Skiing Paradise

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jan 9, 2023
The Rustler Lodge is hands down the best lodging in Little Cottonwood Valley. The inclusive breakfasts and dinners are to die for and the consistently impeccable service made my skiing vacation an absolute blast. It is located at the center of Alta ski area and offers complete ski in and ski out capabilities. The amenities are just the cherry on top as the outdoor heated pool, jacuzzis, steam room, sauna, and spa make recovering from a long tiring ski day an experience I look forward to every day. I have no doubt that I will continue to stay at the Rustler Lodge for many years to come.

    I had an amazing experience at the Rustler! The staff is amazing and very caring. You feel pampered all day. I have been lucky to ski and stay in some amazing ski resorts around the world and the Rustler fits right among those spots at the top of the list. Little Cottonwood canyon has some of the best skiing in the world and I will come back to this amazing lodge and their community !

    The personal service with the most friendly staff, best ski in ski out location in Alta. Have I mentioned the food and the view - just the best. The heated pool, the jacuzzi in the open winter snowland, unforgettable. If you need some shopping, right at the hotel. Except for skiing you never leave the hotel.

    I cannot say enough good things about my experience at Rustler’s Lodge. My room was extremely clean and comfortable. The food was outstanding. The bar was well stocked and very comfortable. The hot tub, pool, sauna, and steam room were all very clean and well maintained. The staff immediately make you feel like family and they anticipate your every need. The ski out exit leads to a tow line that you can take to two different base areas. You can buy your lift passes right at the front desk. I shipped my gear ahead and it was already in my room upon my arrival. When I was leaving, the staff labeled my gear and had it ready to be picked up. I will definitely be going back there. It feels like home.

    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.

    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.
