My wife and I surprised our kids with a week long ski trip to Alta, UT. We stayed at the Rustler Lodge and can't imagine a more perfect stay. The Rustler staff were incredibly helpful, attentive and personable. We drove our rental car into the covered garage, handed the keys to a staff member and our bags were waiting in the room when we opened the door.

We had our rental equipment sized and ready to go in no time and were able to get a few runs in the first day. Having the ski shop inside the Lodge may renting quick and easy -especially for our 5 & 9 year olds.

We had 2 adjoining rooms. Our room had a king bed and the kids' room had 2 queens with pull-out couch. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and clean. Large bathrooms with extra sinks were much appreciated. Tons of hooks to hang ski gear and jackets. We all slept like rocks.

Food: We ate breakfast and dinner at the Rustler every day during our visit. The food was amazing. We did not here a single complaint from any of the kids. We fueled up each morning at the breakfast buffet and tried everything on the menu each night. The dinner specials were delicious and the waitstaff were exceptional. The Rustler offered a kids dinner on the weekend where our kids ate as a group with other kids followed by crafts and a movie. My wife and I enjoyed a nice dinner (without kids)!

The outdoor heated pool and jacuzzi were such a great way to end our day. I was nice to relax and soothe our sore muscles after a long day skiing.

We can't wait to go back to the Rustler. Thank you for an amazing vacation.

My husband and I have come here for years. It is a ski in- ski out lodge on the best slopes anywhere. Almost always have great snow. The price of the room includes an anything you want for breakfast and a fabulous 4 course dinner every night with many chioices. The staff is great. Tom, the owner, is always around and dinner at the Wasatch table with Sherman and other guests is a great way to meet other guests. Free drinks and horses d'our vessel every night. If you want to ski, not shop, thus is the only place to be. It is a short drive from the airport so you can skip on your travel days...impossible anywhere in Colorado.

The Rustler Lodge remains the top shelf, exceptionally managed operation that we have cherished over the last 30+ years.
Year in and year out their ability to deliver an extraordinary lodging, dining and skiing experience remains superb. We invade them with a large group that surely poses serious challenges to them, but they flawlessly execute our visit with a remarkably consistent first class approach.
The only thing lacking is the Rustler's failure to arrange it so that the Patriots are playing in the Super Bowl game during our visit every year, instead of the other rather uninteresting teams...but I know they're working on that for us.
