By the end of our stay, we were on a first name basis with several of the staff. The room and amenities are first class. The restaurant's rotation and range of menu was a real treat. The access to the rope-tow, on-site ski shop, and Apres happy hour snacks and beer are other convenient thoughts.
We want each stay to remind you of the best of what family should be. Thank you for your glowing review. Part of the joy of working at the Rustler is the genuine culture of hospitality that permeates the lodge. Our guests bask in it and reflect it. To get to know you is a genuine delight and very rewarding. Thank you for your kind words. We look forward to your swift return!

I can't say enough about Rustlers. It is one of my favorite places to stay anywhere. It is expensive but worth it. We've been going periodically over for over 25 years and it is unquestionably the best place to stay- wonderful friendly staff, great food, beautiful dining room and bar, great pool and hot tub - the only bad part is having to leave, and waiting to return.
Nothing could make us happier than making you happier. To chose to stay with us for over 25 years is an accolade we are very grateful to have earned. Thank you for considering us the best. We look forward to your swift return and thank you again for choosing to make so many memories at the Rustler.
Warmly,

We have been at the Rustler several times and ski a lot in Utah and Colorado so I can reliably report on what is undeniably the best ski lodging experience in existence .
Once one shows up ( easy shuttle ride from airport ) everything is looked after. Ski rental is in the building as is the outdoor hot tub, heated outdoor pool and the spa for massages.
Buffet breakfast daily and three course sit down dinner plus dessert is included in the price of lodging .
Ski in and ski out with ski locker
Rope tow at the base takes you to main lifts
The hotel has its own chairlift !
Hotel bar
Laundry
Library and games room
Friendly staff
Complementary snacks around 5
Extensive selection of skis for rental
Can bring your own wine for dinner, corking fee
We have stayed in Mountain View rooms and in lower level rooms . All good , as mostly one just sleeps in the rooms
Remember to book your dinner time before you come for the first night or 2.
Book your massage ahead too.
ALTA is a great mountain , ski only , and the Rustler makes it even better.
Can cross over to Snowbird at the top and ski there too.
Do yourself a favor and stay at the Rustler. It takes all the annoyance factor out of the ski trip so you can enjoy the skiing without the fuss factor.
What an amazing review! Thank you for the many details you mention that make the Rustler so special and help those who haven't visited us understand a bit about what sets us apart. For those who want a true ski vacation, without the worries of food planning and preparation, staying slopeside with us is a luxurious experience that will spoil you forevermore. Looking forward to your swift return with many thanks,

I have had the privilege of staying at the Rustler several times in recent years, and the first time was way back in the early 1970s. It remains at the top of anyplace I've stayed anywhere in the US or Europe. Do not hesitate to treat yourself to this ski in/ski out experience at Alta. In spite of the Covid challenges, staff and management provided a very steady hand in 2022 to make this winter as good as all the others. I appreciated their vaccination requirement and felt safer as a result.
The food is excellent, the bar is an oasis, the pool/hot tubs always a good temperature, and the in house ski shop will rent you all the gear you need. Leave your skis at home and rent quality skis that match the conditions during your stay.
Make the Rustler your Alta home!
What a lovely review! Thank you for the high praise! We're always delighted to have guests stay with us and become part of the Rustler family. I am so glad that you are part of the clan. It is our pleasure to pamper our guests, and our goal to make the Rustler the easiest and most relaxing ski experience available. I am so glad we were able to make you and so many of our guests feel safer with our vaccination requirements. Looking forward to your swift return,

As usual - this was another Rustler stay - the accommodations and staff were great. This time however, during the eve (hopefully) of the Covid pandemic, I was concerned about eating ( mask down) in a crowded dining room. The dining managers and waitstaff could not have been more understanding & accommodating to my concerns. They provided me a small solo table reserved for breakfast and dinner in a corner of the bar. It worked out so well - the service was terrific. This is just one unique example of Rustler's top-notch customer service.
Thank you for trusting us to safely host you for another stay at the Rustler. We have worked hard for a number of seasons to care for our guests and assuage their legitimate concerns about the pandemic. Thank you for commending our staff and culture. We look forward to welcoming you back as soon as you're able to return.
With warm thanks,
