Love the Rustler Lodge!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Feb 23, 2022
I have been a repeat customer at the Rustler Lodge for 20 years - the food is fantastic, the service outstanding and the location can't be beat. Tom and Kate and their staff took great care of our group. I am already looking forward to my trip for 2022!

      This was my first visit to the Rustler Lodge, what a great experience! The staff is helpful and friendly and the food is great. There is a ski shop on site and ski in / ski out on a magnificent mountain. What more could you ask for. I highly recommend.

      We've stayed at other Alta hotels in past years and have enjoyed all of them. But in 2021 (and again this year) we upgraded to the Rustler and were not disappointed! If you are looking for an old-school ski lodge experience where the food is delicious, the views spectacular, the guests friendly, the bartender knows your drink, the staff enthusiastic, then Rustler is the place. Most importantly everyone (guests, staff, etc) shares a love of skiing this unmatched mountain! If your priorities are high threadcount sheets, pampered room service, or saving money...then you may do better elsewhere.

      Your description of the Rustler has made it onto my top ten list. Thank you for seeing us and appreciating what is special about this storied Lodge. Yes, we are skiers, and yes, we love this place and the guests that allow us to live our dreams. We want to help them live theirs too while they are staying with us!
      And you're right about those that will be most happy staying here ;)

      If someone's coming to Alta and says they're going to the rustler. My eyes light up and I tell them of the wonderful breakfast dinner and lunches I've enjoyed there. The food is so excellent, and completely takes the stress out of finding a meal while on a ski vacation. In addition to food, the Rustler does everything well. The pool is lovely, in the sun and clean. The sauna and steam room are top notch. There's a reason the Weasels do business with the Rustler. It's because they're incredibly consistent, just like us.

      We have been staying at the rustler for 20 years. The quality has remained the same throughout this time. Good clean rooms. Awesome food. Lodge feel. Great bar. It is the place to stay on the mountain that has the best snow in the world. And no snowboarders!!

      Family or friends, it’s a great place.

      The Rustler is just the best for the full Alta experience. The staff are super accommodating and personable, the food top notch and you can not get any better than sleeping one pole-push from the first chair. Our guys trip was great - soaking in the pool watching the sun drop behind the mountain with a cold beer looking up to see your track (or pretending to see your tracks!) can not be beat.
