Friendly, attentive, staff. Delicious meals. Very comfortable relaxed lodge. Everyone in our 3 generation (12person) family felt the Rustler is the best!! We have stayed there many times and will keep returning.

We have just completed our 4th stay (of 11 fabulous days) at Alta’s Rustler lodge. That in itself is high recommendation. It is indeed our ‘home away from home’ in the US as that is exactly how you are made to feel as soon as you arrive at the Rustler and throughout your stay. It is the perfect luxury ski holiday in every way.

To begin with the staff are all amazing. I’m not sure how the management select and train staff to such a high standard each season but I’m sure it has something to do with the fact that the management has not changed in many years and they have everything running like a well oiled machine. Assistant managers Sheridan, Jackie and Rebecca obviously love their job and do everything to make your stay memorable and wonderful from hosting the Wasatch Table at dinner, which we have joined on many occasions as , to immediately fixing any problems and always making everyone feel welcome and at home.

The meals are wonderful with a lavish breakfast each morning that includes a buffet, omelettes as well as anything else from the kitchen that you care to order. Dinners are 4 courses from a full menu which change each night. Breakfast & dinner are included as well as drinks and snacks after skiing on 3 days but there are snacks in the bar each afternoon. The salmon was a highlight!

Rustler has its own chairlift so while lunch is not included, it’s the best food on the mountain and has full table service. Very relaxing. There’s always tea & coffee available and the most delicious cookies appear throughout the day. It’s great value when you consider everything but alcohol is included.

There are a variety of rooms and we always choose a room in the original building. To our great delight, it was refurbished over the summer, including a new bathroom, bed and furniture! A few years ago I had a very nasty accident while skiing. I was struggling to walk up the stairs to the room but without even asking, we were moved to a new room close to the lift. The consideration shown by staff was amazing.

A day at the Rustler begins with a yoga/stretch class at 7:15am followed by breakfast. Ski all day and return to a hot tub and the swimming pool. Get a margarita from the bar in a plastic cup and take it to the pool - heaven. Then it’s dinner and time to sleep! Repeat!

I can not recommend the Rustler highly enough. That’s why we travel there all the way from Australia each year. Hopefully we’ll be back in 2020!

The Rustler Lodge is the premier place to stay in Alta. Between the well-appointed rooms, the inviting bar & dining areas, the luxurious spa area, the top-notch food and the engaging staff, I dare say one cannot find a more superlative ski lodge experience in this country.
