Superb room, space, views - got a mountain view room that was spacious and beautiful - nice décor. The program is breakfast and dinner daily, food was delicious and varied each day. Went with my husband and son and had a wonderful stay.

Review of Alta's Rustler Lodge
Reviewed Jan 9, 2017
The Rustler Lodge has it all -- ski in/out, great food, ski store and accommodating service. I had a fantastic time at this well located lodge on wonderful Alta mountain. They accommodated me with late check out so I could use my room after my last day of skiing. Also, something went wrong with one of my boots (I brought my own boots). They were able to fix them and make them comfortable again. Will definitely return.

We appreciate you! Thank you for your compliments. We're always happy to offer a late check out when we're able and glad you could enjoy some runs before leaving what we also think of as Nirvana--Alta and the Rustler Lodge. Come back soon and thank you again for choosing to stay with us, Sheridan Davis

Comfortable beds and with a superior corner suite, more than enough room for four people. Plenty of luggage and drying space in the room and bathroom is huge (though a bit cold as there wasn't any door to close off shower space). Fill up the included humidifiers, as it makes sleeping much better. Can't remember much in the way of noise from anywhere aside from the groomers early in the morning.
Included breakfast was hearty and with a bit of cooked food variety, kept us interested for the whole week. We mostly returned for lunch as well and the food was always great. Finally dinner (again included in the rate) also had good variety and generally well executed (you definitely wouldn't go hungry here).
Tow ropes definitely a challenge for kids (mine were under 70lbs) and even my wife sometimes (she is under 110lbs) so get the free shuttle in the morning, especially if you are turning left where the end of the rope is uphill. Easy return location too. Ski shop downstairs quite comprehensive and with good service though definitely not cheap.
Comparing prices you could probably stay off property and save $300-400 per day (not a small amount) but we only ski once a year and the location and service hard to beat.

We have been staying at the Rustler for about 50 years. They have always provided for our needs with initiative and in the family style. Great skiing with easy access, great food, great accommodations, and most of all the culture is one of a skiing family in a ski lodge. Dine at the Wasatch Table and meet new friends and see old ones.

Thank you for your gracious review. Returning guests make the Rustler what it is today, and your tenure is exceptional! Thank you for making us part of your family traditions. The culture created by our guests who stay with us year after year is mirrored by the Rustler's long term family ownership and management team. Those deep connections are part of the Rustler and Alta's skiing culture and are increasingly rare--thank you for speaking to those intangibles in your review. All our guests are welcome to join our hosted Wasatch Table at dinner where tall tales may be heard between old and new skiing friends over a gourmet four course meal accompanied by a complimentary glass of wine. We look forward to hosting you this year and thank you again for capturing much of what makes staying at the Rustler so special. With kind regards, Sheridan Davis

Like Alta itself, it is hard to beat the Rustler Lodge. Friendly and unpretentious they seem to have a thorough understanding of how to run and maintain a genuine alpine lodge. The restaurant, lobby and bar have all their 60s-70s vintage charm while the the spa, pool, steam room, etc. have seen impressive remodeling so over the years. The food is 4 star, including a fabulous breakfast buffet. Rooms are just the right size, not excessive, and the dorm area is quite nice. Bar/restaurant and most rooms have commanding views of Mt Superior and High Rustler. The staff seem to love the place as much as the guest if that's any indication.

Couldn't be better in any sense of the word. The food, lodging, staff service were excellent. Great variety in the restaurant. Special requests were given highest priority. The meeting rooms provided plenty of privacy.
