to cut my trip this year short due to injury. Handled with kindness and care- the entire staff, front and back of house- Kate, Katrina, John, the list goes on. My favorite spot in the world.

“The best place to stay in Alta”
+What can I say. The Rustler in my wife’s and my opinion is the only place to stay when going to Alta. The staff is incredible. Friendly, accommodating, and they always have a great uplifting attitude. Lots of laughs. And the food is incredible and delicious. This was our third year in a row staying at the Rustler and we have already booked for next year. If you’re planning a trip to Alta, the Rustler is the only place to stay. A true skiers environment with the traditional lodge feeling.

“Above and Beyond....”
+This was the 3rd time I have stayed at the Lodge. I will say that the accommodations and food and facilities were great. But more importantly, a member of our party had a medical emergency that necessitated an immediate hospitalization. The people at the lodge went out of their way to be helpful and accommodating. Actually they went above and beyond, and isn't that what you would hope for when traveling away from home? Consideration and kindness. Thank you. Todd P.
